Pinkboard - 10 years on the Internet

Pinkboard isn't just me and a few volunteer helpers. It is also the thousands and thousands of people who have surfed, browsed, read, graffitied, advertised, replied and contributed to Pinkboard over the last 19 years; on Viatel, as a BBS and on Internet. This includes you!

I think 10 years is a great reason for a celebration! (Surely you can't be thinking about another party this soon after Mardi Gras?) So that's the first task of this wall: to determine how we should celebrate. Do we want a cocktail party? Do we want dancing? Do we want a BBQ or picnic? Or do you have another idea? Where should we have it? Pinkboard is in Sydney but reaches much further, so how do we include the rest of the Pinkboarders!

I have also started putting together a history of Pinkboard. If you have memories to share please post them here.

HOORAY

YAY YAY !!!

10 years ago mobile phones were huge, heavy & analogue, the internet was only dialup, email was just starting to really take off and it would still be another year until we’d hear of the Spice Girls…

While everyone has their own opinion of how Pinkboard should work, Panther’s obviously doing something right if it’s still here after all these years. (Does anyone else remember Viatel?!)

I vote for a lavish Pinkboard Party including a huge selection of free cocktails & nibbles served to us by international superstar celebrities.

In lieu of that option, how about Sunday afternoon cocktails and music somewhere outdoors and different?

Keep on keeping on Panther!

I think a Pink Party or a afternoon Picnic somewhere would be good, something different and unusal other than the norm

I first logged onto pinkboard in the pre-web days when I was living in a regional area and just coming to terms with my sexuality (using a different name that I probably don't want to own up to...) . It was a window to a world I had no other access to.

I can still remember the murmers of "why would you move pinkboard from a bulletin board to a web page? No-one uses the world wide web..."

Pinkboard means many different things to many different people - thats the beauty of it.

Sunday picnic in a park - perhaps centennial? - sounds like a fab idea - pink flags..? Hampers, wine, friends..

Sounds like a fun afternoon.

It was hard posting to Pinkboard at first. I was sure everyone would jump down my throat and tell me off for being a newby. It's been great to have a place to share party and other experiences, both good and not so good, because its fun to share that excitement with other people, and see what they liked too. Thankfully Panther and moderators managed to catch the cranky posts I've sent out, because I usually regret them as soon as I hit send (yes, there were some).

Oh. And the gossip. Love the gossip a lot.

Congrats to Panther for Pinkboard! You know, how about SLPA throw you a party on the 21st of May? How about we call it, oh, I dunno, Inquisition 13? Hehehe! Seriously, if there's flobbing about on a rug in a park to be done, I'm your girl.

But don't forget Neal.
Evil Twin - Wed 16 Mar 2005 01:08:57

I've been coming to Pinkboard for many years now, long before I started working in the industry and it's always been a funspot to catch up on gossip and even meet new friends.

As for the celebration, either the club night or the picnic sounds good to me.
shanobear - Wed 16 Mar 2005 05:25:10

The idea of a Pink Picnic sounds so good me and the boyf would fly down to Sydney for it.

Also glad you're doing a history of Pinkboard...hope this will include some of the more controversial episodes which were very serious at the time but now make me laugh at the memory - wonder how many of today's pinkboarders know, for instance, that several years ago wads of posts were printed out and tendered as evidence in a certain court trial???
MVR - Wed 16 Mar 2005 12:05:17

I didn't realise this place had been going for so long. I've only been pinkboarding for a couple of years, but I've read through some of the previous year's graffiti walls and had a bit of a chuckle
Murray H - Wed 16 Mar 2005 12:17:00

I'd love to see a "Worst of Pinkboard" awards, especially in the following categories:

* Bitchiest comment
* Most relentless self-promotion by a DJ or other 'professional'
* Most badly disguised anonymous post by a promoter
* Most off-topic post
* Most overdone argument (eg. sex spaces at dance parties)

All nominations should, of course, be anonymously posted.

There should be a three-person judging panel, including Panther (of course), Evil Twin and Media Watch's new host, Liz Jackson.

The judges decision will never be final and much correspondence will be entered into.

But seriously, this little place on the web is needed in this town, keep up the (mostly) good work everyone!

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement!

