Re-name After Hours in aid of SSF

    Right we've been thinking long and hard about this .

    We'd like to auction off the naming rights to AH for the 7 days of Christmas.

    We do have a few rules though

    The days I'm thinking of are 24th Dec -> 31st Dec inclusive.
    • One day per person.
    • Winning bidder for said day, gets to re-name AH.
    • The name must not be offensive to people, we are expecting some dark humour though :D
    • Winning names must have mod/Admin approval. Ross/Conor have agreed to do change the name.
    • Dates are subject to change.
    • Admin's decision is final
    • Suggestions with the highest bid win.


    Along the way, some of the AH mods have volunteered to auction off their usernames and custom tags for charity too.
    Its on the condition that it reverts back to normal after a set duration. Not all mods are taking part.

    Same rules as re-naming AH apply to mod tags and names.

    Please guys, remember that the money raised goes to a great cause. I know times are tough back home, but even a few Euro will go a long way to buy some stuff for the kids

    This post is subject to change. Rules may get altered if I forget a critical detail.

    It will cost €1,000 to get it named "The Dublin Forum". I'm sure Dublin people wont mind that amount.

    Maybe some Cork people will bid for it to be named "The Cork Forum".



    I wonder who would win in the bidding....
