uhuh....we segregate ourselves apparently, so our thread was closed so we'd go mix in all of the other forums :rolleyes:
actually, i believe it said you were no longer discussing tour rumors, and to please visit other forums. basically a really nice way of saying a thread is entirely off-topic now, which happens with really long threads and thus get closed.....and thus the 'purpose' of the thread is now gone. thus the lock-down, or so i imagine. it happens often enough. i would not view it as a 'personal thing'......it's a 'board thing'....the board is not meant to be a chatroom, threads are meant to have topics...we're meant to stay reasonably on the topic, etc. just sayin'....
however, DO please start up a new aussie/NZ thread when there ARE real, actual rumors b/c i would so like to know!
quite honestly, i am surprised that ANy of the 'aussie/dublin/london'...etc threads are still about since the shows come and gone. dunno....
anyhooo...i love many an aussie friend and hope to visit your fine country SOON, perhaps next year ith a pearl jam tour? *dreams*
LOL Yay! You are up late. What's shakin' over there?
Ya-hah! I've friggen been up sice 7am YESTERDAY :eek: and it's now 11:39pm.
Why am I up?? Long story short.....my 4 year old daughter wanted a sleep after kindy today and I said no because if she has a sleep she stays up all night......well she snuck off (I thought she was outside with her brothers) and put a pillow in the bottom of a box, climbed in, put a sheet over the top and fell asleep :rolleyes: Lil gem!

Ummmm. you've got the wrong thread That reason was posted on another thread with a similar name.
The reason I stated before is the reason we were given for the main (huge) Aussie thread.

and...Hi BTW
i thought that WAS the huge aussie tour thread? didn't realize there was more than one. and if that's the case...probably ALL the more reason for the lockdowns. i had only seen the one.
gotcha. none the less, bit true no? better to visit everywhere, especially since GTF is about live shows, not the usual BS we all discuss here. AET is the place for such, and thus why i love it so. still need to 'stay on topic'....but we can have more broad topics.
and HI! to you too!
i will say, in all 'fairness'...none of em should still be open really, for the same reason. except the SA thread, i think they should have a thread to speak in their native tongue...besides, most of us wouldn't know they are chatting anyway, haha.
HAHA in a box? :eek: That's so cute though! :-p Poor you though! Must be exhausted :eek:
Hehe...yeah it was cute at the time....took photos, too Little darlin' must've had a busy day at Kindy...LOL!
yep....exhausted is an understatement....I'm not a big sleeper, but being awake for almost 40 hours (atm) is rediculous :eek: My eyes are hanging out so far they're just about doing the typing for me!
Never mind....hubby's home (usually in QLD for work) so I think I'll head back to bed after I've got the boys to school tomorrow and he can hang with Maddi (our daughter)
On a brighter note....I stayed up last night to try for a poster and got one - so YAY!
Did you get one, Jen?

WOW you are a bit crazy! I hope you get some rest tomorrow.
Congrats on the posters! Nah, I didn't try. I like posters but to limit myself I only buy them at shows I attended. I need to revamp/paint my room and I'll be moving in a year or so can't justify buying more posters. Some are wicked cool though so I wish I could!
Was there a particular mystery one you are hoping for?

oh the 'other' Aussie thread was just one that some fool started to stir us and nobody was posting in it.
But....I do see your point....but we shall just agree to disagree I think unless you're a part of one of those threads, ya wouldn't understand.
I wish they could have just moved us to AET.....we were originally on the Porch for about a year and then they moved us (a year ago) to GTF.
I think the threads that have been made as a 'home base' for the different countries is great and don't see why they're a problem???
and as far as us visiting the various forums....we all did......obviously un-noticed though :(
I really hope they DON'T shut any of the other similar threads down....I don't understand why we were singled out, but would hate to see it happen to any of the other countries.

Yep....wanted Hawaii. 7 of the 8 of us (in the old thread) going for a poster, got one and we all want different posters....so hopefully between all of us at least one of us will get what someone wants and can pass it on
You're moving?? are you staying in the same area....or is it a big move??
We might be making a big move to QLD at the end of the year....so excited, if it happens....but dreading the actual move.

