We're moving the Funhouse to pietriots.com
« on: June 01, 2007, 10:09:53 PM »
Ahahahahaha, now that I have your attention, the title is a lie.

Pietriots.com is a venture started by the Aussies that you know and love from NWR (well, the cool ones, the others aren't around anymore). We reminisce about the failure that was the Aussie thread every day, and we've been scheming from the day that thread died to create a domain where we can post whatever we want. The Aussie board was fine for a while but now we're looking to venture into the domain of shenanigans and ribaldry.

Its currently being run off my internet connection so if you hit it hard enough I reckon it will fall over. Trust me, its very easy to throttle an Aussie connection - the kangaroos can only run so fast when they've got packets in their pouch. If you guys are interested in interacting with us on a regular basis (we've got a lot of ideas to unveil, most of which will be posted directly on the site rather than this thread) then post here and let us know. Currently we can't be bothered with opening up the place to your Joe Gas Station users but if there is enough interest then we're more than happy to bring on the masses.

I'll give you guys a bit of a teaser: the Pokemon Tour is heading  around Australia in early July. Yes, a NAL event. As rare as it is (four years - Termin8 covered it), it certain is a controversial event. Well, there's not as much snaking, but you know what I'm talking about. Like that guy who pulls out an ice move on the hope of freezing and pulls it off. Yeah, that kind of bullshit.

So that is our venture. Initially it is not going to compete with the likes of NWR (lawl we don't want to moderate forums) or GoNintendo (we don't want to be bearded baldies and have no life at all) or even IGN (although I still want to punch Cam Shea in the face - oops, Aussie joke). But we're going to have some fun with it - talking about things other than games is definitely on the cards.

PS: I'm aware of the rules regarding advertising. But considering I'm not some sort of fly-by-night poster and that the Pietriots are better than any of the other spammers that have frequented recently (except for Garmin guy, he wasn't from here but he was highly amusing!). So do your worst, because the cost-benefit analysis I did for this post over a few beers indicated there was nothing to lose!

EDIT:

In my wisdom I didn't even add in a link to click. What's up with that? Its been fixed right here

And I expect the other Pietriots to come out endorsing this site, maybe they'll tease you further with information. Or maybe not!

So far I've gotten Infernal, Mario (Grubdog), RABicle, Hybrid Hunter and Termin8Anakin involved with this in some way. Others are on the way.

We've been very busy at the moment (first semester is wrapping up about now) so perhaps after that we'll actually be able to seriously post.

EDIT: that reminds me, Infernal is probably working on his first article for the site right now. And you'll love it.

Haven't spoken to the rat since he got banned. He's not coming anywhere near the site design. Its for the greater good.

Takin' over the internet. It's gonna be a lot of fun guys, no internet drama'zzz on Pietriots! Unless you like the PS3 I guess. But yeah, it might take a little while to get into full swing. I have a competition sort of planned in my noggin already. Win! Useless crap!

Your side bar fonts end to be larger. I may have lasers for eys, but come on man. Macguyver would need to rig something to read it.

As a quasi-pietriot, I have to ask. Why .com, not .com.au. Speak up man!

.com.au costs more. And besides, we're aiming for world domination. Name me a .com.au domain that has conquered the world!

To register a .com.au you have to have an Australian BUSINESS registered. I'm serious.

I need a login so I can ask what it means to "rock up".  I must know.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Errr. You got me there...

Are we going to get any stories that involve

A: (projectile) vomit?
B: Really bad dates?
C: Bedlam and Mayhem?
D: Carpet Burns?
E: Fuzzy, wet moments of terror?
F: Fail.
G: All the above.

Heh, I think we might need an Aussie-to-American translator, especially for the kind of entries that I normally do.

So a pietriot is one of a select group of Australian posters.  I feel like I'm getting closer to uncovering the mystery.  Now please tell me, is that pie as in "pie are round" + patriot, or some kind of heathen French?
