Pinkboard
When Pinkboard moved to the Internet almost 15 years ago there was very little here for the Australian gay and lesbian community. Pinkboard became very popular by becoming the place for the GLBT community. I rode this popularity into the 3rd millenium. Then businesses moved in and their sites also became popular. Many of these provided similar services to Pinkboard.
The net has also moved significantly in those 15 years. Most of the sites we use today were not around then: Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. We now have Web 2.0 and iPhones which allow us to be online in ways we could not imagine even 5 years ago.
It's time for Pinkboard to evolve. It's time to shed some old services and create some new ones. It's time to refocus.
Pinkboard Personals, Classifieds and Adult Classifieds will be closing at the end of March, along with AO@P. You can still join.
Pinkboard Wiki
Pinkboard Wiki is a new section on Pinkboard. I hope it will become the place for people to find out about everything GLBTQ in Australia. Please browse what is there and help to build on this to create a truly great repository of knowledge about our community.
So far it contains venues, awards, a few people and community organisations. Please help this list to grow.
Graffiti
The last graffiti posted is on Mardi Gras Graffiti Wall 2010 #2Yet the majority of comments demonstrate a terrible level of apathy and lack of appreciation for what they have.I have been coming from Berlin in Germany every year for the last 4 years and for me it's Gay nirvana. I'm very saddened by the sour comments of some of these people.
