Sensational at best, sensationalism at worst.

Maybe the article will generate a bit more traffic to the Sensational Adelaide website, get a few more of the locals interested, increase the quality and numbers of people participating in these forums.

When did we even discuss the bus stop outside the hotel? Advertiser putting words in our mouths?

Back on pages 12 and 13 of this thread. In 2012!
The "operator of the forum" who "shut down the debate" was Mono. Fun police. Bah!

I don't think Miles Kemp has experience with technology or credible news sources haha
I found it funny though how an adelaidenow commentor said that commentors on articles and commentors on forums are basically the same.

found another credible news source for Miles Kemp. Maybe he'll read this forum again and use this as evidence the world might be ending in 2012.

they didn't even investigate much on the bus stop thing, they said two other hotels had bus stops in front: the Hilton and The Stamford. Both wrong, without even investigating I know that there is a bus shelter in front of the Stamford but not an actual stop, there's a tram stop in front of the Hilton but it is across the road. There are a couple of hotels that do have actual bus stops in front of them: Intercontinental (sort of), Adina, and Grand Chancellor on Currie. How can I believe the article when it gets such basic facts wrong?
Basically, bus stop moved due to hotel redevelopment, so what? that's the beauty of buses, the stops and routes can be easily moved, get over it Shtvertiser

But supporters of the development had mocked users of the bus stop prior to its removal, on a web forum run by Sensational Adelaide which promotes development debate in the CBD.
I've been quoted out of context by the Advertosser. My life is complete now.
That post back in 2012 was about the building's state at the time, which was derelict and abandoned. Some people were trying to make the link between the state of the building and the kinds of people who used the bus stop. Which was obviously ass-about.

All I did was suggest that we move such discussion out of the development forum and into the pub. Why u always so mean?
BWAHAHAH Minecraft Forum nice choice.
