Just a quicky but does anyone post on here at all now, or does Andrew just delete them coz they might be a tad controversial, (Eventually!!)

My Apology
« Thread Started on Today at 8:21am »
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all fans of Doctor Who,
I sincerley apologise for the hoax on the Marco Polo episode "The Wall of Lies."
I know alot of you had high hopes of seeing it's eventual return, but none of it was true.
I am humbly sorry for all the hurt, anger, angst, the time & effort that you all put into it.
To the many people I hurt namely, Ian Levine, Ash Stewart, Steve Sigel, LanceM, Nathanael Curnow, Tom Squire, Steve Roberts & the RT Team & all the others who I can not remember their name's but were equally important. I am Sorry.
As an act of good will I have surrendered adminstration duties of this forum (AUC) over to Nathanael Curnow. This site is for everyone, please enjoy it.
Thanks
Andrew Ainsworth

This will permanently stay in place on the site.

Now, Susan, go into the ship and fetch me the 2-L-O, will you? You know what it is. Even if I do find the fault, I don't suppose I shall be able to repair it before it gets dark, and then we shall all freeze to death! - The Doctor (The Roof of the World)thedisbeliever

So he's finally come clean? Big deal. It's been nearly a week since the hoax was exposed. I wanted to believe the 'Wall of Lies' story but it never rang true. Time to move on, I think.
