Please note the status of the next QGL event has been changed on the front page of the QGL site to 'unknown'. ANZ Stadium have contacted us and informed us that due to some maintenance and construction they have scheduled for the next six months, they are currently unable to guarantee us any dates on which we can safely run events.

As a result, we are currently looking at alternate venues. The first on the list is the Sleeman Sports Complex out at Chandler, which we'll be investigating this week.

We will be trying to maintain the same date regardless of the venue, but as yet we are unable to confirm the date until we're satisfied about the venue.

Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused to anybody. It is a hassle for us too, because it means adapting to a new venue when we don't particularly want to due to other things that might be going on around the same time. Anyway, stay tuned for updates; as soon as we've got a venue and a date, we'll publish it on this very site.

Thats ok, I can live with that, we know you guy's rock.

It'd be great if you could organise it on a date after the weekend of the 28th/29th as there is still uni exams going on on that saturday.

Looks a little damp....

Scuzzy, a) you were not invited, b) sif you goto lans anyway :p c) aids

as long as there is a qgl, im 100% sure people wont care :D where it is :D

well if its maybe going to be at Sleeman Sports Complex, its down the road from me.

w00t party at sphinx's that nite :D, also if needed i could possibly provide the drink side of things so that qgl admins wouldnt have to constantly deal with people coming up and buying drinks off them :P

bugger... oh well.

and oh wait, we might able to get some sleep this time.

w00t party at sphinx's that nite :D

I dont know about that

sleeman would be good for me too :D

5 mins up the road

GO the sleeman complex ..!0 mins from my place ))))

oh well, it sounds like a good idea to go to sleeman complex.

Miles away

ANZ is 10 :D

hemmy.. well go with matt

please change the date as well, UQ exams are still on June 28th - I have f***ing 3 that day!

Sleeman complex is good for me, 10-15 mins away :)

There's nothing to apologise for, the ANZ issues are out of your hands.

Trog, I'll try and get you in contact with a guy called Monks. His dad is the events organiser for Chandler and might be able to get you special deals.

please change the date as well, UQ exams are still on June 28th - I have f***ing 3 that day!

Sucks to be you.

Date is fine for me

indeed typodemon, indeed.

if you dont like it then here:

http://www.qgl.org/tissue/kleenex.jpg

I think you should choose a venue that Hunter is willing to drive to (assuming there is one).

date is fine for me, sleeman centre would be great, about 10-15 minutes away

Qgl is now at hunters house!!!

where the hell is the sleeman thing? I think we went there once for swimming carnivals but I got nfi how to actually get there.

I'd still go to qgl even if it was up mt cootha, I like to drive places :)

it near hawkins garden centre along old cleveland road.

its in capalaba. where cleveland road meets some other road...

ask tominator he lives close to it.

tilley rd I think.

Just to be picky its at Chandler between Capalaba and Carindale/Belmont. Which building would you be having it in?

So lemme get this right, its moving even further south?

dates good, venue is good any where,

following weekend i will be skiing on real snow so that weekend sux for qgl.
Hunter got get one

Chandler is not far out of the cbd.

Yep Sleeman should be cool with me :D

how about suncorp stadium.. only 5 min away from me :P =D

suncorp, where is the parking at suncorp, i certaintly don't want to carry my computer 500m to even get close to the door.

suppose you have a point... just wishful thinking as it is the closest place to me.

hunter you are quite foolish... Sleeman and Anz are reachable by a number of MAJOR TRAFFIC ROUTES, namely cleverland road and the freeway ffs.. it is not *that* hard to get to these venues, god knows the Broncos do it, grant hackett even made it to sleeman to swim on more then one occasion, they by no means are the *brightest* indivdiuals in the country :p So for someone of your great intellect and wisdom (giggle) I find it funny that you seem unable to make it to the venues if you wanted to...

but we all know you're just searching for another excuse.. The cake, you've still got it from before...

