What is After hours raison d'etre?

dr.bollocko · 23-11-2009 10:33pm #1

Well folks we are currently knocking around a new charter. As such we're looking to come up with a way of describing just what After Hours remit is. What do you think After Hours is for?
How would you synopsise it?
Please don't take the piss too much and if you're just here to take a swipe at after hours then kindly GTFO.
All help appreciated.

You should make 4chan memes and horribly over used catchphrases an offence.

"Please don't take the piss too much and if you're just here to take a swipe at after hours then kindly GTFO."

Or

After Hours is the light-hearted "General" forum on boards. Discussion of most topics is acceptable here, but please stick to the charter.

It's a bit disrespectful to be using French there Doc, you know.. after what they've done

After Hours is a general forum. The forum for sensible discussion on topics that don't fit anywhere else, with a good few laughs here and there.

In summary, better than the other forums.

Because you can't look at porn in work.

Oh yeah. The usage of the phrases "bleeding heart, pinko, leftie, liberal" etc whenever anyone disagrees with someone. That's another good one to get rid of.
Hmmm

I take issue with your use of the word sensible.

raison d'etre?

Oooo...Spot the St Micheals Boy!!

After hours consists of the type of chat you have with your mates after a few pints at a lock in. You might disagree and argue your side, but if you get rowdy, the barmans gonna kick you out, so keep it civil. Typical subjects are anything thats in the days news, a funny story you heard, and terrible jokes and puns. Sometimes the debate can turn serious, but remember, the barmans watching, and you're gonna wanna come back, so don't get so loud that the neighbours kick up **** and ye're all barred.

It exists ..oooooh .. it just does

"AH is what it's members make it"

That might sound vague and hippy-like, but it's true.

If people want to talk about something, they will

even if it fits in another forum, AH is not about other forums

It's about those posting in it

You've listed quite a few of the major things that make this forum a unfunny cesspool.

Winner!

That was awesome!

dr.bollocko · 23-11-2009 10:48pm

Thanks whore now because I will just be stealing your words and passing them off as my own when the charter is eventually finished. :pac:

CliffHuxtabel · 23-11-2009 10:49pm

No more downer threads

e.g 'Dog set on Fire', 'Puppy stamped to death by thugs', 'Man executed for raping kids' (cant remember original thread titles)

They always have the same angry responses....not much to make fun of

Perfect. Clearly I hijacked his account. When he regained control he edited 23 paragraphs out of my effort.

Please don't let killjoys shoehorn the forum into humanities-for-slow-learners where some topics have to treated with 'seriousness and respect', but, conversely, do continue to allow this kind of topic to blossom of its own accord.

I'm at pains to not censor anybody. The rules of the new charter will be largely the same as the current construct and we will continue to have feedback threads from time to time to make sure things are going well. Right now things are going well here IMO.

A thread soup where the cream rises to top, the junk goes to the bottom (without being moved or locked as much) and is moderated as little as possible.

Latchy · 23-11-2009 10:58pm

JFK ,a man who knew a lot about making speechs , would be proud of some of the ones here tonight ...sniff

I'm not a big fan of soup. Any chance you could make a similar analogy except using chicken burgers?
