They accidentally let free emails be used. They've fixed it now.

Existing accounts using free emails are fine. All new ones need to be paid email.

Honesty today I spent like $100 through Squarespace setting up a domain and email. Not *specifically* for ERA, but it is what finally pushed me into doing it

Anyway I am now the proud owner of hotdogmoney.biz

Maybe we need a (slightly more tasteful) version of that survey thing we used to do? I mean in some ways it was obnoxious, but that dude in the GAF thread said we don't talk much to new people, which is odd considering that in peak survey days it felt like we fawned over new folk a little too much.

Edit: Holy shit, rep beat me to it.

I think if you just ask:

Is it a potato cake, or a potato scallop?
Is it a sausage in bread, or a sausage sandwich?
To kill a spider do you use fire, or fire?

You'll learn everything you need to know about any new Strayan TBH.

Once AlcoERA get up and running we should put links up to the big communities in the OP to help direct people to the new homes. Hoping to get involved in more than just Wrassle this time round after burning out on the forum before then.

Need a poll on Bunnings sausages too this is an outrage!

Got 100/40 NBN installed on Monday. Over lunch I tested streaming Shovel Knight from my PC at home to play on my phone using Moonlight. It worked pretty damned well!

Going back up to 100/40 recently was pretty awesome.

Steam flies.

Even Xbox and PS4 downloads are quick.

About bloody time.

The real question is whether the Bunnings sizzle or Democracy Sausage tastes best.
Lot to think about here.
On the one hand a Bunnings sausage is both expected (as they do them every weekend) and unexpected (because you usually forget on the odd occasion you run to Bunnings for supplies).
On the other hand a Democracy sausage hits your taste buds just after you've had a wave of euphoria after undertaking your civic duty. Aside from when you end up at an un-Australian outlet who FORGOT OR DIDNT CARE ENOUGH TO ORGANISE THA SIZZLE.
