    I won't tell a lie....It's because I post here and I have a wide and varied fan base:D

    Because any old thread is allowed, doesn't have to be topic-specific. Even asking why this board is popular is allowed.

    Found a loose thread on your clothing. No worries, it can be spun into a chat on After Hours..

    Because the moderators are less strict
    The superb puns


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,041 ✭✭✭who the fug


    cause it is pub/coffee morning/Joe Duffy/P45 lite place on Boards

    Because the whackiest stories (and posters) are to be found there.

    because race car


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    The foxy nude pictures. Obviously you'll have to PM the Mods for access.

    AH is great, unlike the Hunting and Shooting thread with their nude pictures of foxes. Sickos.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    Hmmm...why is the only general topic forum, that doesn't specifically cater for one particular gender/age or another, the most popular on boards....I give up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭rusty_racer94


    Because at university someone built a machine that molested children
    They studied Savile engineering..

    I tried burning a thread off a jacket once. That was a dumb idea.

    I mostly post here and everyone loves Panda


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 295 ✭✭shrewd


    Because the moderators are less strict
    because it's After Hours












    i think it's because it's
    not a topic-specific forum.

    a forum that will guarantee you humorous threads and replies.

    less strict moderators


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    Because people don't like to take themselves too serious and like to talk ****e so this place is perfect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,969 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    I love AH

    You can read about people's bowel habits, kids getting punched in the face, people's crazy flatmates, favourite joke/food/drink, how do you sleep, how many **** a day you have and so on

    What's not to love...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 290 ✭✭Atomicjuicer


    Because El Weirdo is great
    Because people don't just want the opinions of niche, category dwellers when they start a particular topic.

    On that note moderators should only be allowed to mod spam and fights. Normally they abuse the hell out of their authority and should all be banned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭Big Bottom


    There is some fun characters on here and the topics are gas sometimes!

    There is always something to make you laugh on after hours, it's good to have a little laugh day so I try to pop in most days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 215 ✭✭Furious_George


    I actually hate AH with a passion but im bloody addicted to it :-(. Ive closed accounts and had breaks from it but i keep coming back. I wish there was a patch or something. Quitting smokes was way easier

    Nah, the Mustard forum is where it's at! :cool:

    I only post here to ban people so I can save them from having to post here.
    Terrible place.

    I love the sound advice, budgeting tips, down home economics and total lack of any far right rascist abuse coupled with an enormous level of flirting, fighting, nit picking and winding up. All human life is here, it's like Cheers, but without Ted Danson. Or Norm, but we do have Biggins, Starbelgrade, Teddy, Bollocko, some birds(who are all lovely and have long legs) and Diego Maradonna. AH is like a comfy chair in the pub, except all your mates hate you, are blind, and just want a fight, which is grand, and can be fun. I have also discovered far too much about deviant behaviour here but I apologise for those posts. Edit: where else would you get a girl in striped socks fighting with a man in Havana?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,016 ✭✭✭Hulk Hands


    Because at times it can be hilarious. What would make it even better was if mods constantly deleted the numerous thanks whoring unfunny jokes and just left in the gems and serious posts about the topic

    Some say he was here before boards.ie and the internet machine.

    Others that he invented all the World's religions whilst asleep.