Oh cool! That is a good idea.
How far away is QLD from ya? Yeah I HATE moving. But it is nice once you get settled. When will you know if you move for sure?
Yeah a big move. Possibly international; even if it isn't it will still be far. I have a list of places so I'm trying to narrow it down. It is hard though and I HATE making decisions!

i WAs a part of the london thread as i went to that gig...and i HAVe posted in an aussie thread and even the dublin thread i think, once. so i DO get what they are about. chatrooms. seriously, i posted in the london thread often enough before the show, and then of course a bit afterwards discussing the show...and then moved on b/c it served it's purpose for me, and yes, became a chatroom. and not that i mind a chat, but i hate having to scroll thru sooo much to find a comment or 2 that is of interest to me. overall, i am not a fan of the really long threads b/c after a time, can't keep up with the content - altho sometimes that's a good thing. haha.
as to your point, i agree in part anyway. nothing wrong with threads for countries, regions...altho of course the board is meant to be welcoming to all. however, beyond that, i would suspect the REAL reason is simply 'the board is not a chatroom'...it's not meant to be a place for people to simply BS endlessly with no focus. each thread is meant to have a semi-focused topic. i think it's great they all got to last as long as they did. so rather than lament the loss, look at the good run you had....and sure, can perhaps do something similar? dunno. it's just sad when people feel singled out, i am sure it's not meant to be the case.....it's just this is a message board and not an IM program i imagine. hell, it's a board about PEARL JAM, no?

OOH! I'll help ya....move to Australia!!
QLD is about as far away as you can get from here (within Aus). Not really sure when we'll know....expected to know a while ago.....the company hubby works for are waiting for confirmation on the next contracts. He's been working over there for a whil, but sometimes it's months before he gets time off to come home to us.....and with the 3 kids, it's just getting too much - they miss him sooooooo much when he's away :( So we decided if he has to go back for another contract, we're moving over with him
And the bonus is that I'll be closer to Sam, Wozz, Trudie and all the QLD peeps I miss them all so much!

Oh I'm not gonna dwell on it...don't worry Just miss having that base where I know I can catch everyone, if need to.....We're a very close group, who fly all over the country to catch up as often as possible and that's only become, because of that thread
But......as strange as it feels not having that base....i still have a lot of fun visiting the other forums and always (mostly) have.
I guess it's habit....login to the pit every morning and go straight to the Aus thread to see who's home..hehe......now we'll just have to hope we bump into each other now and then.

LOL Sorry but that's a big "NO" on moving to Oz. I'm sure it is lovely though
I'm going to visit Welly in a couple months because I'm really interested in moving to NZ, went to visit NY to check it out (and to see P), thinking maybe going back to Seattle, maybe Budapest, Boston, I'm kind of all over really. My heart belongs to Berlin but it is too hard for me to move back to Western Europe with visa issues.
OMG so you and your hubby are far apart from each other? That must be so hard with kiddies. :( My bro and his wife do that often because of their jobs (they just have to go where they are told to go, and it isn't always together) but they don't have kids, so when they do see each other it is a happy renunion. ewww that's my bro. :eek: Anyway...I hope the moving works out for you! I imagine your kids would love it. And being close to Sam and Wozz would be fun.

well ya know, do as we US folk do...start meet-up threads!
i have friends from all over the country AND all over the world...b/c of this board and band. also, being a NYer we have a pretty strong contingent of fans, and spread out to outlying areas.....so i did try to do a monthly thing, proved to difficult...but ever couple of months, new thread, new meet-up...tis all good! hey, even arranged one once around an aussie vist! actully now that i think about it....2 sperate meets for 2 different aussies....so we love ya here too.
now you have a broader base....all of us on the board.
I actually stayed up late last night and watch Anna McLellan win silver in the 100 m hurdles. Great stuff.

the original dream from sydney was awesome. but the other efforts, like the ice dream, and so on were crappy.
you need to put the radio on triple j at 4.30 every arvo for Roy and HG, they have been at their best i feel.
also, i'm glad channel 9 has the 2012 Olympics, hopefully they won't fuck it up like 7 has.
I was just thinking about Roy and HG's The Dream the other night and was wondering if they were coming back. I remember that was the best part about the Sydney 2000 Olympics ... staying up late to watch Fatso the wombat dive into the pool etc.

No, I meant Sally. I was half asleep when the race was on.
