Uluru not Ayers Rock in the symbols legend.

[Wes Mantooth]

Fair call Wes but not exactly the best way to go about it...

How else am I supposed to go about it after notifying him in the chat about 50 times (fair call busy) but then I have personally emailed him about it also.

Read this thread again Ziplock (aka Zarts) http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,41506.msg520119.html#msg520119 and try and convince us that your response to Wes above was not from a specific vilification perspective. If you say shower often enough it becomes ingrained, that is why Ayers Rock was commonly changed back to Uluru. We had no right to name it in the first place.

Stay premium.

what about that thread? I'm actually pretty proud of a lot of the points I made in it- a lot of my comments were quite deep delving and insightful.

I made my post because I dont think it matters what people call things- an wes always does this annoying thing where he takes up arms over nothing- notifying on chat 50 times, and personally emailing him? pretty excessive for such a minor issue- I personally feel sorry for Ayer... now he only has a lake named after him. We call germany 'germany' even though that's nowhere near what the germans call it, and its no big deal. It's just a different language, and different languages have different words.

My city is called 'the blue mountains'. I really doubt the aboriginals called them that, so should be change the name? But, on top of that, it's actually technically called 'the city of the blue mountains'- that's its proper and official name, even though its not used most of the time- and I don't think anyone really cares about the misuse of the name either.

Actually, for the record, I don't have a real problem with the naming of uluru, my biggest issue is wes always getting so strung up about these minor problems.

There are generally way bigger bugs that need to be fixed on this site that are far more misleading, inconvenient and annoying.

Male to female ratio 1:1?

YOU'RE NOT TRICKING ANYONE MONTY!

Hope that was an attempt at a joke considering it is Lake Eyre, named after Edward John Eyre, and has nothing to do with Uluru...

I don't care about cultural sensitivity. I'm pissed I never got to climb it. A rocks a rock no matter what you call it.

that time of month again wes? :P

Speaks of your maturity Zip...

Have you just gotten out from under your rock? That is Zip being mature.

YOU MEAN AYER HAS NOTHING NAMED AFTER HIM!?!!?!

[Cookie Monster]

Well, i have been on the top.

But, they do try and convince you not to climb, almost saying it's disrespectful to climb it.

I wanted to climb it, but i felt bad.

I did it, but i felt bad.

my point being, whenever they refered to the rock, they always said, Uluru, never said Ayers Rock.

It is not disrespectful to have Ayers Rock on here, but the orginal name is Uluru and that is what should be used.

[Zombie2.5]

Uluru sounds better than Ayers Rock anyways. :P

[Ziplock]

I agree with that.

seriously, how was it named.

'Billy was with Ayers when the rock was named. In his old age he was asked how the great heart of australia got its name to which he began to tell the story
'the 5 of us were traversing the desert, searching a wandering, when before us in the distance, we saw a looming shape. As we got closer, we saw it was a rock! at which point ayers cried
'dibs'
and from then on it was ayers rock.''