Aslong as the venue is a larger one, chances are it won't be in some tucked away street hiding from the world, that being said go back to yeronga :p

meh sounds like a good place

tilley road?
*shudders*
(bad memories return)
*curls up in foetal position in a corner*

try some places on the northside... jebus.

lucky i havent booked anything as yet!!

that is if the date changes :/

c00l its like 2 mins from my place :)

Oh yeah theres like heaps more parking at Sleeman as well right? massive carparks etc :D

nice.. i liv in carindale rite next 2 pacific golf club in 1 of the estates there.. closer than ANZ.. even tho i havent been 2 a qgl in over a year and a half

AND YOU BETTER NOT TURN UP

:P

sif northside

theres nothing good out there

hmmm i am comin from the sunshine(coast) i dont know where this place is. will have to find out.. but its not even decided yet huh.
mishon.

Except half the frickin city! Why do you think the majority of the CBD exists on the northside... anyone who is anyone lives here. But meh.

Can i have some of your cake that you keep clinging onto hunter... Quick, fuel prices have gone up that'll be sure to stop you going to qgl... OMG its raining outside, that's gonna stop you.. WAIT ITS SUNNY NO QGL FOR SURE don't want to get sunburnt on the way to the car... CAKE.. you have it and won't give it up

yes Spook.. Hi I live in Inala, bash me, rape me, steal my possesions please. Hi i live on the northside, I leave my house unlocked all day and find everything there. Yeah i can see why theres no one or nothing on the northside :rolleyes:

The southside sucks balls. I bet your could find just as good a venue on this side as you do on the southside.

try some places on the northside

Nah, northside is gay. What venues are there on the northside that could hold 400 to 500 people anyway?

Nah, northside is gay. What venues are there on the northside that could hold 400 to 500 people anyway?

Obviously places that gay people go to.


Next someone is going to suggest that we hold it in the same venue as GGF.

What venues are there on the northside that could hold 400 to 500 people anyway?

My local league's club is supposed to be able to hold ~450 people in it's auditorium and has a big screen projector already built in. It was only built about 2 years ago too so its uber modern.

Think about it... league's club / pub + LAN = lannage + after hours fun! When the LAN finishes for the night, head on over to the pub and have a few.

omg sifnt get a vending machine for all your drinking goodness :D, and STFU bout the northside, my school hall could house 350-440 easy as :D

McKennary Centre at Nudgee Colleg can old 400-500 people, also has plenty of parking beside the hall and also 6 x 3 phase curcuits.

Nudgee would probably be a good location too... it seems to work for NudgeeLAN?

f***, have it at my old high school, they got a new hall, prolly can hold around 500, and its in mt gravatt. that would be the bomb. 5 mins drive from anz stadium.

EDIT: They also have chairs, so all you will need to hire is tables or whatever else excluding chairs.

McKennary Centre at Nudgee Colleg can old 400-500 people, also has plenty of parking beside the hall and also 6 x 3 phase curcuits.

Northside sucks.. blah, blah, blah, There is one place already without even using 1 picosecond of thought. Some people i tell you. Was thinkking also about BEC but meh, you will get " whinge whinge too far" typical.

Haha, give it up, QGL is never moving to Nudgee. May as well hold it on the Moon.

My local league's club is supposed to be able to hold ~450 people in it's auditorium

When they tell you that, they mean 400 people, not 400 people + tables + PCs.

Actually Khel they were referring to the number of tables / chairs it has available for functions. Apparently it can hold way more people if you supply your own stuff.

Haha, give it up, QGL is never moving to Nudgee. May as well hold it on the Moon.

HAHA what a typical response, we find a suitable location and you just say give it up.. but if we find one on the southside, its all dandy.. yeah gg. Damn i dont have control at Nudgee, oh well we cant have a lan there.. sigh.

northside - no chance..

i dont care anyway.. brisbane ent center if any.. massive

get over the f***ing northside bias... Its pathetic, I don't know what it has stemmed from but its still pathetic...

wwfmike... the BEC _is_ on the northside man...

heres a thought the BTTA (brisbane table tennis association) at windsor. they have a huge wooden floored centre with a canteen that is right next to downey park so how about that?

its gotta have a huge amount of power capabilities like at anz

Skitza: if you want to LAN on the northside, go to GGF and Nudgee lan then, the northside doesn't need QGL.

