They always find an excuse. First Aggedor.com, now the Theme Repository.

And how dare they give you less than 24 hours' notice. Maryland is in the Eastern time zone, so they only gave you 21 hours' notice. Even 24 hours is too short. What if you'd been on holiday?

Lucas doesn't seem to have any problems with fansites supporting a franchise that is significantly larger worldwide than DW.
They're already complaining about the current season on IMDb's boards. The last thing the BBC can afford to do right now is turn their own fans against their flagship show.

Shame. The Theme Repository will be greatly missed.

Otherwise, have a nice weekend.
