    2 years ago when I was a young'un and new to AH it was like a mental asylum.

    Then for the last few months it was like an old folks home, talk of religion, politics, illness.

    Today, it is like old times, talk of arses, boobs etc.

    I like the old times.

    Most popular threads appear to be-

    Shíteing/riding/puking in a public place.

    Personal Dilemmas

    Public sector/celeb bashing.

    Criticism of justice/welfare system.

    Fat/ugly men/women


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    I thought it was a place to dump Independent\Sky News\BBC\Daily Mail stories. No?

    Ah goes around in circles, same old threads being recreated. Only thing new is a few good stories.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Far as I can see, a lot of the time the same subjects as two years a go are just returning once again in a while - repeatedly.
    Not that much has changed to be honest in a lot of ways

    2 years? more like every two weeks recently.

    ah is ok. bit boring lately, but i think it goes through phases. that or I go through phases of being sick of it. op why not start more of the kinds of threads you want to see?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    Lets go back to the Quake days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Is there not a thread about ****ting yourself in public on AH now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,327 ✭✭✭AhSureTisGrand


    Well it's fairly chaotic this evening OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    I'm here for almost one year, the first thing, I kept in mind was 'blasting with piss' :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭recylingbin


    Where'd boobs thread go?

    That was a winner.

    I really miss the proper trolling from pre-2005 AH...I really do :(

    After Hours these days is nothing compared to it. To hint at a post above "fields and all that" :)

    They may actually run out of padlocks for the threads then :P

    Really? I've been lurking since 2006 or so and I have to say AH is gradually getting worse. No "yore ma's", "blasting with .<whatever>." etc, etc.. Way too serious subjects are being discussed nowadays and literally a handful of old, decent AH warriors remained. I'd give it a bit more freedom, I wouldn't support total anarchy now, but a bit of a pi55take and relax would be recommended IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Meh...........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I've only been lurking for about 18 months or so but it doesn't seem to have changed much to me.

    I always liked that you'd get a mix of nonsense and serious stuff, just like normal conversations with friends. Depending on your mood you could pick and choose which threads to read or get involved in: ****ting in public or a thread that develops from an intelligent discussion about religion into a religious person and an atheist arguing back and forth with each other for twenty pages.

    Maybe it's more serious than it used to be, but there's still enough silliness for those want it.

    Silliness and piss and tits.

    Is it time yet for another round of "Polish woman Vs Irish woman" threads?

    I enjoy those :D

    Give it up, Alice wants her looking glass back.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    Nah I think its been far too long since we've had a dole bashing thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Is it that there are more idiots on here lately? Maybe it's due to the school holidays.

    Mind you, if that's the case I fear for the future because it seems that we've got a whole pile of Daily Mail reading, right-wing, reactionary fascists growing up and wanting their voices heard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I'd hazard that the posters and opinions in AH is a representation of Irish society in large (within the age 15-25 or so).

    Where did the boobs thread go?

    Not impressed. At all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Eh?

    I'm looking forward to chopping a nice thick knotty log of arse timber into those new shitters that are being set up in Dublin City centre.

    Fcuking world walking around you as you dispatch a floury lad into the pan.

    How good is that!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I remember my first after hours thread, all of one year ago. It was a thread about threesomes that warranted me PMs from about 15 guys.

    Can't make those kinda comments anymore without the feminists attacking you!

    Delighted they seemed to take the day off for Abi today :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Don't look backwards with green eyes. After all, the grass is always seems greener on the other side of the tracks.

    And remember, don't put all your blessings in one basket.

    A hippie gets onto a bus and sits next to a nun in the front seat. The hippie looks over and asks the nun if she would have sex with him.
    The nun, surprised by the question, politely declines and gets off at the next stop. When the bus starts again, the bus driver says to the hippie, "If you want, I can tell you how you can get that nun to have sex with you."
    The hippie of course says that he'd love to know, so the bus driver tells him that every Tuesday evening at midnight the nun goes to the cemetery to pray to the lord. "If you went dressed in robes and some glowing powder," says the bus driver, "You could tell her you were God and command her to have sex with you."
    The hippie decides to try this out. That Tuesday, he goes to the cemetery and waits for the nun. Right on schedule, the nun shows up. While she's in the middle of praying, the hippie walks out from hiding, in robes and glowing with a mask of god. "I am God, I have heard your prayers and I will answer them but you must have sex with me first," he says.
    The nun agrees but asks for anal sex so she might keep her virginity. The hippie agrees to this and quickly sets about having sex with the nun.
    After the hippie finishes, he rips off his mask and shouts out, "Ha ha, I'm the hippie! "
    The nun replies by whipping off her mask and shouting, "Ha ha, I'm the bus driver!"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 308 ✭✭EmacB


    Im not sure if its changed or i have but i used to spend alot more time in after hours then i have recently, I dont enjoy it as much these days. Im just so sick of all the government bashing comments..... i couldnt really give a fúck about politics anymore its just that no matter what the thread is about somebody find a way to say something about fianna fail, bertie etc.

    Off the top of my head take for example 'the stupidest thing you ever did' thread. I was waiting for sombody to say 'I voted for fianna fail' aaaaand they did...har har har

    Its not funny, original or clever :mad:.

    For me the best threads are the ones where people tell their own stories, like the awkward moment with a parent one or the stingy thread:). Threads looking for opinions on something (especially the church) just turn into big headwrecking arguments.
