  Very well said, @onesilvertwo. I agree with you!
  
  One thing din na naobserve ko, well correct me if I'm wrong, karamihan sa mga new applicants or intending to apply, mas ok ang pinoyau kasi mas pinag-uusapan dito yung new guidelines. Another thing is hindi ganun kamoderated yung phil.com.au. Meron kasing post ng post dun ng advertisements na hindi naman maintindihan and ipopost na lang kung san thread nya maisipan. Minsan tuloy akala mo may nagreply na sa inquiry mo yun pala ad lang.

  @BubungFinn ah ganoon ba. Probably na mis-interpret nila ang intention ng pinoyau. As @aolee / @admin has declared, this site was not established to compete with the "existing" philippines.com.au, this site aims to help Pinoys to get information about AU Immigration Process "in addition" to the help that philippines.com.au is giving. The members who criticized that invitation would probably belong to some of the exception who chose to look on the negative side rather than analysing the benefits and purpose of the new site.
  
  I myself is also posting some questions to philippines.com.au and they have answered my questions. Also, I am checking the site from time to time for some updates. But to simplify and as I am also getting the information I need from pinoyau, I prefer and chose to hang out on this site.
  
  The only difference from the other site, since they have been established earlier than pinoyau, mas madami ng members ang experienced in terms of processing. Here in pinoyau, we try to share information that we learn as we go through the process and based on what the members have read, so far it's helping our fellow members.
  
  As for your application, you may find the information from your assessing body and DIAC overwhelming at the beginning, just try to identify what information you really need and focus on that subject. This way, one information will not confuse another idea. I suggest to start to identify what VISA Type is applicable for you, check the eligibility criteria, and read external sites (assessing body for your occupation). Good luck!

  Hehe! @aolee, naalala ko nga yun na buong december down ang phil.com.au. Akala ko nga forever ng magiging inaccessible e. Same tayo, meron akong mga posts na I advise people to check phil.com.au too.

  @BubungFinn hehehe nahukay mo papala yun :-) actually kaya ko naginvite before... i don't know kung naabutan mo last year na the whole dec yata down ung site nila due to hacking ata. naisip ko magput up nito so users will also have an alternative place to hang out. but d pumasok sa isip ko na mang kompitensya. pinupush ko nga na magpunta rin ung iba sa kabila e. san ka ba nakakita ng ganun forum na pinupush sa ibang forum ung mga members to get more info . sakin lang the more info the better at makakatulong sa kababayan natin.
  
  sakto naalala ko ung member na may name na Finn kapangalan mo ... sabi daw nya. ayaw nya mag join dito kasi daw humihingi ng credit card? nyaks! nakaktawa lang.
  
  ung isa komikskolektor ata ung name sumagot pa na ... "website life, website life" daw e kesyo mamamatay dahil lilipat ang tao eventually kaya kumpetisyon pa rin. hehehe anyways kanya kanya lang talaga ng opinion
  
  cheers!

  Do you think we should implement a captcha control system to prevent spammers from posting their useless ads. Or is it too early pa?

  @Davidx23 that's a good suggestion, but as of the moment i think too early pa, onti pa lang manaman active users natin. kaya pa ma-moderate yung mga postings.
  
  You guys can help me track down spammers by clicking the "Flag" link option in a comment
  
  
  
  it works like a "report comment to admin". i will be notified if anyone clicks on it then i can check the particular comment whether it's spam or not.

  Yeah sobrang tagal nga, i thought at first may problem sa pc ko. but when i checked the webpage source code, may PHP script na hinahanap, meaning either may hindi na upload na script or code error si programmer at nakabakasyon ng mga panahon na yon. or na compromise ung site. i pm the owner of phil.com.au that time , but took time before they fixed it. tsaka parang inulit ung pag code kasi trial and error ang ngyari. mukha nga na compromise -- just my observation.

  Pls bear with me the classified ads section will be delayed a bit. Planning to write it from scratch instead of integrating a ready made one. This way we can secure it from spammers. Thanks
