Would you close down your boards account for €350?

    Would you do it? Closing down your account would also mean you could never, never, ever visit boards.ie ever again. No going back but the cash would be in your hand.

    Yes I would do it where can I collect my payment?

    No
    Why €350?

    Probably not. €350 wouldn't change my situation much. Not being able to visit boards would deprive me of an interesting resource.

    No
    i would close it for a tenner (and a handjob)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 382 ✭✭Blue Crystal

    No Atari jaguar option?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    No I couldn't do it for a mere €350. I'm a Celtic Tiger kid, I've a big fat sense of entitlement. So I ask myself, what's the minimum I would close it for? Ummmmm.... €3,339 is more on the money :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭ColeTrain

    No, the opinions, debates and general camaraderie of boards, particularly AH, mean too much to me. I could never part with it.


    SERIOUSLY, GIVE ME MY MONEY. NOW.

    You've both just been added to the 'boards little black book of enemies'. You're not getting a cent either.

    Why €350?

    Why not €350? I thought it was a figure that could spark debate and there's a joke affiliated with it. Double win as far I was concerned.

    Will this positively affect my chances of being made a mod at some stage in the future? :pac:

    Yes. Several times. Many multiple times in fact.

    Of course, a special book for a special guy.

    Do you have that many accounts?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    OP ... is it an offer or just another pointless thread ?

    why not put a poll of how much people would accept to leave boards ? ...proper options.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,902 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Hmmmmmm...for tree fiddy

    I'll get back to you OP...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    For €3,50, yes I would.

    If I could visit but never set up another account to post from, then yes I would. But for €350 no, I would not agree to never visit boards again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,006 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    No
    and a handjob

    Off just anyone, yeah? :eek:

    So by 350 to close an account you dont actually mean 350 to close an account, you mean stop visiting boards ?

    I'd take the 350, close the account and be back instantly with you non the wiser.

    If anyone's actually interested, I'll pay €5 via paypal for any account with over 1,000 posts.

    Oh no, I didn't realise AH suddenly required all subject for discussion to be of serious import.

    When was that brought in?

    I'd close my account for a choc ice.

    Might want to point out where the relevant point is there?

    Asking a purely hypothetical, but nontrivial question doesn't seem to be against the rules.

    I've been considering closing my account for some time now, and for free, just not happy with the way the place is run, if someone was to give me 350 aswell, no brainer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet


    No
    I wouldn't even hesitate.

    I've spent time on lots of different forums; heck some of them even used the exact same BBCode software. These sites are always a self-perpetuating catch-22.

    People come to them because they are popular.
    They are popular because people come to them.

    I'd just go to some other site. Things are pretty much exactly the same, especially in After Hours.

    I'd leave for 100 euro and never come back.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824


    If I was given the money, I'd close it straight down then feck 'an with meself to Reddit.
    Very similar to this anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,339 ✭✭✭Artful_Badger

    That'd be in the title of the post I linked to in the charter. "No pointless, threads, posts or polls". In relation to your rebuttal of a poster who said it was pointless and your argument that you wernt aware everything had to be serious on AH or when this rule was brought in.

    Like I said I was just sayin, it would hardly be the first pointless thread in AH but there was something brought in in 2009 to that effect it seems.

    Not serious != pointless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,283 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Damn Loch Ness Monster, don't be askn me for no threefidy, I would close my account if someone kills Rob Schneider right now, oh I want a pot roast too.

    Dee derp dee derp dee diddly derp.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,339 ✭✭✭Artful_Badger

    So why you telling someone it doesnt have to be serious when they said it was pointless ??

    Look it, I really dont care. All I seen was someone say it was pointless, you argue that it doesnt matter unless of some rule you missed and I linked to rule saying no pointless posts. It really doesnt warrant a full blown argument....

    Not for €350.

    For €3500+ though id give it serious consideration and would only consider staying off it for 6 months max. For a five figure sum i would but would only agree to stay off it for 12 months max.

    6 figure sum upwards though and id wish all you boardsies the very best :D
