Another former TAAU member here (in case my user name didn't give it away already :p)
I got out of collecting for a while and when I came back to it, TAAU had closed. It was a shame because I had made some good friends there back in the day.
I skulked around TFW2005 for a little while, but I missed being part of the Aussie community. So I searched out Ozformers and lurked for a while. Then finally signed up and haven't looked back. :)
I found Ozformers just by Googling "Transformers Forum" as there seems to be a forum for just about anything. Ozformers was around the top of the results.
i was looking for CW items online, ended up following a thread listing Oz resellers, and lo and behold, ended up registering to share my local sightings.
Wow 20 years.... Shite congrats Ozformers
Well in an anniversary of sorts for this thread thought I'd do a shameless bump for the new members. Just nice to see how you found your way this bastion of nerdiness.
I can't honestly remember, was so long ago. Possibly because through a google search and discovered it around the same time as the convention
Back when various toy stores broke the street date for the AOE toyline, I needed to find out if it were possible for me to get something. Thanks to the Vic sightings, I managed to get all of the Wave 1 deluxes at Chadstone. When I got back on the website, I noticed that one of the members (I think it was Paulbot) posted about an "excited teenager" who walked away with one of each deluxe. I assumed it was about me, since I was pretty hyped to get those deluxes earlier than intended. It actually influenced me to join the community.
With that aside, I was busy over the years but it wasn't until now that I decided to join Ozformers, and I'm glad I did :)
I voted "other"... :p

Plus it's a pretty exceptional board/forum/community. Most forums seem to descend into cliques, regular s**tfights, and/or showcases for general awfulness, but OTCA usually manages to stay decent, respectful, and welcoming/accessible to new members. It's a hard balance to maintain -kudos as ever to Griff and the mods.:)
Was contacted by Griffin way back in 1996 I think and received the old paper newsletter he distributed. He got my name from Belinda (does she still participant in TF fandom?), a Queenslander I knew from a Transformers MUSH I used to play in (I can't remember what MUSH even stands for anymore). MUSH's and MMUDS etc, were text based roleplaying platforms.
Long time no see, dsaint! What did you think of the Wonder Woman movie? :D
Hi Goktimus
The Wonder Woman movie was "ok". Audiences are so conditioned to take in so much crap these days, that when a movie is merely mediocre, they come off as champion pieces of film.
My main problem with the DC films is the length which is never properly utilised (almost 3 hours for BvsS!), ponderous scripts and bad writing.
Having said that, it was a step above DC' other output.
Really, really like Spider-Man Homecoming.
What do others think?
Someone told me about this site. It was dirge. It was when I attended the Toy convention back then.. 2006(?) at Wharf8 in the city. Found out about that one while I was looking at ebay for G1 toys to buy. Stumbled onto Griffin's listing of white Astrotrain which had info about it. Lucky I was on day off. I came to the venue so early, the organizers havent even finished setting up the display. So I went to the nearest doughnut shop to have brekie first then cane back first in line.. dirge was manning (or rather was forced to) the front accepting the entrance fee and giving the freebies (vhs copy of TF:The Movie - which is grainy as hahahah) . Bought a lot of TFs that day and went home happy. Dirge at one point there chatted me up and told me about the forum and I did so when I got home and went online.. I just chatted with everyone immediately. Didnt even then made an intro thread (prolly shouldve) ..lol
Punched into my SatNav. And ended up here.
