Boards challenge

    I challenge each of ye to try the following: Go to a forum you never ever frequent, say hi and mingle.

    Get out there and meet your fellow boardsies! Not everyone comes into this forum so imagine all the characters (and potential friends?) you're missing out on.

    I'm sure our boards brethren will welcome the AH influx with open arms. We can make this a better site for everybody.

    So what's stopping you?

    I was hoping my OP would be all the inspiration one would need. I have failed.

    Even better again, turn off the computer, phone, tablet etc and get out and mingle with REAL people!

    The mountain does not come to Mohammed. The rest of boards knows where AH is if they reckon they are able
    for it.

    The ban hammer.

    I chat in about six or seven forums. That's enough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,400 ✭✭✭Medusa22


    I'm just too lazy to bother venturing into other forums, sometimes I have a look in the LGBT forum but that's about it. I don't like change!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    If I get banned from the pregnancy forum I'm blaming you OP!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Fleawuss


    Who are you trying to get rid of OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    Ugh, but then I'd have to read the other charters!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭dandyelevan


    I strayed onto the 'Anything creepy or unnerving happen to you' Section, and got attacked by some lurking Ageist Klingons and a few stalkers who told me to 'fkuc off back to the Creative Writing Forum...etc.
    (Won't be venturing in there again)

    They were just afraid you'd show them all up; creative wrting is the foundation of that section.

    The sheep forum

    I have grown attached to my kidneys.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭dandyelevan


    Tried it OP and I'm back...whew...
    First, I went to the Farming Section an' some guy wanted to know how long 3 tonne o' beet would last 30 sheep? (Jeez...it depends how hungry the woolly ****ers are I guess?) Jeez...talk about silly questions? (What the **** is Beet anyways?) Needless to say I didn't hang about for the next question...(Probably How long would a tablet o' Heineken last if you threw it to fifteen hairy Bikers?)

    Was just in the door of the Shooting Section an' guess what?
    Some clown took a shot at me with a .302 Deer Rifle mounted on a bi-pod! (Shudda warned me OP, them's dangerous folks.)

    Lastly t'was the Aviation Section (I think three trips is enough for one night)
    I got aerial sickness after a few minutes and had to leave.

    Sorry OP, but I DID try.

    (Shudda warned me OP, them's dangerous folks.)

    Look, I'm not gonna lie there's some rough areas of boards. You like the wrong post, quote the wrong person and *bang across the head* You've invited a world of hurt... But they're few and far between. If in doubt stay on the more popular forums or buddy up with another AHer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭dandyelevan


    Ahh, the old buddy system (Jeez...why didn't I think of that?)

    Who's comin' with me to the Pregnancy Section...with maybe a little raid on Beer Guts & Receeding Hairlines on the way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Went to "All the Way Round"(no idea) three years since the last post so made my excuses and left.
