Greetings to all new members, we are looking at alternative names and a bit of an upgrade.

Currently we have "too many message boards" as the name, but are welcome to community suggestions.

Please share below what acronym you would like and we will go to a community poll!

One suggestion I will start off is with "Talk more message boards"

Try and get creative, and we will go with whatever choice goes with the most votes. We will then ask members to submit a logo to vote on

Something a little different, a bit esoteric in places, and quite a lot of revealing the answers in my case...

Is anyone else having trouble getting into TM...well, to the messageboards.

I'm having heart failure, and thinking 'you b*st*rds', that they have shut them down early.

Couching my words carefully, why does a certain ethnicity lag behind? What's the root cause?

As a team of 5 million, we've all had oodles of chances to be vaccinated. Given that the Māori over 50's are comparable with the rest of the population, that would suggest that access isn't the problem, so its the mindset of the "youngsters" at fault. Is social media behind it, like most things these days? 

There's been a lot of moaning from the likes of the Māori Party, but I'm not sure what they want to happen exactly. There's no magic bullet. A lot of the vaccine advertising on TV has been aimed at Māori and Pacific, so they're obviously not watching it. Maybe Ash needs to do some TikToks.

First dose %s
=========
Asian 95%+
European 87%
Pacific 82%
Māori 68%

Get ready for reds, oranges and greens!

I'm gonna need more face coverings, sigh.

Just thought I'd start a poll to see what sort of devices everyone has! 

Personally I own two desktop computers (one for gaming, one for video editing), a laptop, and a smartphone. Yes, you guessed it, I'm a millennial

Most of the Waikato is in Level 3 until at least the 27th.

I didn't think they'd let us out before the long weekend, which makes sense I guess.

How's everyone coping in the Waikato at the moment? Aucklanders are doing it tough for sure, but the Waikato is heading into its 4th week of level 3 during the current outbreak so a lot of lives are no doubt being affected here too. 

Hope everyone in Te Awamutu is doing ok! Gets a bit scary when the virus is close to home.

I'm Hamilton based and I'm lucky that I can do my job within the level 3 rules, but it's a tough situation to navigate at times. Really hoping we see some sort of normality in the next month or two.

Have seen a few of these... and more than a few that I've never got around to watching!

Now that we have a Governor General called Cindy, any suggestions for a fun new name to be used when referring to the PM?

How about "the Prime Minister"?

It's pretty simple really isn't it??

Why can't people get it through their heads, that to be vaccinated gives you the maximum protection from catching this deadly virus.

I've had both vax's now, and especially now that it is in my town (Te Awamutu), I feel safer.

I would love to see another Super Saturday, mainly for those who had their first jab on the first SS, so in around a couple of weeks, so that people can get their second vax. It was such a success, that I think it's worth it.