Hunter - i know its on the northside.. i said.. if any that would be a good place.. its massive.. and can hold way more than 500

see if u can get a cheap price for the brisbane entertainment center

it may not be possible but oh well

quit bitching people, be happy you are getting a lan ;)

hahahaha brisbane entertainment center. i dont think we can afford the 90 buck entry fee

have it at my haus.

the northside doesn't need QGL.

heh... but brisbane does...

Im Fully for, Chandler..

Contact Monks on monkey_wrench@hotmail.com.

or email me and ill send u his phone number. tung. or trog.

krd05@hotmail.com

oh and.. so no qgl for these dates? 28 - 29th

im just gonna pretend that i dont know where Sleeman center is then i wont have to give Suhaib, Greazy and Morgan a lift at 8:00 am. Works out even better for me.

meh i would prefer North Side (coming from sunny coast) but is lan is good :)

meh i personally dont care where it is, i have gone and will go again. All im saying is dont rule out NS because its the NS, its f***ing biased and you know it. Also whats wrong with BEC ?? Have you checked that out yet ??

why do you shudder at tilley road, whoopass? Did you go to gumdale state primary school or something? - I did.

Also, i like the way foetus is spelt. foetus. damage. fragile. foetus.

If money wasn't a problem for me, I would build a uber massive hall just for qgl!

Is there going to be a BBQ at this lan since ANZ doesn't have control over qgl this time?

ffs, half this frigin board is having a f***ing afair with the southside. OHH ITS SOO MUCH BETTER, COS WE ONLY DRIVE 5 MINS.

how bout having the best lan in brisbane on the northside for once, give us poor champs a go.

I demand a vote.

Except half the frickin city! Why do you think the majority of the CBD exists on the northside... anyone who is anyone lives here. But meh.

Heh, with 17 Murders on the Northside since 1997 it's the place to be!

Although i live on the northside i agree with Khel. the northside is da place ofr LAN's in Brisbane. southside is full of slackers except fort he qgl admins coz nobody else can organise a lan on the southside yet they all seem to cry abotu no lans being there.

if you want to LAN on the northside, go to GGF and Nudgee lan then, the northside doesn't need QGL.

capt0

speaking of nudgeelan... almost a month has passed since the last one.

hint hint.

Yep Hunter you go to the South of the city past Southbank to get to the BEC which is on the northside somehow?

Skitza
try some places on the northside... jebus.

Exactly my thoughts. I have to travel at least 50mins as it is to turn up to this place at Chandler :|.

Someone needs to find a place as close to the middle of South and North as possible :P.

*votes for north side of in cbd*

ask a school or something to use their main hall. Like Ascot state school. Heaps of parking, and tons of space. School halls = win

i don't care where it is, i just want a QGL :(

well if the admins live southside of course its gonna be southside - and fair enough too, they're the poor buggers that set up for you whingers then clean up your filthy mess afterwards.

my vote is for a date change though :P

pr1nk1lb0rg0tr0n1lat0r2000xyz - actually BEC is at boondall..

WTG Spr1nk1lb0rg0tr0n1lat0r2000xyz!!!!

Lets bork EVERY thread on the forums.

Yep whatever is easiest for Admins! they have to get up earlier than all us and probly stay later than all of us.

hopefully trogs exam timetable is changed and he gets an exam on June 28th - mwhuhahahahah

Any weekend either side of the advertised week end is good. I'm having devils own trouble to find babysitting for the actual 28/29th

Why do you think the majority of the CBD exists on the northside

because there's a big f***ing river stopping it from expanding onto the southside?? omg!!!

:P

hahahahahah lol hahaha

So lemme get this right, its moving even further south?

Not that it would affect you~

Whereever it is, fine by me. As long as it's entertaining. A change of venue might be a positive thing to keep it fresh.

mm I wonder how much a venue at the convention centre would be?

Probably ridiculously expensive..

http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/community_facilities/city_hall/index.shtml

City hall main auditurium, also might I suggest you ask the Community Facilities Co-Ordinator for other council owned venues that could be used. Not sure of the cost.

