I'm new, to both being a user at MI and having anything to do with Forums so please bear with me.
Just wondering if theres any other Australian MI people in here
and if so if theres any sorta of meeting etc among us to discuss the works of Mr Peacock or our own writings?

Well um yes thanks for your patience.

Felix the Pat.

Oy oy oy!

J/K, I'm not an Aussie, but I love Australia. Except your rating board.

Hah I am confused.
Whats a rating board?
I hate being a n00b.

i think dab is from australia, and bartman and someone else i think from nz.

As for rating system, not sure, but i do believe I've heard about different video games and shit being banned.

I mailed a CD of the original Postal to Australia once.

Yeah,
Do get a bit of the Censorship with games coming over.
and release dates that are months after the US.

Don't listen to DarkAngela, she jumps on everything late, including the "hate neofox" trend. (Between you and me, I think she just does it to be vaguely memorable.

)

Anywhoo though, yeah ratings board = censorship. It's the one blemish on Australia's image for me, and hell, I'd still go live there anyway (the games I care about aren't usually censored, except y'all ruined Fallout 3 but it wasn't really you it was Bethseda).

Plus you guys have like kangaroos, hot chicks, cool buildings, ZORBING and other awesome things! I want to go live there!

You should check this place out:
http://www.smokingtree.net/index.htm <the writers are Australian, but mostly focus on making fun of American things

http://casionova.org/
http://www.myspace.com/casionovavl1 < this is an australian dude who makes awesome music (well, awesome if you like synthpop) with old Casio home keyboards.

Also Joe, I'm NOT COMING BACK, I just couldn't let DA's comment stand. She has some major issues.

My guess is some people mistake AG for the MI version of a General Stuff section, as in "Anything that doesn't fit elsewhere Goes in this forum".
