- You may be looking for the in-universe website.
Cybus was a website released in May 2006 by the BBC to coincide with series two of the revived series of Doctor Who, specifically the two-parter Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel. The website, along with all the tie-in websites launched post-2005, was built by Sequence. No specific crew were credited, although one short story was written by Tom MacRae.
The website contained a mix of narrative and non-narrative fiction, all told from an in-universe perspective, as if you were reading the very pages on the in-universe Cybus Industries website, as it would therefore exist in Pete's World, a short time prior the events of the two-parter.
The website was no longer hosted by the BBC by 2013, and this Wiki advises caution visiting the unarchived website as the url has been taken over by seemingly dubious owners who likely have put malware and phishing scams onto the site.