Although I haven’t met you in person (hope to, one of these days!) you’ve always struck me as a person who is genuinely committed to making a meaningful contribution to our Community. The gay Community could do with a few more Panthers!

And on the occasions that you enter into a debate, I’ve always found your comments to be considered, fair minded and articulate - which demonstrates that it IS possible to debate the ISSUES without making it personal and being bitchy.

So I just wanted to say a big “THANK YOU, PANTHER!” for the commitment, passion and expertise you put into this great Community facility.

BRAVO, baby!
jeffgg - Thu 17 Mar 2005 12:49:36

Being one of West Australians gay boys to escape Perth to Sydney in the mid nineties I can say that Pinkboard was one of the ways I made a lot of new friends in what can be quite a scary city for new comers.

Keep up the good work and see you in another 10 years!

How about us lesbians....?

'And the lesbians straight flatmate......"

Please aiden, staging something at Arq is just inappropriate. To many contributors have had a baaaad time there. Pinkboard is sooo much more. I vote for a drinks in the park / beach / more appropriate neutral ground.

Upstairs at the Newtown even. Lets take pinkboard off Taylor square for the day!!!!

somewhere outdoors for the celebration would be good. although i'm not one of them some people have kids plus some of the contributors aren't yet 18. just a thought..
Z - Wed 23 Mar 2005 13:23:41

If we dont defend our territory it will be lost forever. This is a community event that could help remind everyone who we are and what part of sydney they need to be tolerant of us in.

There has been an alarming increase of hompphobic activity around Taylor square in recent months. Thats *exactly* why we should be out there in large numbers. ..and in PINK
- Thu 24 Mar 2005 14:31:26 Replies: 1

Reading through all the graffiti above I think the people wanting a party outnumber those who preferred a picnic by just a little bit. What I propose is to have a party this year, because it is a very special number, and next year to start an annual Pinkboard picnic.

So the next task is to start planning the actual celebration!

I have received offers from some venues who could be interested in hosting the event. Locations are in the Oxford St area and elsewhere.

Also a few people have volunteered to help with organising. If anyone else would be interested in helping please email me ASAP and we will get together really soon to start working it out.

One of the scary things about this party is that I am going to have to reveal myself to everyone.

Watch this space for more news.

I suggest we celebrate 10 years of pinkboard by directing a new image.
Gay is now very mainstream , lets gey away from the image of silly leather hats and men dressed up in drag, and move on to the majority of what is happening out there, just nice gay relationships and freindships , just like the sitcom queer eye for the straightguy.

Re: Mon 18 Apr 2005 10:47:30
BWHAHAHAHA! Yes, my life is totally like Queer Eye... NOT! I think the Queer Eye boys are perpetuating stereotypes just as out there as your drag and "silly leather hats".

And for the record, my leather hat is certainly not silly!

I'd much rather celebrate the diversity of the GLBTQI community, rather than project a safe and non threatening image of heteronormative conformity (ew. I can't believe I said that. too much drinking with gender studies students. sorry).
Evil Twin - Mon 18 Apr 2005 12:14:44

I respect diversity , but lets not dwell too much on the silly leather hat brigade that represents the 70's image of a very small group of gays , how about something for the majority of gays , mainstream gays.
have a look at the website Fridae.com a singapore gay web site , that tackles equality issues , film ,dining, venues, fashion , regional travel etc.

Re: Mon 18 Apr 2005 13:49:43
Hey, you're the one who bought up the hats in the first place. What have you got against hats? What makes you think Panther's party will be all 70's anyway? Panther's a groovy cutey and I'm sure whatever celebration eventuates will have his own special touch of class and panache (and rightly so!).

Perhaps if you'd like to celebrate your "mainstream gays" you could have a lovely tupperware party around the BBQ in your suburban home's backyard for all your monogamous straight acting gay coupled friends. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

As for that website, yeah? And? If you'd marched in this years Mardi Gras you would have noticed the very high percentage of Asian tourists lining the streets. I asked heaps of them why they were here to watch, because I was curious about their reactions "We have NOTHING like this home! It's so exciting! So out there!" Some were gay, some were straight.

