UPSB v3
AusClan Forum / A Real AusPS Forum

Date: Mon, Jan 25 2010 05:50:11
For quite some time, people in AusClan have been wanting to become independent from UPSB. Not bc UPSB is a bad board but rather to encourage the Australian scene to grow and become more mature. Staying on UPSB can make us lazy, we tend to alright with posting only a few times a day as the rest of UPSB will always overshadow us. While UPSB is a gold mine of content and activity, having an independant board will let others in the World know we exist, and that we are hoping to impact the psning world in someway. (K IM OUT OF SPEECH MATERIAL HERE xD)
Plans for Australia include taking the initiative in creating a new tournament concept that will be "Commonwealth Games"
, and having more competitions and gatherings within Australia.
Chogoling has been able to find someone who would provide a us with some help:
"I've got a mate who is willing to host a forum for us on his local server or his other server (1.2 TB/month, 20GB disk space), and he is also willing to custom write the software for us. All he asks is that he receives some donations."
we'll need ur support in being active, and giving ideas for this to become a reality. thoughts thankyou. -

ZOMBO DONT KILL US

i'll take the liberty in continuing neo's speech
By splitting away from UPSB, with such diversity and sheer numbers of pen spinners, it can also allow Australian spinners to be more recognised and participate more in tornaments. Like other European communities, such as BPSC, it allows the spinners to not be included in a UPSB team, they will be able to participate as "Belgian" spinners, increasing both the chance of representation for their community, and also new participants.
Although this may seem like a thinning of spinners over more communities, it will no doubt increase the amount of spinners, not only membership wise, but participation wise. With such a large community, as that of UPSB, many members will sign up, but a large percentage will be overwelmed by the vastness of the community, and cease to participate after the first few days. Creating another community will enable to nurture new spinners, through better participation in the board.
Ofcourse, UPSB does provide a vast and rich source of information, especially to new spinners. And this information can be utilised to its full extent in a new board and community, by providing links to UPSB forum topics, such as pen modding and trick threads. The vice versa can also be implemented, new ideas for tricks and mods can be fed back into UPSB through the community's members posting on UPSB.
The implementation and formation of a new community for Australian pen spinners will no doubt not only encourage the growth of pen spinning in the country, but will also assist the expansion of pen spinning itself
ok, i'm tapping out
if anyone wants to take over, fire away
and in regards to chogo's post:
ZOMBO, WE'LL PROMISE TO VISIT AND WRITE OFTEN!!!!
i like this idea, most of what i like about it is written in my block-o-text -

In addition to the WC/WT issue, as australia will not probably not have a good enough team for maybe 2-3 years, the elite of australia can always participate on the upsb team.
A new forum will also allow us to have detailed posts on issues concerning australians, e.g. where to find pens inplace. -
Date: Mon, Jan 25 2010 10:22:17
sounds like it might work. when are you guys looking at getting this board established???
-
Date: Mon, Jan 25 2010 12:28:46
id also like to add the possibility of fusing with the NZ people. its a double edged sword here, while we then wont have our own
"Australian" board AUS and NZ are very close (ive met a bunch of them ^^) and i feel that the joining should give more food for thought.
with a fused community, we will then have enough ability ...to maybe even participate in the WT and WC as a joined team. NZ has some very skilled, active, and growing spinners.

wtf, I joined that?

I don't really think that a seperate board is a bad idea, but if it isn't done right then it probably won't last.
There will not be a great deal of active members so contributions to posts won't be incredibly high, at least not as high as on UPSB. If there aren't many posts being made there won't be much momentum and I fear that motivation/morale would decline and the board would be dead.
Also, to encourage using an Australian Pen Spinning board, members should have an easy-a-ride as possible. Asking them for donations is just going to piss them off and probably make them not want to come back (let's be honest, until we get a lot of members they won't be missing much by foregoing using the board).
I personally think that going for an IRC server might be a better option. All Australian members are within 3 hours of each other (4 hours for AUS/NZ) so it should be fairly active at certain times (weeknights and such), while still having UPSB as the main board. Not to mention that an IRC server should be undoubtedly easier to do than a forum, and so should not require (m)any donations.
I personally don't mind which it is, just please make sure that it is well thought out before you do anything. There isn't much point in creating something that is doomed from the start. Yes, it's probably harder for the Australian community to grow while a part of UPSB, but we are still are pretty young community. Three years ago there was probably less than five active Australian Spinners. -

Hey guys, not many people know me... im a newb ass spinner... anyways. i like the idea of our own board.. and uh... yeeaaaahhh anyways. i dunno what to say but hmm.... i like the idea anyways im out. peace
Avenger71
ps. i like dots o.o .... -
Date: Wed, Jan 27 2010 02:55:07
i like dots too lol
on topic... do we really need a board? its not like people are going to find us in australia coz they googled "australian pen spinning board" before just "pen spinning board"... i say if we cfan get a free board then thats good... if not theres not enough reason -
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 00:03:14
we should have a vote.
-
Date: Thu, Feb 4 2010 10:47:14
a jolly good idea chap
but i dont think it'll go anywhere anytime soon
chogo's gonna hide in his little hole, i'm planning on doing the same (maybe coming out to play every so often)
i'm sure others in their final year of school would like that as well
so, i think if it is going to be implemented anytime in the future, it would be after schoolies week
i say yes, if we can find a few more spinners and near the end of this year
recruitment for each state??? -
Date: Thu, Feb 4 2010 19:06:03

SDU is pretty cool
whats important in a name:
the initials sounds good, dont make it generic like *PSB or *PSC or *PSA
if possible avoid the letters P and S altogether
i also like communities there's not only initial but a nickname
example: THPSC (initials), ThaiSpinner (nicknamE), Thailand Pen Spinning Community (real name) -
Date: Sat, Feb 6 2010 03:04:27
Smart Mr. Zumbo =)
-
Date: Sat, Feb 6 2010 03:39:48
problem with SDU is that it has a connotation being from Hong Kong
