Sorry guys but it looks like I accidentally approved a few hundred accounts that are most likely spambots. I'll be deleting them slowly as they start to surface but in the meantime, I apologise for any crap you may start to see popping here and there.

Unfortunately though I want to completely update the forum software, I must confess that I no longer have full access to our server's backdoor. To be even more honest, I'm surprised that the Amvience website is still on the air. It's been a long time since I've actually paid for this server space and domain name and I believe it's only because we are part of a lump deal that keeps other websites going on the same server that we have been allowed to keep going.

We would like to keep maintaining this community here but in my opinion, perhaps it's time for us to start moving to our Amvience Facebook page. What do you guys think?

It's now open!

Right folks, the Manifest Iron Chef entry is closing this Monday. I'm right now going to apply myself in the hopes of defending my title from last year.

Reminder that the competition details can be found here: http://www.manifest.org.au/web/index.php/events/amv-iron-chef

I will also use this opportunity to just say thanks to everyone as this will be the last competition I will be entering. Win or lose, I think I've had a great run and I hope I've inspired enough that others out there will keep up the spirit of Australian AMV making.

So yes, join up! However Manifest runs this competition, let's at least make it memorable.
