Hey guys.. First up i dont really care if my posts get nuked or my account removed.. *shrug* Second up, this secrecy between QGL and thier members about what's going on is pretty lame. You know, us forum-participants might be able to help get QGL going, but I guess the admins don't want as much help as they can get.. Kinda sad that the 'customers' get left out of the loop. Anyone else feel the same way, see if we can band together and get something active done about a qgl.. I'm sick of waiting and soon i'm going to give up on them alltogether |

Idiot.
You think the admins don't want a QGL? Maybe we can just hold it in your backyard?? Or at Sizzler? Also: There ARE other lans in Brisbane if you really MUST attend one. Also: I know I shouldn't reply to this, but sometimes I just can't help myself. |

No, I think the admins want a qgl. I just don't think they want it as badly as the 500+ people who want to attend it.
I'm sure some QGL consumer's could probably help venue wise, or something. Maybe we could petition to ANZ/qld govt. or something. I'm just sick of sitting here doing nothing.. And because i hear nothing going on with admins, i assume nothing is happening on their end. If they can message me and honestly tell me they are trying, and a little of how they are trying, that's cool with me.. But i just feel left out of the loop and as an avid QGL'er that hurts me |

step into their shoes...
what would take a higher preference 1.) Earning enough money to FEED themselves and have somewhere to sleep 2.) Pass Uni Exams and not waste thousands of $$$ and time 3.) Host a lan for 350 grubby CS playing turds (other 150 are ok :D) |

If they are too busy doing other things to provide the service, why not start looking for other people to run the event!..same equip, same stuff, different admins. SIf there isn't a thousand good hard working honest people who wouldnt mind adminning for a day or two

By the sounds of your post, it's like you're going to boycott going to another qgl just because they are taking to long to organise the next lan.
What the f***? As others have said, there's plenty of other lans to go to. I really dont think you have the grounds to complain. |

Ok then Sheik, if you don't mind, admin a 500 person LAN for us.
Go for it. Call it Brisbane Gamers Lan or something. I guess I might turn up, if you organised it. Go book us somewhere with enough space and power at the right price, get us the hardware, do it all, and then we can have a nice big lan. |

I'd link the to the thread, but meh. QGL admins put out the call awhile back for people to give venue ideas.
You see they do tell people what is happening, but people dont like to listen.. |

they were going to have one at the end of this month but because ANZ were gonna do renovations they have to look for another venue. There's public liability insurance to worry about, food stuff, prize money, organising a venue around a time when no one with higher priority wants to use the same place at the same time.
Instead of giving up why don't you organise your own 400+ player lan? go on I'd really love to see you try. Go find a sponsor to lend you network equipment, a place that will hold 400 people & supply enough power to still be safe. Organise public liability insurance so if someone trips you don't get your ass pounded by lawyers. Please be my guest go right ahead. |

Theres nothing "secret" going on with QGL. We're not some clandestine covert group that is running some sort of cloak and dagger black ops thing that we want to keep hidden from everyone. There is just no dates/venues that are working out for us at the moment. Its being chased up, we're not sitting around doing nothing, and trust me, we're just as pissed off about there being no QGL for almost 6 months as everyone else is.
In the end it just comes back to when we know more, you'll know more. Sorry I can't offer you any more than that for the moment. Also, as for If they can message me and honestly tell me they are trying, and a little of how they are trying, that's cool with me.. But i just feel left out of the loop Respectfully, get stuffed. Contrary to popular belief, we do actually have better things to do than go around privately messaging each member of QGL and letting them know our every move. You're not left out of the loop, you're in the same loop as everyone else here, so get over it. |

Its been said before time and time again, s*** dude get a clue. Do you, for one minute have any idea what is involved in getting this type of s*** organised. A huge effort to even pull one off let alone every month or two, in their own time, sacrificing a weekend ect..
I havent been in a while due to other committments but often I saw admin guys go the two days without even getting a game in, dealing with tards, quelling riots, feeding the masses, then having to clean up the pigstye left for them at the end. Hats off to em all, I dont think I could face that on a regular basis. chill. |

I think they want to postpone the QGL because of the CS/BF1942 fights that will happen. They are probably waiting for CS to basically die so all the 13 year old randoms don't come.
I think I might go to a QGL actually - I'll give me mate Hunter a lift! If anyone on this board was ever to set up anything decent they would probably first look at the admin pages and email all of them for help because they have no clue. EDIT: 1001st post! |

The truth is that the QGL admins have been having private lans at ANZ stadium, where
- They have barbecues - Are allowed to trade pirate software - Have free jolt - may sleep there overnight - Run a small pro league amongst themselves this is the reality of what has happened to QGL and why none of us are invited to go anymore. |

While I don't agree with the private message thing it'd be nice to see an occasional official post about QGL. I know there are probably updates (like khel's) in the random "When is the next QGL" threads that pop up. But I must admit I don't read most of those threads :)
How about a monthly, official news post on the state of the QGL lan? Even if it's just to say, "Sorry guys. No change we're still trying and no we aren't dead." Might cut the number of gripes and stupid threads down? |

The truth is that the QGL admins have been having private lans at ANZ stadium, where [[ next qgl admin meeting ]] Trog: DAMNIT! Read these *hands out copies of posts from threads on the QGL forums, and much reading begins by the other admins*. Saint: He knows too much. We must dispatch the QGL Ninjas to remove this person from the planet before he spreads any more information, false or not. Khel: That's what we do anyway, isn't it? Trog: No! We do not do any leeching, sleeping, well, cyph does, but anyway, or run a pro league amongst ourselves. We do this all for the gamers! * 10 second pause as all the admins look at each other * All: hahahahahahahahahah, the gamers, that's a good one trog, ahhahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha [[ end qgl admin meeting ]] |

Hey guys.. First up i dont really care if my posts get nuked or my account removed.. *shrug*WOW! How tough are YOU? Did you go to SAS school or something? Second up, this secrecy between QGL and thier members about what's going on is pretty lame.We've told you everything - we've having problems with a venue. We can't help it if you don't keep up with the news. Kinda sad that the 'customers' get left out of the loop.I like the way you put 'customers' in quotes, its cool. We can't help it if you don't read the news. Hre is the post which gives a status update. i'm sick of waiting and soon i'm going to give up on them alltogetherthat'd be sad, cuz the next event will be pretty cool |
