IMO its ok to post this sort of stuff if people are going to talk about ("Hey, i think they should name the tiger cubs ____ and ____") But if its purely for informing others than it is not really necessary since everyone gets the DW newsletter (or can easily sign up if they want to find out about DWs offers etc) or can visit the DW website themselves. I know you mean well, but its not really needed by anyone. Edited April 22, 2007 by Gazza

If you don't like the threads Gazza simply don't read them. I personally don't receive the Newsletter and don't check the DW website so his posts are informing me of stuff, granted I could sign up for the newsletter but he's not hurting anyone by posting so let the guy be. If you don't like it, don't read it, simple.

Dude get a life and chill out will ya When you make a thread you don't know if anyone will post. Also who cares if it's the same as the web site. I don't go to the web site unless it's nearly time for my trip or if i want some info. 99.99% of my DW information is from the newsletter. EDIT : Did you really need to copy the whole post?

I thought I was being reasonable and diplomatic though, its not like I was getting agro or insulting, just giving my thoughts.

Also who cares if it's the same as the web site.

well one individual is http://www.dreamworld.com.au/content/stand...?name=Copyright

EDIT : Did you really need to copy the whole post?

Yes because I was showing that people can just read it off the website so it doesnt need to be copied and pasted here as a slab.

granted I could sign up for the newsletter

Why dont you? In the past you have commented on the high cost of living at present, and defended (quite rightly) those in search of discounts. Since the newsletter often contains discounts it would be useful for you to recieve. My logic is that if people dont frequent the DW website and arent signed up to the newsletter, then they wouldn't particularly care about what DWs offers are, hence they wouldnt really be interested in the same stuff being copied onto here either.

he's not hurting anyone by posting so let the guy be.

Well, people have found it annoying, does that count?

If you don't like it, don't read it, simple.

Thats a bit like saying e-mail spam is ok in your inbox because if you dont like it you dont have to read it. I just dont see why the forums need to be an extension of DW Rulz's email account and we need to get every single thing that arrives in there about BB or DW or whatever copied straight on to here, i mean, write something of your own.

I'm not signed up to the newsletter because my brother and sister are so whatever discounts they send out in them I'll still get them but I haven't bothered with them because DW Rulz posts the updates here so it saves my inbox from more stuff and it saves me time checking the dw site. Every time he writes something of his own you usually come in and say it's either too short or it's just crap any way. He can't really win with you so he may as well post something that others will read. Maybe people don't want to sign up for the newsletter because they already have enough junk in their email as it is? maybe it's just easier to come into his threads since said person is already on this site? Forums were invented to chat, chatting is done by posting, posting is what he is doing. Lighten up. Next you'll be complaining that he shouldn't have what suburb he is from because it's not safe to do so online. So let's get this topic going since you said it's ok to post these type of thing's if there is some chatter about it...what do you think they should call the cubs, Gazza?

What about Willsy?

Well then dont post crap! Also your exaggerating a bit there, I mean its good when he writes trip reports or insights/tips from his knowledge of the parks. I havent said anything for ages.

Maybe people don't want to sign up for the newsletter because they already have enough junk in their email as it is? maybe it's just easier to come into his threads since said person is already on this site?

Well, you proved my point just then. You said people might find these extra offers as more junk to put up with, well having them here is just junk all over again. Also, I think this is all a bit hypocritical, someone posted about the Starburst BB competition and the first thing DW rulz said was that "This is old, its already been on behindBB etc...", well right here he is doing the same thing by copying stuff you can easily already get.

So let's get this topic going since you said it's ok to post these type of thing's if there is some chatter about it...what do you think they should call the cubs, Gazza?

Well, I'm hoping for something people can relate to fairly easily. Too often you find out zoo animals get given this pretentious sounding exotic name, so something a bit more conventional would be a nice change.

this competition has ended and they have taken it off the dreamworld website, yet it doesnt say anywhere who won. i guess well find out soon. did anyone enter it?

[Gold Coaster]

yep, I put some pretty good suggestions in so am crossing my fingers

[Richard]

The first cub's name was announced last week - Indah. The second will be announced on Friday when The Wiggles perform at Dreamworld.

[rob]

its been nearly a week since they announced the second tiger cub's name. does anyone know what the second name is????

[Richard]

The second is called named Rahni. Both names are derived from Sumatran/Indonesian words, as an appropriate homage to their native habitat.
