...welcome our new tech-geek-basement-dwelling-dalek-building-anti-human overlords.

(I suppose they will be built in basements given the bloody things can now fly).

...it's just that they've chosen not to for rather a long time. They were first seen flying in "Rememberance of the the Daleks", a Sylvester McCoy story, and notably in all their appearances in the new series.

I've just been reading the site. These people are very serious and it's a well constructed site with lots of well organised information.

How about a 'Reg Challenge' for autonomous Daleks making their way around a shopping centre having to buy a list of items from the shops?

You mean as opposed to the softcore dalek photos that made Katy Manning notorious?

"we don't 'do' Dalek fiction"

Erm, unless I've missed something major isn't everything to do with Daleks fictional?

PH angle: trying saying "Paris Hilton" in a Dalek voice. :-)

Better not show the Dalek guys this photo of a Dalek made by a museum recently.

True Dalek builders have a code of honour only to make accurate looking Daleks.

So, are we running a sweepstake on how long this survives until the BBC send in the lawyers?

The Gay Daleks are planning gaylactic hardcore sadism & domination with their nine inch refractors.

What? Right, yes, it's the one with the half empty bottle of cheap sherry in the outer pocket. Ta.

Would they screech "Ex-foliate!!" ??

Daleks were referred to as using anti-gravity units in the Tom Baker story Destiny of the Daleks.

These were, admittedly, not built-in to their shells but the utility was there from early on. I think they were actually called anti-gravity discs.

Not to mention that saying when the daleks started to fly implies linear time upon a time-travelling race.

The first published plans for a Dalek were in the 10th anniversary special issue of Radio Times in 1973, which contained an episode guide, Dalek story and interviews as well as aforementioned plans.

Plus, the BBC don't own the rights to Daleks: Terry Nation their creator (or rather his estate now) owns the copyright on Daleks.

Its a rather cool site :D

WE WILL CON-QUER THE U-NI-VERSE. AND THEN GO SHOP-PING! PA-RIS HIL-TON WILL SHOW US THE WAY!

The original bunch of Dalek building Geeks have been going over 10 years and can be found here:
