i only happened here recently and i find its nice

nicely free and not too stupid with some humor and seriousness thrown in

chatty thats what it is

That's the coolest line I've read all day. I dunno if it's just me and the way I read your reply. I feel a better person. Someone praising AH in an almost innocent way. Their soul hasn't been chipped away at....... just yet.

yup innocent thats me

I think a "youth club" sub-forum could be useful, all the toilet & "Your Mother" threads could be sidelined.

Me? I'd like to see more reported posts. This function gives users more control over what is moved / locked / banned, etc. The people that whine the most in Feedback are quite often the people that report the least and rarely ever offer constructive criticism ("it shud b like "anarchaic" and stuff like" is not constructive.)


The catch-phrases, etc. : Can people please list which phrases they think are repeated too often? Yore ma is being dealt with. Any others? (We have a few that we think are overused but, as above, we want your input.)

"Free Speech" should be on the spam filter.

WhiteWashMan

'Terry' should also be on the spam filter

Just keep it loose, but merge the (same old crap) and divert the rants to the thunderdome. As well as I said earlier ^^^

If you make it too regimented it will lose a lot of what users want.

It's like Friday night in the pub, more fun after a few jars!! (slowly getting Plasreretd)

Tigger

Terry is nice.

there is that what you wanted.

I like my After Hours with a pinch of salt, and a barrel of boobs.
More boobs I say!

I like it but, there are far too many threads being created every day. It's too hard to keep up sometimes.

I must visit here more often!

By that he means that me, him and his kittens regularly participate in water sports.

Seconded. Some of the self-abuse threads were a little tasteless but I like it here, it keeps me entertained and I like the moderators, they're not nazis at all, and Terry makes me laugh. (Did you ever notice how all of his posts are perfectly spelled and punctuated too?!)

No problems for me.

Unanimous in terms of comments so far. Feedback malcontents take note. The folk voting for some change might take the time to voice an opinion though...

Terry, Karoma, nesf et al do a fine job. The beauty of it is, they are all different people with very different opinions, and yet mod very consistently and even handedly.

Keep it up, chaps (as Ruu might say).

eo980 wrote: »

I agree with the auld general consensus and that is that it's great. It's improved massively of late and you guys are doing a great job with it. The moderation is spot on and Terry is possibly the best thing to have happened to it.

Daddio wrote: »

There's been some interesting topics over the weeks, So Glad's threads have been the best in a long time imo.
Also agree that terry is doing a lot of good modding - I have no idea how he has the time though

I'm off the clock, so you can all suck my balls.

How do you like me now, mother****ers.

G'wan, do it! You know you want to!

Imagine the volume of feedback threads, the lolcat community would be working overtime to keep up with the demand for new pics!

I've posted more in AH over the past few days than I have in the past few months and I have to say I've enjoyed it! The mods have done a great job imo, they've managed to keep threads flowing nicely through timely intervention. Kudos!

WhiteWashMan

I agree. All the mods have done a sterling job.
And they better keep doing it or they're fired!

Terry

I'll fire...Never mind. I'm sober now.

With regards to the amount of threads; I have noticed a marked increase in thread creation and posts.
I would imagine this is down to the recent upgrade and the increase in speed that it brought.

The default thread display shows threads from the last 10 days.
There are usually six or seven pages of threads being shown.
At the moment there are ten pages, so that's just less than one page worth of threads every day (factoring in stickies, bumped threads and the fact that the tenth page isn't full).
This is the most I've seen on AH for a long time.

arbeitsscheuer

Yep, AH is indeed in a very healthy state. Long may it continue!

If I had to make a suggestion, I'd suggest... er... a fourfold increase in random tangential arguments with double the normal amount of deviant preversion!

Yeah.

And I expect that to be implemented by next thursday. Chop chop.

So if you just spend twice as long on AH ... done!

Back OT: In fairness, the mods do a mighty job of keeping the place going, and I for one don't envy them their job.

The only thing that really annoys me about AH is the idiots who constantly jump on the "Poles / Lithuanians / <insert nationality here> are r00ning Ireland" bandwagon, especially when they play the "culture" and "history" cards! If they actually knew their Irish history, even of the last fifty years, they might be a little less quick to put the boot in to people who have come over here to make a few bob while times are reasonably good, just like lots of my family (and probably yours!) headed to England and the US in the past when Ireland's economy was in the sh1t.

Tbh, Hagar, I would take a "what is the strangest place you spanked the monkey?" thread over that any day ... at least they can be funny (albeit juvenile) at times. That guy (can't remember his nick, one of the gamers) who decided that the loo in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was the perfect spot to rub one out still makes me grin!

However, I'm just having a little rant on the subject, really ... the mods keep a sharp eye on it as it is, and going on a wholesale rampage would only start multiple "free speech / fight the powah" threads in Feedback. Anyway, they are entitled to their opinion, I guess, even if it is idiotic, uninformed, infantile and bigoted, and they may as well vent it here where they will at least be confronted on it, rather than on some other site where their neo-fascist rants might go unchallenged.

we dont have a filter for people who dont have a grasp of the whole picture.
what you get on here is a representation of ireland.

if people think those thoughts here, then you can bet your bottom dollar that there are plenty of others.
you can try and educate them, or you can just ignore them.

ive learnt to ignore.

some people just come out with utter crap.
and thats not just this forum, its all forums.

but then again, theres plenty of people out there who think im full of crap, so i dont mind to much.

Black Swan

AH is normally grand! Its general lack of seriousness and touch of humour makes it fun. I actually read a sticky!
**B!ue goes into SHOCK**

what do you categorize as useless and what do you categorize as funny and what do you catagorize as pointless?

Terry

I just had a look at the poll results and 58.45% of you are happy.
That's nice.

What bothers me is the other 41.55% who are not happy with it.
Most of you have chosen not to speak up.
How are we supposed to help you, if you don't tell us what you want?

It's obvious what the problem is, imo.

People are too scared to speak up because they are afraid of the moderators.

I'm making a stance here.

People are afraid that if they say anything that 'goes against the grain' of the AH Clique, then they will be castigated, maybe even banned by self riotous mods.

Forty odd percent is a very sizeable minority, to be fair, and should be catered for.

Hagar

Terry I think you are selling your self short.

I am one of the 28% who voted for "Some change" That does not mean I'm unhappy with AH, in fact I think it's the heart of Boards and is very well run. "Some change" is just an indication that there is some aspects I enjoy more than others and I would like to see more of them. Not really a negative indicator at all. I'd say you could claim that the "some change" brigade are happy with AH rather than unhappy.

Good work lads, keep it up.
