D&G hosts a better environment. Sad to see it go down to two from three.

Ozzy mate! I have your correspondence course to post to you. Small blue book.

Lancaster.

Poms bottled it on Day One like I said. Go Ausssie Go!

Question

I say Woomera me boyo, would you be after explainin' what the divil has been going on?? And in plain language if you'd be so kind!
Almost thought I'd had one too many glasses of the good stuff!!

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Animalclub;
Only one Jabba I know....
Em Nau! And don't I know it!! Was feeling like death warmed up wantaim and got sent to the aforementioned who promptly diagnosed a 'vitamin deficiency' and prescribed the cure for which he is (in)famous!!!
A week later was feeling at death's door so staggered along to a Doctor Solomon (National type) who took one look at me and said,
"You've got malaria, son!'
Apologies to all whom may remember me posting similar earlier!

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Animalclub maaaate! You've been away from here a loooong time mate. Even Pinky has been away too long to know, but the "Jabba" to which you refer has long since departed these shores.

We're down to two forums. Executive decision from Head Office.

Actually, two forums is easier for us Woomeri and one, if not two of the previous forums wasn't getting a lot of business.

But no need for panic - the Australia/Pacific region is still the second largest for PPRuNe (after UK/Europe).

Im a bit confused here . I understand the bandwidth debate. Im sure there are other forums that could be culled or combined for bandwidth than ours. Safety and CRM and Aunt Agony Forums both deal with CRM issues and have only 500 odd topics a piece. Just look at these figures of viewers in the last 24 hours, PPRUNE data aswell. Sort of show Australians are the second most prominent users after the UK.

Country Views

United Kingdom (49.98%) 704,363

Australia (10.93%) 153,977

United States (9.23%) 130,094

Canada (2.83%) 39,826

Ireland (2.55%) 35,995

United Arab Emirates (2.43%) 34,302

(1.62%) 22,836

Germany (1.55%) 21,790

France (1.54%) 21,649

New Zealand (1.48%) 20,860

Netherlands (1.48%) 20,823

Hong Kong (1.35%) 19,064

South Africa (1.18%) 16,572

Singapore (0.90%) 12,626

Switzerland (0.82%) 11,581

Spain (0.78%) 10,960


Interesting indeed.

Sheep

P.S I suppose there are other techinical issues that havent been talked about here, that have forced management to take this action.

What that doesn't show is the ratio of moderators to views.

I can assure you it is lower than anywhere else. Think I got that right = we work hard for you.

I no complain, but 2 is easier to control than 4 and the quality of your posts is better, thank you all for that.

Yes it will make your job easier. Thanks for your contributions to this thread. But now that it has been reduced to 2 forums it will effect those figures i just posted more than likely a reduction mark my words.
