That's okay, I'm glad you haven't been wasting valuable drinking time.

Just cracked my 9th and have a nice buzz going.
Also just took my diabetes pill.
Turns out that drinking 2 litres of Coke to cure your hangover does some damage. Luckily enough I suffer more from low blood sugar levels than high. This means I can still drink Coke. I'm Charlie Sheen winning.

Don't mess with Jedward.
My god-daughter is going to be dancing as part of their opening act later this month.
As odd as they are, I'm now happy they exist because of the opportunity they have given to her.

To answer your question, I've been drunk for just over 2 years now.
It was an interesting experiment, and, while I did do a lot of damage to my body, I feel that it was well worth it.
The experiment ends in 2 weeks or thereabouts. There will be a week or so of withdrawal drinking.

Eh i've known you 6 yrs now and you've been drunk all that time!

*mumbles* 2 yrs my arse

No. I used to only get drunk 2 or 3 nights a week.
When I'm sober, I'm really unsociable, so the only time we would talk is when I was drunk.

Yes, there may have been nights when I had 3 or 4 cans, but it's been a long time since that amount has made me drunk.

In September 2009 I began drinking every night at 6pm. I've drank at least 10 cans every night since then. 12 for the last year.

I ****ing hate talking to people when I'm sober.

Comebacks are too mainstream.
Just visiting.

In saying that, I have missed the place.

The mods in AH don't ban anyone. Too busy locking threads.

Once upon a time I was also dizzy with the power of the boards.ie mod position. At the time, my doctor prescribed me Heroin to ween me off the initial addiction. He thought a period of Methadone afterwards would get me off my relieving drug but he ended up signing up to boards himself, posting daily on After Hours and forgot to write up my prescription as a result.

It's not easy banning your GP but it had to be done at the time.....there were too many 'titty' references!

Thats the thing about mods...
They get used because they dont get paid.
Take boards.ie ... its a very big message board. But in order to function correctly it needs mods. People who help to maintain the site. But yet they still dont get paid.

Which you got to laugh at the internship threads on here. People slagging them for being one big con (and rightfully so) ... But is being a mod on here not getting used aswell? I know one could say its "unpaid help to support the site" - But someone is making money from this site.

What if I created, say ... a dating site. I too would need mods to scan for bogus profiles, to accept and decline images, to handle complaints etc. I too could spin their help as "supporting the site" but yet, i keep the money to myself

Think that's bad?

I used to be a ****ing admin, back when it was just DeVore and Cloud running the gaff.

I'd a great time, I'd put random word like "really" and "like" and "lovely" into the word filter.

I'd site ban all the AH mods and let the kids run wild on the forum for a few hours.

I added DeVore to the Registered User user lists for a day or so...

Thems were the days.

Now look at me, I can't even fart in some forums with out getting infracted.

Yeah but even if they weren't mods, chances are they'd be on Boards fairly regularly anyway whereas with a job or internship, you probably not going to spend more time there than you have to. I'm sure also it's not without its benefits which I would assume are comparable to those offered to subscribers.

People who have never been mods seem to think you get some kind of special powers or something. Only thing being a mod is good for is testing the limits of your patience.

Boards is essentially a space that people can rent (for free) to cater for their tastes. The Mods are the people with the greatest vested interest in that space. They are free to leave and they will be replaced by others whose interest in keeping that space for their needs open.
