After Hours - Only Moaners Need Apply?

imme

After Hours seems to have gotten petty moany.

It used to be more lighthearted, sometimes thoughtful.

Maybe I'm misremembering the past. :eek:

And angry it's all very angry around here.

Don't post in moany threads. Problem solved.

I hate when people put AH down.

'What did you expect from AH?' etc.

Its a great forum, with great people and theres a few bad eggs, such is life.

Pwindedd

Or when people add absolutely nothing to the thread and merely pick on someone for something trivial like a word choice, or point of reference. Has happened to me twice this week...? Reasoned debate is great altogether, but some people just want to make themselves feel superior.

The best way to counteract it is to start a thread moaning about it

Almost all of After Hours is moany these days.
Moany, hopeless, ugly and angry, is this what we've become.:(

I remember the good old days when you could post hardcore midget porn, talk about being in the RA and sell drugs openly to one another.

I don't agree. I have great fun here. There's always something silly to get involved in. Look a bit harder

This!

You get out what you put in, if you're lighthearted and can take a joke then its great. If you're mean and rude to people, expect the same back.

Larianne

Need to bring back the flirting.
Make people happy.


I think AH tends to reflect the mood of the nation. We're a bit angry at the mo.
Think we just need a new 'epic' thread to keep up all entertained and destressed.

Rothko

AH has always been a bit moany.

Also, it's kinda funny that you're moaning about other people moaning.

BandyMandy

I love a "bitch" thread.......... We can't be all sunshine and rainbows!

Aren't you getting married on Saturday? AH expects a live thread on the big day!

(see, OP? non-moany human interaction. )

Im pretty sure 99% of posters would avoid AH like the plague that day.

I do have a boardsie table though

Have to agree. It does seem to be angrier than usual recently. Blob City, population: yous.

It's still all fields, just that now there's a fat bloke in his underpants sitting in the middle with an iPad.

Mr. CooL ICE

I've said it before and I'll say it again. AH is great if you switch your brain off. Luckily, mine is switched off all the time.

AH has always been moany..

For as long as I've been on boards, there has always been a non stop torrent of bitching, whining, pitchfork grabbing and "down with this sort of thing" type threads.

Rabble rabble rabble... Politicians being paid too much... Drugs.... Abortion... Taxes... Taxies.. Foreigners ... Religion.... This is not a Dublin forum... Rabble...

It's where a disproportionate amount of Keyboard warriors with too much free time hang out and spew their opinions (often presented as fact) at the internet..
Possibly in some kind of vain, ill guided hope that it'll either change the world, change someone else's opinion, or just change how annoyed they are with their life that they have all of this free time to spend on boards.

Most of the time, posting on any kind of a serious thread in AH is like pissing into a river..... Of piss.

It's only redeeming feature is that occasionally there is a moment of sheer brilliance that erupts from the chaos...

It just shows how much any of the long standing AH mods support really support this site..

They not only have to collectively read most of the madness... But in some way try to direct this rabble of stampeding cats away from anything that breaks the rules or gets the site in trouble..

I would rather have my genitals attacked by cheesegrater wielding feminists than mod this forum.



Having said all that... This is where I post more than anywhere else... So go figure.

poundapunnet

I think it's actually better than it was a few years ago.

Sometimes when I log on in the morning I just look for the longest thread with the most innocent seeming title and click to the last page to see what sh1tstorm has kicked off. Stops me from becoming jaded and thinking I've seen everything because you can click into 'which is the best colour skittle?' and the last post will be 'what would a Cavan bastard like you know about boats anyway' or something.

Some major unprovoked vitriol here all right - towards individuals or races or genders, whatever. But it's also got great topics/discussions/writers. Good forum in fairness - pity about the bad bits; they can be quite OTT!

Nah, of course it is. I love the gaf. I wouldn't be still posting if I didn't. Some sound people (going by their posts) in here.

AH is grand most of the time, but there are a few people who take it way too seriously, getting into discussions that are intensely personal to them. That said I think it has been fairly light hearted as of late, or maybe I've only been posting in the light hearted threads.

Ted_YNWA

Everyone loves a good moan.

Sure didn't our Lord himself create Moanday right after "his" day.

OP it's not my fault Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam, we can't all be cheery little souls. Feck off to the sunshine and lollipops forum to the rest of the freaks socially well-adjusted people and leave us alone in our grumpy and bitter rut:p

I'm not moaning just pointing this out.

In a way this points out the nature of the internet and the way people use the internet.

Do we think about what we post or do we just respond and then think about it.

Post, post, post, ask questions later. :cool:

I'm for a more thoughtful and thought about internet.

That will be my platform for election.:cool:

gugleguy

and well positioned trolls. Although I found a thread (started about a smartphone repair operation) on another forum (a region) which was fun to watch, PM me for the link.
So yeah, if I can find funnier stuff elsewhere on boards, I'll spend less time in boring, moany AH. AH now even has a thread "The most Uninteresting fact of the day".
