Default HEY! - Groupers??

In the NT, SA & WA section it looks like you have changed the sub heading to NT, SA, Groupers & Crow Eaters.

By Groupers are you reffering to Sand Gropers??

If so, please change it to Gropers if you must call us this.

And are people only from suberban Adelaide called Crow Eaters? I thought all South Australian's was labled this?

Thanx.

Sandgroper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandgroper may refer to:

Sandgroper (insect), a type of burrowing insect found in Western Australia
Sandgroper, nickname for an inhabitant or native of Western Australia

No, it cant be four years. I have not been a member that long and I rememer it when it was NT, WA & SA.

Im a little bit disappointed by the Administrators attidude here.

Administrators are always going nuts over SMS lingo's. And they have stuffed up their own lingo.

Looks like nothing will be changed at all. You may was well lock the Thread about a new AFF logo as AFF dont wanna change history.

Obviously a poor attempt at humor is wasted on your critique.

I tell you what, if you feel that we are always going nuts, go away, simple solution or is that way past any intellectual hemorrhaging that you may have.

I am not in any way persuaded to justify what we prioritise on these forums taking into account that we manage it as love rather than a business, and if you feel nothing on this site has changed from day one then may i suggest you find a jar of vegimite and a stray dog and go amuse yourself.

Yes the change in banner is on the table moving forward, so is a few other things that will pro actively increase the resources of our technical and gallery forums.

This will included an update of descriptions for each forum and sub forum

Gary added another reply 5 minutes after his previous, and before i managed to respond. I was regarding to his put downs.

It was just a simple innocent request that I asked to fix a typo. But after voicing my disappontment it got rather nasty. Sorry for causing such a stir and I appreciate your attention on this.

Hrmmmm, I set it up however many years ago and stuffed it up and it was never fixed because it really doesn't matter. So there we are, it was my fault........ 4:
