What's up with the aussie avatars?
Gather round wee ones, and I'll tell ye a story. A magical story, about the invaders and the resistance, that stretches way back to the dawn of this forum.
Originally, this thread was our own little place, for us Australian Nintendoists to chat, bitch and gloat - the same as anyone else. However, this thread was because the Australians only really understood what had been happened. Hell, NOAus doesn't know what's happening here half the time.
So, the small troop of Aussies continued to post, discuss and rant, and as time went by, others joined in our bad humour and the thread grew.
Now, this thread is beyond our control. Tis sad, I know. But the ugly head of spam has reared its head, and we do not have the hit points or magic weaponry to fight it.
This thread will live on, unless the moderators decide to lock it, but us original Aussies do not like the thread anymore, mostly because it does not serve its purpose.
The avatar is just a way of identifying that group, without the need for elitist threads like the Aussie thread.