Located in the heart of the city, Brisbane City Hall is a unique heritage-listed venue. It features world-class facilities suitable for corporate, social and community functions.

errr i dont think that would we suitable for little 15 year old cs kiddies eating pizza and making a f***ing mess, id wouldnt be surprised if they soiled themselves while there at it....

Man I've been there for the lowest of low, ferrel behavior, IT seminars with free goodies and food and drink, did I mention drink, and the mandatory bikini girl promoting the latest and greatest thingy majiggy from IBM,HP,Compaq, *insert any company*. And they don't seem to mind.

Hell 2 years ago I was there for a new years black tie ball, real sophisticated *wink* *wink* that one.

Dates all good :D I just wanna go to a LAN no matter where it is...

How about you all shut the f*** up and let the admins decide when and where they want the LAN?

BITTAH!!

City hall main auditurium, also might I suggest you ask the Community Facilities Co-Ordinator for other council owned venues that could be used. Not sure of the cost.

Another consideration would be access to the building for people. I'm imagining 400 nerds sitting in King George Square with their PCs having carried them from the Myer centre ;)

But really, do you know if they have parking close enough to allow people to bring their gear in?

why not stop bitching and be happy with The Sleeman Centre? It's nice and close to me and the facilities are realyl good. Going to a school and hiring a hall realyl wouldnt be that good.

im all for the sleeman centre.

City hall is too small, and would probably cost a fortune. When function places say "room for 400", they do mean "room for 400 with tables and chairs". But if you think about it, they'd fit people on both sides of a table, and people would be sitting closer together than they would be at a LAN. I'd say you still need to at least double that value.

As a side note, we'd need roughtly 1000 square metres. ANZ is roughly 950.

havent seen u post in a while saint

yer im 4 chandler ;).

Yep Hunter you go to the South of the city past Southbank to get to the BEC which is on the northside somehow?

The Brisbane Entertainment Centre is at Boondall ya knob! I drive past the place TWICE A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK.

I say, let's have a north vs south competition ladder! I reckon we'll send those southies packing back down to the sticks.

Also, city hall smells like wee.

Actually you might just find the 'Southies' would win. As I understand the majority of the 'progamers' are south side. It'd be kinda fun tho.

How about those people who suggested venues on the Northside (Hunter and Capt0 maybe someone else...) actually be a little proactive and find out (a) if they're available and (b) what it will cost. Then you can let the QGL Admins know and they can make a more educated decision.

Personally, I'd prefer to see it on the northside and I'd be happy to actually come and help set it up if it was out this way. And I'd even be willing to stay and help pack up. Unlike at ANZ or even worse - chandler where I'd still have over an hour drive before I got home.

It's actually spelt 'progaymers'.

It's actually spelt 'progaymers'

You are are an idiot...

Your mother didn't seem to think so Boxhead.

I really worry about hunter's maturity sometimes. He's over 20, and he tells people to go f*** goats, and uses 'your mum' jokes.

Was that when you were baking your cake that you're still clinging onto? YOU HAVE THE CAKE...

Aslong as qgl is still a bunch of people who are in it for the games, in a venue thats cool and comfy, not a bunch of tards who can't find the bin with their rubbish, scream bulls*** and OMG HJAXOR every second

^ Yep ^ Nice comments Boxhead.

Cool and Comfy are important as all hell :D

Hey maybe we can sleep at the new venue....i know that would be a plus :D

still with the cake calls boxhead - i like it :P

sleeman sounds alright as long as we get one all we need is power

One thing tho, whats with the big pool in the middle of the hall? or is the hall the QGL might be held in somewere else at the complex?


Otherwise people should remember to bring their floatable desks along and water proof power cabling :)

Nah! there will just be a big sign saying

"WATER COOLED PCS SET UP HERE"

:)

Either that or someone will just think "now that's a F**g awesome water cool mod!"

Now thats a big Res for your watercooling :)

Or set up a sign labeled

"Res for peeps overclocked to 4,000,000,000 GHZ"

That's where the gamers who don't use deoderant get thrown on the second day...