So me, I'd much prefer to celebrate with leatherfolk, queens, bi's, butches, trannies, bears, queers, dykes, and the whole alphabet of GLBTQI X Y and Z! I guess not only respecting diversity, but wallowing it

You guys have got right off the track, this board is to suggest ways to celebrate 10 years of pinkboard, and all i suggested is that add or change pinkboard slightly to provide useful stuff for mainstream gays as well as the small percentage of 70's style ones(and i am not knocking those ones either)just add some more things like the fridae site ,news , travel , dining , venue guides , fashion and leave the other stuff there

Pinkboard Party at Arq 20th May
I am happy to announce that the Pinkboard Party has been booked for Arq on Friday 20th May. Arq have been fabulous in offering to host the night and ensuring it will be something to remember. We will be starting early to encourage those who would not normally venture out and those who need to prepare for Inquisition. We are currently organising DJs and entertainment. I hope to see you all there, and bring your friends.

Watch this space for further details.

Re: Re: PINK
I've been looking at this board for a few days, but there hasn't been much activity. Subsequently, every time I look at this board, I re-read the last posting made.

I take personal offence to your ridiculous remark. As a DJ from ARQ, you are implying that my music is not good. I'm sure most of the other ARQ DJ's would also take offence, as you are implying that their music is also not good.

To cement just how ridiculous your remark is, I think you will find that some, if not many, of the DJ's booked for the birthday are either regular ARQ DJ's or have played at ARQ for special events.

You are entitled to your opinion, and if the current ARQ line-up does not cater to your tastes, that's fine. But please don't imply that my music, or that of the other DJ's is not good. There are plenty of people who do go to ARQ who like the DJ's there.

I'm sure that you didn't mean to insult anyone, at least I hope you didn't, but it just goes to show that people don't think before they write. Have a little consideration and think about how your comments may be insulting someone before posting them. Wording is everything and a single word can be the difference between a post taken seriously, and one that is disregarded as pot-stirring.

Re: Re: PINK
Jake, I can't help but feel you sometimes read posts about DJ's too defensively. This isn't the first time you've felt the need to get something off your chest.

I read the post "Cant wait to finally hear some good music at Arq!", as being offhand enthusiasm for the Pink Party being held at ARQ, rather than deriding 'resident' DJ's there -- particularly as the Pink Party will be on a Friday night which has no real regular format.

Having said all that, it is surprising that you're not part of the lineup, but that may well be due to your other committments perhaps? You certainly rate in the group of DJ's who "are regular contributers to Pinkboard".

Apart from the obvious (Pink herself), how about Freeway Of Love by Aretha Franklin. It has the line about a pink cadillac in it and I just love Aretha Franklin

Dear Panther

So wish I could be there partying with all you lovely people tonight, but alas can't get out of a prior engagement.

Met my first boyfriend through a Pinkboard add many years ago, and even won one of Pinkboard fabulous T shirts in a competition a few years ago.

Congratulation Everyone and have a great night.

Cheers Mitch

arrgghhh!!...

I still dont have anything pink to wear... I was telling my partner last night that I wanted to wear pink. He just looked at me, went very quiet then burst out lughing... How rude. Never fear - I will find something pink today...

See you all tonight

Re: Thank You
Just wanted to give a very big THANK YOU to Panther for all his hard work both with the party and with Pinkboard itself. Also congratulations to everyone who helped organise the party. ARQ was looking great on friday night indeed.

I had a sensational time at the party both in and out of the dj booth and enjoyed meeting so many Pinkboarders. Also really enjoyed catching up with Murray, Dan and Brad (unfortunately I missed out on seeing Luke).

Also enjoyed the shows from both Portia and Shauna Jensen, lots of fun and very entertaining.

Overall a really fun night and one more huge Thank You to Panther and ARQ (Michael in particular) for giving me the chance to play there.

It was such a camp and fun night, had a great time. My friends are still talking about it. Thanks Panther and Michael for throwing the party, and to Shane, Dan and Brad. It was a pleasure to work with you all

PS Someone please remind me never to run around with a pink sequin cowboy hat after a few beers (cheap drunk).

It should be noted that Panther managed to arrange a party that no one has bitched about afterwards!

Is this a Pinkboard first? ROFL

What A Blast!
What a great opportunity to turn ARQ pink for a night. It was a lot of fun working with Shanobear and Murray, and Panther had the place decked out to a 'T'.

Looking forward to the next 10 years!
