To start with - please keep this place friendly - no flaming eachother etc.. Aussies are known for their friendliness - lets not spoil it
For now - if I see any flaming - the offender will be removed - Keep it simple - we're here to make new friends, learn stuff from eachother, and to talk Aussie crap
We have a few minors in the group - set a good example, I think they have enough garbage to cope with without us misleading them in any way.. (said as a concerned parent)
A joke is a joke.. if someone is having a joke with you and you take it the wrong way - please contact them and clarify their meaning - remember Aussies have a good sense of humour. If it turns out that person was having a shot at you - and it continues.. I can be contacted at
randy_peaks@yahoo.com.au - please provide a copy of the private messages or whatever that has upset you and I shall 'take it to the board'..

Help: The Shout Bar!
The The Shout Bar! is a place where members can write short messages for
everyone to see. It is a quick and fun way for people to catch up with each other
in a group. Unlike the Discussion Board which follows a more traditional forum style
exchange, the The Shout Bar! emphasizes what is happening right now and right here in your group.
For this reason, messages are limited to 100 characters, and only the most recent messages are displayed.
A "new" icon (

) appearing in front of a message indicates that the message was posted within the last
5 minutes.
To see the date and time when a message was posted, move your mouse cursor over the message, and
a tooltip will appear that shows you the post date and time of the message.
Please note that if your message is deemed unsuitable for the group, it may be deleted from the The Shout Bar!.
To post a message, click on the "Post Message" link. Please note that only a subset of the
message syntax is supported for messages. Please click on the "Syntax Help" button to find out more.
