    I though I had clicked in to after hours, But it was all threads about roads, bus's the luas etc. For a sec I though everyone on after hours had gone mad!!! anyway turns out there is a forum about roads:p!!!! amazing the things you discover.

    I have about 3 or 4 forums I look at most of the time, is there anyone who has looked at/ or contributed to all the forums on Boards?

    The majority of sub forums on this are scary places... like a creepy back road


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    I think there were a few people who set themselves the challenge of posting (constructively) in every forum once. Never heard how that went though.

    Dublin Forum.......................oh wait..............sorry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    Eh........this isn't where I parked my car!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,003 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Ya, there are some mad forums (fora?) around here alright...

    At one stage I had planned to make 1 relevant post in each and every forum, don't think it's possible now though... (e.g. Entrepreneurial & Business Management)

    Oh also, I'm banned from TCN, but I posted there to be banned, so that counts, right?

    After Hours.

    Haven't been able to get away since then.

    One guy did in the atheism/agnostic forum. The thread went on for 7 pages.

    Here it is - it's quite funny.

    I have posted in at least 150-160 of them. How constructive they were is debatable.

    Wibbs seems to be everywhere. It might be worth checking if he has visited every forum.

    I strolled into the farming forum once, I thoguht the post was about something completely unrelated to what it ended up being about. I've no background in farming and know very little about it but the threads are very fun to read from time to time. They're also all very friendly to each other.

    To be the ultimate poster do you have to be able to post in the sooper seekrit forums too?

    Imagine my disappointment as I excitedly clicked into the ‘Models’ forum

    Its in search function. I can see you have posted in 100-110.

    ;)

    I wandered into the Roscommon forum once. A record scratched and the music went silent as everyone turned around to look at me at once. I slowly reversed and ran back from whence I came.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,296 ✭✭✭Frank Black


    If you post in AH a lot it can be hard to reign yourself in when you wander into other forums. Once in one of the ‘Construction/DIY’ forums a guy was wondering how to chase a wall - I told him to run really fast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    I saw an interesting thread title on the Boards homepage recently, which I assumed was in AH, called "Hardest Opening Hole".

    Turns out it was in the Golf forum. :pac:

    I know what you mean, my effort at helping in another forum.

    Always accidentally click on Frisbee forum instead of GAA. Nobody ever seems to post in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    A few times I've been in R&R thinking I was in AH. Any time I do I'm like "jeez why's everyone so upset today?"

    There's also a forum that I won't name which I can't visit without my blood boiling at the sheer idiocy of every single person there [and no it isn't AH :pac:]

    funny I thought it was the other way round

    Whatever you do if you value your sanity don't visit the cuckoos nest. Or the conspiracy forum for that matter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,883 ✭✭✭smokedeels


    All the time, while confused and drunk with my c0ck hanging out.

    Wibbs seems to talk shíte everywhere. It might be worth checking if he has visited every forum.
    FYP.

    I'd check up a fair few forums. I'd lurk in a few but would never or rarely post(EG Politics). The regional/sports(exc cycling and fishing)/gaming ones I'd rarely if ever frequent. I'm a member of only two sekrit forums so no big post count there. No idea how to work out how many forums I've posted in though?

    EDIT just did a search on myself. Good Christ I do get around. :eek:. A few of the odd ones might be me redirecting posts to more suitable forums though. I mean I've one in the Trying to conceive forum and I've spent my adult life deliberately avoiding that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Stalk yourself* Search your own posts and the left-hand toolbar will show all the various forums you've posted in. In your case it's probably easier to cross-references the ones you haven't posted in :D


    *it's you, of course I mean it in a durty way.

    Argh...must....get....a.....life......


    ...I'm sure at least half those fora hit were for trolling purposes:P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    I clicked into legal issues one once.

    Some Victor Meldrew type was looking for advice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,003 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    This thread has given me the urge to post in more forums (fora?). Any advice where I should start?

    The more random the better..
