A golden age for AH?

    The quality of threads here lately is exceptional. I remember when I first joined these parts the place was overrun with mundane PC "old" posters mumbling the same dribble about "trolls today aren't the same" "AH has really gone downhill" "this thread has been done to death" "the place was so much better before"

    What happened AH? Why you get so good all of a sudden? :)

    Have to laugh when someone with a join date only two years ago starts talking about the 'golden age' of a site that's been here 16 years. :pac:

    Why don't you throw in a tired old anecdote about Bubbles, Lan parties, facekicker, coke and hookers, or 4 am backups while you're at it?

    I agree with the OP. Detest when the auld codgers show up adorning bollocks tinted glasses shiteing on about the quality of threads.

    Its a lot better than it was, say 5 years ago. More civil, less repetitive and calmer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    way to go OP. By mentioning a golden age you have just ruined it.

    Coincidentally the school summer holidays have recently ended.

    Do people not think the posters are the same ones over and over but just, perhaps, re regging? With the odd new person thrown into the mix.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    It’s my Luke Skywalker Jedi like presence on boards.

    God forbid :p

    I think a lot of people don't understand the concept of someone closing their account because they're bored of boards and then coming back a while later. It seems to scare a few people here.


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

    Overrated

    You can take him off now. He is unlikely to come back any time soon.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭Davarus Walrus


    Who's flutt...?

    A man who liked regular bowel movements, mustard coloured slacks, and value for money for the wedge of money John Q. Taxpayer hands over to revenue.

    A poster who could make a description of him having a ****e sound like a beautifully written piece of literature.

    Some clown who spent most of his time being obnoxious and talking about taking dumps. Only bad thing about him being banned is the incessant reminiscing about him in all these threads as if he's some sort of folk hero.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    I blame whoopsiedaisydoodles myself, it takes a great woman with lovely breasts to run this place properly. and also the other mods, whoever they are.

    Great men with lovely breasts, for the most part.

    The club still meet, very few left. A minute silence under the great bell tower just before 3am.












    Actually, just me standing under the clock at 3am...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,293 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I've only been here for 4 years and i don't think it's changed at all. A few great threads every now and again, but mostly nonsense with the same threads popping up time and time again.

    Rereg. Some of us have been around much longer than you think. I'm actually biggins, before that I was run_to_the_hills. Sure kids these days wouldn't be interested in boards, they're all on those newfangled sites like bebo and myspace, if it wasn't for reregs the place would be empty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    Please nobody mention those stupid cards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭ghogie91


    back in the day this was alot more PC which I think was dry banana

    Now its brilliant, even with the repeat threads there a bitta craic that would give ya a laugh.

    2 Years ago if a repeat thread came up there be a million people banned for abusing OP.

    Was he "that" wedding guest ;-)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    In the 4 years I've been here I'm not sure if it's changed much but I have definitely changed a lot.
