Sally D & Others....
Thu, 12 Jan 2006, 12:17 amSTOP 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!

Can't improve on Shannyn's response as far as the 'exclusivity' argument. The fact that this website is divided into sections makes it vaguely more useful as far as organising information and finding it again, but the truth is, many good conversations are posted in the 'wrong' forum, or they soon get branches which are considered off-topic. We actually did a poll a few years ago to try and determine which forums were read by the most users, and a large percentage of visitors browse everywhere. The majority also read most of the site, perhaps visiting 'tech talk' and 'theatre classifieds' less often.
It's hard to judge exactly how many people read the information here simply by counting the posted responses. It has become quite apparent that there is a huge pool of readers out there who don't necessarily contribute their own postings. And some of them come from quite respected positions in the arts community. We should all be aware that stray comments and attitudes may be noted by people we are likely to be employed by in future...
'Crap' is a value judgement, and is totally subjective. Anyone can have an opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion.
My personal opinion is: I'm happy with the outcome of this thread. I'm glad to have such an interest taken in the website by the students at WAAPA; if you guys can sift through my crap, I'm sure you'll find this site an invaluable resource, and I welcome your contributions. The discussion has opened out to include many more users of this site, and has become a damn 'site' more interesting. My work here is done.
A new topic of debate, Janty?....okay. Let's put it in a new thread.
Cheers,
Craig
