STOP FILLING UP THIS FORUM WITH CRAP! Why don't you and your aspiring waapa friends get your own mailing list and email each other this rubbish?? This website and it's forums are meant to be about theatre around australia not all your dribble it's just wasting space! By all means live in your fantasy world, but do it somewhere else! Nobody cares and we don't want want to see it filling up our screens! So go somewhere else - l feel sorry for your lecturers this year, i hope you settle down once you arrive!

Sooner or later I had to chime in to this debate:

This raises a very interesting point. Whilst a lot of what WAAPA people have posted on this site has been educational for people going into first year. As it does give them a genuine feel for the place and what kinda things go on there, however I can understand that people that are not involved in WAAPA and have no desire to ever be involved (ie are not future prospective students) may find it irritating. As over the last few months we have hijacked this particular forum.

I must admit at WAAPA we do engage in a large amount of banter, not only is it entertaining, it is a way of constantly keeping your imagination fresh, increasing your vocabularly and a good excercise in lateral thinking. Kind of like debating a useless topic just for the intellectual exercise. So with us all spread around the country and not living in each others pockets as usual, we have to find new ways of keeping our banter up.

As we do live in a market driven, capitalist society the increase in WAAPA activity on this site may possibly be a good argument for adding a new forum classification in which people that weren't interested wouldn't have to wade through the pages of babble we leave for them. Just an idea, anyone know how we go about petitioning this?

There is also the other debate, which is: If your not interested, don;t read it. But I do see both sides.

Hope your all well.
