    Informants get access to the sex and sexuality forum for a couple of hours.

    Oh baby yeah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Killer Wench


    There is a sex and sexuality forum? And why I haven't I been aware of this before?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭murrayp4


    No lives...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Pride Fighter


    I'd tell you, but I'd have to shoot you.

    Sometimes it can be really easy, writing styles are hard to change for some user's.

    Or a common expose in AH is a relative noob referring to Facekickers threads!.

    Plus we've software to check out peeps.

    More often than not its just a little cop on.

    But it doesn't always work, I must have had 3 or 4 perma-ban's before I copped myself on and realized the value of boards.ie and what it had to offer - then after some time, what I had to offer it.

    So you can be a re-reg and still have an account on Boards (and even become a mod)?

    I always thought it was just IP address, or maybe if the person used the same email address when re-registering. I've often wondered what happens when you move apartment and your IP address changes, possibly to one being used by another Boards user (if you're moving into someone else's apartment, like). I'm not sure if that's how IP addresses work.

    As part of the training we spend a week on the side of a mountain with one of the founding members of boards. They are old and wise and speak in riddles. For the week the only food we can eat is troll meat. This gives you a good gut feeling for trolls.

    Saying that, some mods would eat anyone, so be warned.

    Well I'm being honest, a lot won't admit to a history of bannings and would rather keep a lid on it.

    What I'm saying is, a banning is crap but don't give up on boards - its a fantastic amenity for us all, it just takes some idiots like me a while to realize its value.. There must be a forum here for just about anything you'll ever want to know.. plus I've made a few solid friends among the many freaks here.

    IP addresses etc, tbh apart from it not being my place to post about 'em here - I simply don't know how that end of things work so I'd put it into someone else's hand.

    IP addresses wouldn't be much to go on considering some networks will give the same congested one to thousands of users .. ahem .. Three.

    Would think LSOs (cookies) and the like is where it's at these days.

    They stay on the ball with superior balance and footwork. A low centre of gravity helps. Micky Dolenz is actually Sergio Aguero.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,877 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    Does anyone ever read the Charter at the top of the page?

    One thing it says is no advocating criminality but I see criminality being advocated here quite often e.g. TV licence, household charge.

    No advocating criminality or violence



    Any threads or posts advocating illegal activities or asking for help in such activities will be deleted. Please do not attempt to advocate or incite criminality or violence as this is a bannable offence.

    I heard it's witchcraft.

    Burn 'em. BURN 'EM ALL!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    A lot of it is down to snitches, or as us Nordies say... Touts!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,237 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    I thought it was obvious. Mods get coke and hookers. While the hookers might tire them out, the coke is what keeps them on the ball.

    It's pretty simple really and any further theories are just idle speculation.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭Deus Ex Machina


    Yeah, they always catch trolls straight away.

    Modships in AH have been slipping of late no question about it, I've been on to Gordo to sort it out, perhaps even make me a mod. To be honest only El Pistolero is worthy of it in AH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭frank9901


    like gods they are everywhere


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,877 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    For anyone who doubts that the mods are on the ball have a look at this.

    They wouldn't speak in riddles if they sobered up once in a while.

    Ultra Magnus would be the greatest mod of all time, possibly only surpassed by the wisdom and justice that Optimus Prime could bring to the table.

    NOTE: This post was not motivated by latent homosexual urges for Optimus Prime.

    I have a blind dog. He'll bark twice if you are a troll and three times if you are just a stupid person. Good system.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    excellent balance from years of training
