Re: Are there too many Australia sub-forums
Friend of mine has never posted on here.
She is a nurse and wants advice on visas.
Would like to meet people in similar circumstances.
She has been here several months and would like to discuss her new life but unfortunately she is prone to rabbitting on about drivel.
Can also be quite controversial especially on sport.
Told her it's no problem. Just start a thread in the...........
Immigration, Barbie, Lifestyle, Nurses, G'day mate, Meet ups, Update, TIO and Locker room forums.
Yes, there are far too many.

Re: Are there too many Australia sub-forums
I eagerly await the following sub-forums:
- Lettuce is a rip-off
- Got it!!!!111!!1
- Shipping [Possibly with a sub-sub-forum just for people asking if they should ship everything or start from scratch]
- Water down the plughole
- My son/daughter/husband/wife isn't settling in/is getting bullied/can't find work
- Cheese
- Mooncups
I'm surprised you left out:
- The range of shops (or lack of) therapy board
- "If I see another BBQ or beach I'll scream" refuge corner
- 101 things you hate about Australia and more exciting polls

Re: Are there too many Australia sub-forums
When I was a newbie here, i think my first post was a terrified/nervous one about spouse visas in the visa bit, which JAJ and Moneypen answered. I didn't need to do the whole 'Hello, my name's iPom/life story' thing because where's the interest in answering that?
People who want to introduce themselves here do so quite adequately in their opening posts I find.
Yes, too many forums.

Re: Are there too many Australia sub-forums
I'd quite like to see the back of the 'G'day Mate' forum because unless you're going to get some members to become a 'Welcome committee' specifically for that area, then sadly it's going to become completely overlooked.

Personally (as me not as a Mod) I think we could absorb the newbie one into the Lifestyle one, as they are usually asking other questions as well, not just introducing themselves.

Re: Are there too many Australia sub-forums
The thread would run in both boards, in real time. Its simple enough to do. It wouldn't look any different to any thread now.
