How about just giving the forum a little chance to stay on topic.
I have no problem with wingers on topic, - a negative opinion is a good opinion, don't expect all roses, just a whole lot less crap.

Yet you still clicked on this thread and ended up getting annoyed. Whose fault is that?!

lots of negatives and positives on here, what’s the problem with a bit of banter and humour on the forum?
The upheaval for most is stressful, with life changing decisions for all of us and the advise on this forum is better than ANY travel guide or book you could ever buy.
You need to loosen up Eric - with that mentality - trust me - you will get eaten alive by the Australian banter and sense of humour……
UM

1) download speed is irrelevant, - the volume of crap is..
2) We all know ignore doesn't work see earlier..
3) Another thread on this topic doesn't exist.
4) I clicked on the thread because I AGREED with the original poster who has a valid point.
5) why can't you lot "find another forum" ?
my last post on subject. - you can have the last word, we all know you won't resist.. 4 posts a day avarage??? all useful I'm sure...

Because I'm migrating to New Zealand in September and can share hopes, thought, insights and experiences with people in a similar position or who have 'done that', whether to Aus or NZ.
Because I enjoy the joking and camaraderie at a stressful time.
Because most people here are a good laugh with a great sense of humour, a great sense of perspective and valuable knowledge to share.

Most of the other posters would then soon fall away..
If you look most other similar forums you'll find one or two posts a day, if you're lucky, why do you think this one is so busy? It's entertaining, well, perhaps not for everyone, but I think most seem to agree.
Anyway, don't knock having a laugh, even Wilf is on the happy pills these days!

Pull your head out your arse mate and lighten up a bit this visa lark is a long and boring process, the forum provides light entertainment for all
if you don't like it try one of the other countless forums [some of them have threads that are only a month or so old and you may get a reply before you get your visa if your really lucky]

the negative views are important - but there's no need for personal, endless tirades or pointless cut and pastes - not because we don't want to hear then but because there are always negatives in the press in any country - its called calling the govt to accountability.
a bit of humour does not go amiss from time to time

Posts whinging about UK supermarkets, or slagging off PB however do not get deleted!!! or classed as Junk.
As you say this forum was set apart by its honesty and humour.
Thanks to the few whingers who could not handle a bit of banter and truth. You won and its now another squeaky clean "Oh my gosh its wonderful forum". Very useful when you get off the plane I bet.

this forum is brightend up by the likes of Don & Dotty. Don was off line for a few weeks and the forum was not so much fun! He has been very helpful to me in answering many questions that I have.
