I don't know why you are throwing away 3 years of google juice a good
domain name - but its your site do what you want with it.

I think they way you have described the discussion of the forums to be
very self serving and plain wrong. There has been lively debate
periodically, I have seen no flaming that you referred to. You also
seem to have completely ignored the compromise proposal by the most
vocal critics of the idea of having a forum. "I'm not trying to stir up
any further discussion on the idea", would that be because the
discussion might hold you accountable for your claims above?
I think the forum should be renamed as it is currently claiming to have
some connection to the LoCo. I would suggest '"Unofficial" Australian
Forum' is more accurate. Either way I won't be contributing to it.
Cheers
Dave
