the Brian Cowen morning Ireland interview discussion got 35,000 views in after hours and 23,000 views in politics

why is after hours the centre of www.boards.ie

is it the light touch regulation modding?:eek:

Brian Cowen hung over is more befitting for AH i recon... considering... you need to be hung over to be in here...

It's like he's trying to be 1 of us :P

Becuase I don't want to actually know about politics, just make puns and quips about very serious and worrying situations.

Not everybody is interested in politics, but most people would find something of interest in After Hours.

Honestly I think after hours is moderated in such a way that you have more freedom of speech here than other forums (althou I do not frequent the politics forum)

I used to post in the Politics forum but found that, as you're either preaching to the converted, or arguing against people who have no interest in listening to what you are saying, that you'd have more chance of getting something out of an arse kicking contest if you only had one leg.

The same applies to the Soccer forum.

At least AH, on a good day, is a bit of craic.

I never check the politics forum. I don't know enough to contribute and Irish politics is not worth discussing as everyone involved is blatantly incompetent and slightly mentally retarded.
I lurk on the Irish Economy sub forum though as I like to keep up to date on how fecked we as a country are.

Logical Fallacy

Given the active population of Politics Vs the active population of AH the 23K is more impressive.

It's pretty much the same on a lot of specialist forums. In some ways, beneath all the pun and fun, you get a way better discussion on AH because you have a large audience with a lot of different opinions.

I do get a lot of my news from AH. I don't watch, read or listen to the news so if something is important or entertaining enough it will be on here before anywhere else anyway.

I love you AH.

I think he's referencing the politicians as opposed to the politics forum posters.

Yea, I got that bit but he said "everyone" involved.
Talk about tarring all with the same wide brush!

Had he bothered to look into the politics section alone he might have learned that there are some very intelligent people in it.
...And thats just the ones that I might not agree with on the other side of the political fence!
