FUCK RIGHT OFF!!!
I'm furious this matter wasn't discussed with Aus staff prior to posting

.
AusDD staff have fought long and hard to keep social chit chat out of our forum. It's no doubt one of the main reasons Aus DD is regarded as somewhat unique compared to the other regional forums; brown noise is kept to a minimum. If you want social, keep it to a social forum, simple as that!
Since you feel it's worth airing thoughts here MazDan, I'll just say I now view you in a completely different light. Not only is your post irresponsible, it's insulting, both to Aus DD and Aus social staff. I'm sure I also speak for a few other Aus DD regulars when I say if such an amalgamation ever did occur you wouldn't see me for dust! That's not a criticism of Klue, NickyJ or eggman, it's simply acknowledging each of the 2 local forums is differently focused.
You fail to mention anything about the quality of AusDD, how fucking dare you!!
