    And what's wrong with that? He's only passing on info to people who wrongly think its going to be all about bogans and sport. i've seen the ad on air, looks like it could be a good show.

    There's nothing wrong with that but it comes out as fake since it is not a known member who's posting the info but a newbie. Your entire reason for joining this site is to promote this agenda instead of why this forum exists in the first place.

    For those who are interested we even have a guy who has built a huge observatory in his front yard!

    Thankyou for taking an interest in our interest in your show. Please ignore all negative commentary as members of our community can have a very bruised mentality regarding their portrayal (or lack of portrayal) in mainstream media.

    I for one would like to see Man Caves that contain a healthy mix of interests from the 'bogan' to the 'geeky' and 'intellectual' to outright 'bonkers' as I believe most Australians fall somewhere inbetween in their interests rather than at the extremes.

    But please refrain from creating multiple accounts simply to defend and promote your show.

    If I had the energy I would load that gif of Heath Ledger as the joker doing the slow clap.

    Nothing is wrong with it.
    I was just posting an observation about marketing strategies using google to track what people think of Brands, Products and Programs, based on the random appearances of people here lately who aren't TFs fans. I was not commenting about the show at all in my post (re-read it)... and have made sure we have non-Transformers sections here to allow for people to talk about other things.

    That's not entirely true, and unfair. We encourage Transformers fans to join here, but don't reject people who join up for non-Transformers reasons (like Lego, MOTU, games, movies, TV, etc)... as long as they adhere to the rules.
    His posting was a response to our earlier comments, so it would be unfair to censor people from submitting an alternative view just because they aren't Transformers fans.
    As long as they don't spam the site, a rational commentary on their point of interest is okay, as previous opinions were just speculation. If a person working on a project knows better, then why not allow them to dispel false assumptions.
