In which Broadsword takes an unexpected turn

Yes­ter­day I received a sim­ple e‑mail from The Keep­er of the Sword (aka web host dude), Steve Leahy. He request­ed some changes to Broadsword. Specif­i­cal­ly the clo­sure of the Book Details sec­tion, and replace it with a redi­rec­tion to The TARDIS Library.
This is a good idea, the result will be that any­one that actu­al­ly still reads Broadsword will have up-to-date info. Yet I feel as if I’m giv­ing up on some­thing again.
Time will tell, it always does.
As it hap­pens I’ve been rear­rang­ing my book­shelves at home (as a result of get­ting a nice new glass front­ed book­case for my birth­day), which means that I’ve been rear­rang­ing my Doc­tor Who books a bit so the tim­ing of these changes to Broadsword are kind of odd. It has a feel­ing of putting the books in a box and lock­ing them away nev­er to be seen again. Which is not how I feel about my Doc­tor Who books (espe­cial­ly the good ones). I doubt I’ll ever want to hide my Who col­lec­tion… but I can see that it may be nec­es­sary at some point.
Any­way it is done. Broadsword is now a lighter site. In one sin­gle move (actu­al­ly lots of key strokes) the site clos­es down three of the six sec­tions. Still to be found are the Fic­tion, the Archives and the FAQ’s, yet even these need work.
