I heard about this site a while ago and kept meaning to join but didn't get around to it until now. I know some of you from LiveJournal (I'm also ghost2 over there).
I'm mostly a Classic Who fan, though I also watch New Who. I love Big Finish, The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Torchwood, and I've read a handful of DW novels but am hopelessly far behind on them.
Favorite Doctors: Four, Five, Seven Favorite companions: Barbara, Ian, K-9, Ace, Evelyn, Charley are among them.
As for fandom activities, I'm a moderator at Teaspoon, so if you have questions or any problems over there, feel free to contact me. I own an mp3 player only so I can listen to Big Finish, and I learned to knit just so I can make DW-related items.

Welcome ghost2! Hope you enjoy the place. Your name sounds familiar - I think I may have seen you on LJ or the Teaspoon. (It's less likely you know me as I haven't been on those places for a while and even then I mostly lurked. Also, I've used all manner of pseudonyms to the point where I don't always remember them.) I'm a fan of both both Classic and New Who. I have to admit, I do especially like it when we get new fans of the classic show here, just because I like to keep that part of the board running. I used to be quite into Big Finish - unfortunately, I got busy with other things and need to catch up. I don't know what time zone you're in but if it's convenient for you, do check out our every-other-week Doctor Who watchalong, DW Live. This thread has all the details.

Hello! I'm Cadet. Sorry to say that I don't know you at all, from either site, but now I'll know you on here, so all's well.
I'm not particularly well-versed in terms of Classic, but I'm getting better slowly. My all-time favorite Doctor is Seven. I'm not really sure what else to say, so I'll settle for welcoming you and asking if I can call you Ghost, because typing numbers on a touch screen gets very annoying.

Hi there, ghost2! I, too, believe I've seen you around. I'm also mainly into Classic Who. Glad to see more us!

Hello there, ghost2 - fancy meeting you here! ;D
Always good to have new people onboard, and we oldschool fans need to stick together. We do have a fairly broad church here, actually, with people of all ages and interests, so I'm sure you'll find plenty of common ground with the existing members. And considering how many people seem to have come here via Teaspoon, it seems appropriate that you, too, should find your way here.
So, welcome! And I hope you'll enjoy the time you spend here.

Hi, everyone. I'll probably participate in DW Live at least occasionally. Cadet, I don't mind if you call me Ghost. The reason I originally added a 2 to the name is that I needed to register on LJ really quickly, and every name I wanted to use was already taken. So I stuck the 2 at the end to get the account up and running right away.
One of my goals this year is to watch Classic Who in order beginning with the Second Doctor (I've already seen all of the First), but I'm off to a slow start.

It's certainly an admirable goal, though. I'm going to try to watch as much as possible myself this year. It seems that I spend far more time pontificating about Who on the internets than I do actually, you know, watching it. Something I need to remedy.

Oh, I've watched it all up 'till Five. Took a break after The Keeper of Traken. Should start again, soon, I think.

Aw, couldn't face Four taking a header off that radio-telescope? I completely sympathise. He does go out like a champ, though.

That's pretty much the truth, actually. Sad, aren't I?

It has come to my attention that I have not yet said hi! Welcome aboard! I am also a five fan! We seem to be getting more people lately who rank him amongst their top Doctors. Perhaps he'll finally be able to win the next game of Doctor vs. Doctor! XD
