at one point in our forums there was a large number of Australian members. So, much so that a large thread dedicated to just aussie members was created. It became one of the largest threads to ever exist on the boards for quite a while with over 5000 posts. It got so huge that the thread got locked, and a new one was started. Then for a while there was a separate board added just for the Australians. This killed all interest in it though, as the long meandering topic is more entertaining then several sub topics. Interest faded, and Aussies slowly left the boards. They declared themselves Pietriots mainly because someone made a joke that Meat Pies are not as prevalent in America as they are in the UK, and Australia.. and because Pie is fun to say. The Aussies also adopted a few non Aussies as honorary members. Notable members were Rabicle, Mario(aka Chris), Termina8Anikin, Piac, and Infernal Monkey, then there were friendlies like myself, Hostile Creation, Pro, KnowsNothing, Stevey, Bill, MouseClicker, and Nitsu. If i remember correctly.
Also, didn't we (BNM,EC,PRM,STOGI) have some sort of hilarious 70s funk sounding nickname?
