    Just after hours. Usually when someone tries to start a topic and the first page is responses ripping the p1ss into the OP. (Ye big eejit ye!)

    I've no idea, but from now on the username "Adam" will mean:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ElaElaElano


    Dunno, it can be irritating at times but...well to be honest I'm a hypocrite when it comes to this. Like if everyone rips the píss out of one thing I'll join in and then get all moral highground ish if they joke about something I think is in bad taste...and I'm not the only one.

    I suppose the bottom line is, on AH even if there are 10 trollish, pointless threads, there'll be at least one where people are engaging in proper, no nonsense debate...whereas /b/ is just a complete and utter 24/7 písstake.

    Basically, here is worth ten of there imo.

    Edit, to the posters above, he's referring to /b/, which is a part of 4chan. Basically a more extreme version of AH, completely no holds barred and no intelligence at all.

    They are refering to /b/, which is a forum (you could probably describe it as) on another site. It's where most of the memes have come from e.g. Pedobear - but they also have an "everything goes" attitude too.

    I really hope AH doesn't become like /b/

    Is it like that 4chan thing?

    Not really, they are all too soon forgotten Adam.;)

    Which is why they keep coming back.:pac:

    There are a few though that keep us reading, yet they never seem to stick around.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    I hear /b/ beig reffered to here quite a bit, the odd time i do try to look at that (it's just 4chan right?) it's a load of unreadable nerd nonsense

    Do many people here use it??
    May be worth a poll...

    A meme is another word for an internet craze - something viral, which everyone talks about.

    As another poster has said, if you wish to search for it, be prepared to see A LOT of porn.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,943 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    4chan (more so /b/) has been a really lame place to be since i dunno when. I used to post their over the years but couldnt be bother in the last year or two. Its a dump of a site thats full of over used memes and idiots who think they are "cool" for ruining the lives of other people. (some deserve it, some just dont)

    Saying all that tho, had some funny moments on there but I wouldnt insult boards.ie by saying they are even similar. Even AH isnt that bad, and it can be pretty bad sometimes.. :rolleyes: But its like meth, you just keep coming back to it and having a laugh most of the times :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    /b/ is like the mental asylum of the internet. A mental asylum with a lot of porn and gore pictures.


    I can understand the porn but why does anyone find gore pics appealing?:confused:

    i ventured over there.. yeah, thats right.. i had a snoop at /b/.. more than once.


    i was too afraid to click into any of the threads..

    there's no way ah can become like /b/, this place is modded to the bollocks.(thankfully) :)

    The chonz is nothing like AH. Boards is 24/7 nanny time...for disagreeing with someone you get banned....a load of old cock and balls.

    After hours definitely is.

    When a thread appears people look to find a way to scrutinize it in anyway and usually find a flaw through means that arn't worth posting. Mainly Spelling, grammar or tl;dr. Which tbh leads me to believe most of the posters are better off just playing with a set of dangling keys.

    But those posts never lead to some of the lawls /b/ has offered unfortunately.

    Ironically enough . . . I totally disagree with that. You only get banned for being a twunt. And even bigger twunts then complain about being banned because of boards being like a nanny state.

    True in a few ways, there's a lot of nobs waiting to pounce on a flaw, you could acutally look at some posters history and that's all they do. And not valid flaw either, minor ones.

    But sure it's the school holidays...

    BS.

    Threads are closed for the simplest thing. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing because boards.ie is essentially an intelligent forum where those seeking advice come to obtain it.

    Asking advice from /b/ is utterly hopeless unless you're a) a female with boob pics, b) have a question about sex and you're a female with boob pics or c) you want to see /b/'s cocks and you're a female with boob pics.

    I don't want boards to ever turn into what /b/ is. Two completely different websites with completely different agenda's and ideas. Let's keep it that way.

    For arguments sake, let's compare the two....

    Okay, first page of AH:

    *Ireland, highest emigration rate in E.U
    *Hunt for Brit over Spain shooting
    *Afghan war logs

    So, that's some pretty serious stuff and it warrants some pretty serious replies.

    Now let's look at the ****stain of the internet.

    Okay, first page of /b/:

    *Should I fv(k my cousin rant (long)
    *Where can I find pedophilia crap
    *Show your ass thread
    *I am disappoint game
    *Princess Toadstool naked
    *Pic of guy with marshmallow in his anus
    *Che Guevara with an Irish flag in the background (obvious troll **** storm)
    *Die n!ggers die
    *Voyeur pics of unsuspecting teacher
    *Replace a word in a film title for the word "n!gger". 1st Post: Return of the n!gger. 2nd Post: The Lord of the n!ggers. 3rd Post: n!gger n!gger n!gger n!gger.

    /b/ is trolls trolling trolls. AH is a more relaxed experience with REAL information from REAL people.

    So, yeah....AH is nothing like /b/.
