Ownership change was needed because fotum was really inactive the last few months! I hope and expect that this ownership change don't only will result in a change of "colors". I know that you how to effectively moderate forums, but advertising this forum will probably become just as important.
I would really like to see this forum grow

I promise you that's being worked on more than you know.

We definitely have bigger plans for this place so just sit tight and enjoy the ride with us. :)

Thanks for the gratz folks.

Won't be any immediate major changes in here. Maybe a bit of tidying up and re-shuffling, but the place generally works fairly well as it is.

If it (largely) ain't broke, don't fix it .....

And Kiwiman ... there is more to a forum than how it looks. Shiny GFX are nice, but it's a well run forum, with an active and engaged membership (jeeez .... you made me descend into business speak ) thats well looked after that really shines. Some of the best forums on the net are plain as you like, but have good content and members.

When I'm browing for a forum, the skin is not something I'm really interested in unless it actually makes it difficult to read ....

If you really thought I just ment how the forums looks then you are wrong.
I really wasnt trying to be offensive at all.

@ Luminous, I can acctually say what ever I think if I want to, I am not breaking any rules at all.
If you have a problem with it then honsestly thats not my problem.
Sorry man but it is true.

Unless I make it a rule. lol, j/k. Really man, I'm not trying to start anything with you. I liked you enough as a member before the last couple days when things kinda turned sour. I'd just like to request that you be more considerate in some of your posts. You might not mean for them to be offensive but they are and simply adding "no offense" to each one doesn't make it ok.

But SA was the first non-convict state.

well nsw has a territory inside itself!!! and that territory is the capital of australia.

Only because NSW and VIC were bitching over who got to be capital so they chose a random spot between the two cities.

But Canberra is so dullllllllll ....... we just drove straight through it!

(I lived in Victoria .... little place called Sale, for a couple of years when I was a nipper)

I know bob. Canberra is full of government buildings and museums. not a fun place. you should go to the gold coast next time your over in AUS.
