It goes around; it comes around. At the end of the day it's a reflection of life with so many varied human "species" that we will not always see eye to eye.
Yet, as in real life we get over it and survive.

However there was a big difference with the latest episode and one that I have not witnessed before. It was in the way the recent events were handled by the forum Admin and Moderation departments. In their defense I should say "were perceived" to have been handled.

A very large part of the membership did not agree with the actions taken or the methods employed........banning people they thought were innocent, deleting threads seemed to be covering tracks and closing any thread that tried to air the discontentment.

This is not a public site. It is a private enterprise. If we do not like the way it's run then tough, we can go elsewhere. Now, I don't honestly believe that was the intent of the site "bosses" but that is the way it was interpreted and their refusal to communicate seemed to endorse it.

Certainly many, many members have interpreted it that way so have gone to pastures new. As a consequence this site has been degraded. In all likelihood it will again recover but that will take time. In the meantime the fragmentation means so much could be lost that is invaluable especially to new migrant hopefulls.

My part on here has been to try to brighten the day with some humour to cut through those stressful times and I hope I don't offend in doing that. Others are far more important in that they bring so much useful knowledge......but how will that be imparted now ?

I really am deeply, deeply saddened :( :( :(


Oh Bixie dont be blue i still love you xx :D

Of course people are entitled to their opinions, isn't that what free speech is all about. It is what makes us all different and the world an interesting and diverse place to live in.

BUT, surely there is no need for people to be downright vicious when answering posts, or posting their own views and then ripping people to shreds when they disagree.

Just because it happened to you, doesn't mean it will happen to me, and vice versa.

Some people need to be a little more tolerant of others and accept that different folks have different needs and expectations from life. Life is what you make it and just because you are not enjoying your life doesn't mean I should hate mine too.

Mmmm hope you dont mind as ive only been on here for about a week but i have to say very well put. me and the wife will hopefully be out there in sunny perth by the beginning of december and when i start reading negative things about the place im going to call my home it worries me and im not the worrying type. ofcource its nice to hear different oppinions but i have to say that there seems to be quite a negativity about australia so id like to say to all of you "do you regret the move from lovely ole blighty?"

No worries mate, still feel like a newcomer myself, and don't always like to interupt those who have more experience. But I am getting fed up with those who say "this is the way it is, I know everything, you will fail, you will hate it". I just wanna say, let me be and let me find out on my own.

Everyone should have an opinion, but it is only an opinion and not does not apply to every situation and is not fact.

BEcause they failed they are coming on Monday, free of charge. I suppose it is only 2 days and looking at the big picture, what is 2 days between friends! Still annoyed though.
