Join the new world

I sense some shenanigans.

The problem with Binda leaving Australia is that she continues to retain her Admin on the forums and ALWAYS comes back anyway....

Now if assassination was an option you'd have me interested

XG is closing the forums Larni.

shame he didn't do it years ago when he lost interest....

I am finished

Do not forget "Neutral".

You all belong in a childs game like Chutes and Ladders or Candyland.

I call dibs on Candyland. That sounds epic.

Its a shame, the forums are a great place.

😁
yes & soon to be were

The vast majority choose not to use the current dead and controversial forums let alone even post in them, In fact even those that do support them don't even post anymore...there will be new ones opening on May 5th with admins elected every two months. It's a free site but with no adverts so donations won't be an issue or lead to accusations of bias against the owners.

A lot of work is going into them and they look pretty damned good actually \o/

I've never lived any place but eAustralia since joining in July 2009. I find it sad that so much of our eHistory is going down the drain with the closing of the forum. There are memories there that will never be duplicated by any of you newer players, we had so much to overcome but we were a community back then, I miss those days. 🙁

Someone could make a backup of the forums and then publish them on the Web so that anyone can visit those old memories any time they want. Frankly, I think if you need to actually visit a site to read your memories then you're probably too old to be up all night playing games.

lol I don't think I'd visit a site to read my memories.

Most countries have lost that sense of community sadly from what people tell me, still when i first came here I didnt get involved in all the petitions to get a certain admin removed, but what I have seen in the past couple of weeks speaks volumes...especially when the owner would rather close the site altogether than replace a friend who the vast majority want replaced as an admin.

Sounds like a good idea, in my opinion.

For newcomers to this game, the Forums must seem somewhat intimidating. "You mean to get involved in politics in this game, I have to get involved in another website? To get elected to office, I have to first earn the respect of veteran players? And here I thought this was going to be a simple game, not such a huge investment of time." To us that doesn't sound like an unreasonable request. But for new players it can be a deal breaker. Getting rid of the Forums should bring the politicing back onto the eRep website. It would revitalize the Media module and centralize political discussion to one web site. Will that lead to PTOers and crooks being elected to office? Probably. But it's not like that hasn't been a problem in the past despite our best efforts to pick out the bad smelling eggs.

We are working on new forums as we speak...but...BUT...the majority of Government work (if you get stuck with me as CP) will be in-game via articles and PM's. IRC ill also be used but the old forum, controversies, red tape etc will be a thing of the past. Even those that don't want them gone aren't active on them so it is time for a new start of eAustralia

I have always said that forums should be an extension to the game. Forums can serve a purpose - debates, keeping records, posting long IRC logs etc, but in my opinion they shouldn't dictate how things work in game. People shouldn't be forced to sign up to them, and if they don't, they shouldn't be punished for it. The vast majority of Aus players (and I assume it is the same for other eCountries) play in game and no where else. They shouldn't feel like they aren't a part of the game simply because they didn't sign up to a forum.


An extension to the game. They should never, ever, dictate to or govern the game.

Who even plays this game still?

You, judging by your strength increasing every day 😉

I linger like a bad smell to a piece of shit.

...yet you're still as sexy as hell
