What is your view on After Hours

OnTheCounter

Im just wondering what ye think of After Hours?

The popularity of the dental plan thread sums it up for me.

The more interesting discussions lose out quickly in favour of people having a pop at a gardas wife for complaining that she is not able to afford all the perks in life or for some reason being happy with someone elses misfortune.

Why do you post in after hours?

I post here because I have an old phone and the mobile site works well on it and eventually find myself in After Hours.

A lovely bunch of lads

HeyThereDeliah

Your phone makes you post in AH.

ballsymchugh

i just wish the religion/atheism threads were moved to their proper forums, just like any threads about dublin and dead celebrities

JohnMarston

It feels more casual and laid-back than other forums, able to have a laugh, and discuss a wider range of topics.

Of course, great bunch of lads

apart from one of two w*nkers

super_furry

If I want a serious discussion on anything else, I'll go to the other forums on the site. If I want a laugh, I'll go to After Hours.

the only complaint i have is not about the forum but about the people who constantly complain about the forum.
If you don't like it, then leave.

Makes me laugh when people get irate and p*ssy about an opinion they read on AH. Its the ultimate p*sstake forum, people should realise this and treat what they read as such. Pinch of salt required etc.

DENTAL PLAN!

Its great, but but allover the place and does seem to attract people who have a axe to grind or who have a fixation with certain groups in society...public services/immigrants/social welfare/Skanger's/the middle classes....people who who think they are funny and are not at all...people who are actually funny....men with various fixations about women...some nasty people some nice people...very right wing..propley mostly male and young

The thread about the gaurds family sums up the type who use the after hours the most because only a young single person could give some of the responses they do because they have no idea how much it costs to feed and educate a family with 4 or 5 children.

This makes me laugh also, people get so annoyed because someone dares to have a different opinion than theirs and really take it to heart. I mean it is After Hours wtf were you expecting.

I love it because of the lack of grammar and spelling police.

Needs more poo threads.

PizzamanIRL

To see people ask for advice on something that clearly shouldn't be in AH.

I just sit back and watch the AH advice come in

As already stated its more relaxed, light hearted and humorous than all the other forums. Which is exactly why certain topics should NEVER be open for discussion here, the recent April Jones case being a prime example. That thread was an absolute disgrace and never should have began, point proven by the fact its closed now.

If I never saw another Israel/Palestine thread I'd be happy - same folks, same arguments and boy does it get petty.

AH - the Friday Night in Coppers of Boards. (or is it Thursday?)

I don't always get why people want threads closed. It's what everyone is talking about, there will always be some negative opinions but its the same in RL.
Yes family and friends might read it but they could read worse in the paper.

Feels like on 8 year long stretch of living with a few thousand housemates who are always in the front room when you wake up. You're glad of the company and chat but sometimes wish they'd piss off and leave you the remote.

Did you actually read the thread? it seemed to open the gates to an audience of absolute screwballs, many with their own insane theories of what happened.

40 posts per page tends to be shorter here than other places.

Thinly veiled about three fiddy.... or something, I don't know. I feel dirty now for saying that.

Absolute screwballs with their own insane theories on things is the life blood of AH, it's what makes it such a hilarious and intetesting forum to be part of.

I read it and posters came up with their own theories, yes we speculated on what might have happened, what else did you expect from the thread, it would have been the same no matter where it was posted.

Is RL not the same because for me it is, we talked about it at work and yes we might have said some things that were not nice.

I like after hours cause people thank my posts.

Riddle101

After Hours is one of the few threads I post on regulary on boards. It's great for the banter and the laugh. But a bit judgemental IMO.

DyldeBrill

Good bunch of heads here! Often find myself laughing at the screen with the shíte that is written on here. Few eejits that hate life, but other than that its aaalll gooood!

Could be a great forum - some very interesting topics/discussions, some great funny, sharp, intelligent contributors; even occasional funny trolls. But it's ruined by thicks.

It's not the open minded liberal talk shop it was intended to be.
The standards in moderation vary too widely, some of the mods get it but sadly there's a few who just delight in closing threads to wallow in the thanks whoring of their sewing circle.
Boards is a wonderful mine of information & a great debating forum but for real humour there's far more suitable sites.

I like it except for all the posters to try to be witty/funny and fail 90% of the time

I used to spend an awful lot of time mooching around AH, and Boards.ie in general.

Took a break for over a year. Recently came back, and currently not that impressed. Not what it used to be like, and all that.

Ah damnit, I've spilled nostalgia all over the place.

Madam_X

Doubt it was ever intended to be anything, just hoped not to be infested with mentalists. Sadly hopes aren't always fulfilled.

I have a few questions for you Moo.

1) How high is this horse you are currently on? Please give your answer in imperial measurements.

2.

i) How are on After Hours on a high horse? Smartphone? Laptop?
ii) Are you effectively able to ride a high horse and post on boards at the same time or does the horse have to remain stationary?
iii) How is the Wi-Fi signal being up on a high horse?

I'm looking forward to your answer Moo.

:cool:

Lurked on here for years, always a great read and laugh.

One name and one thread sums AH up for me and that's Feeky McGee and his grinds teacher.

What's going on with the dental plan? My choppers are grand so I never really had a look at it.
