After hours no longer a safe place for irreverent humour.

I have already pointed out my reasons why I think such a request would not go through but it's okay you prefer the place is now with your salty responses and serious discussion so it's all good, no point repeating ourselves.

Mmm. Salty responses on pigheads.
That's how it used to work right? Random nonsensical responses.

You'll never bring the banter back if you get your nose out of joint that easy. Has it occurred to anyone that their own sense of humour has changed in the last 15 years? I hope mine has.

Christ on a bike. I'm glad boards isn't as conservative as the 'old skoolers' would like it to be!

No not at all, Pigheads responses had wit and flair which made the amusement.

Ah well that's me out then

A shame you might have been fun 15 years ago.

No. I've always stood firmly against craic

I am proposing the sense of humour on After Hours should be more liberal as it was in the past and not as conservative as it is now so I don't understand why you are complaining how conservative it is?

Conservative with a small 'c'. Conservative in the philosophical sense like when Bill O'Reilly says everything was better in the past. The way forward is by going backwards. That type of conservative. No thanks.

I saw.

And I'm totally offended.

A leather shoe?

Boards has less posters now than before because of saturation. If you're online you will have Calls, Texts, Snapchat, Reddit, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Podcasts, YouTube ect. There's only so much anyone can devote themselves to the auld Boards ect. online.

Because of this thread I went through my old posts 5 years ago. One of the reasons I quit out of my old account for a fair while was because of a 3 day mod ban that I could have argued against rightfully but couldn't bother at the time, or now. My posts do seem to be way more off the wall then than now as well though. Far more nonsense and less about sense then.

All I can say now is my posting here has dropped off like a cliff in the last year and I think that's simply because I can express myself easier elsewhere. That might be a sh1ty answer, but its the case with me anyway.

I'm not exactly an expert on this, but bear with me. As I understand it, Queer is partly a reclamation of the word from an insult, much like "gay" itself has been. It also stands for people of a non-binary gender/sexual orientation (I'm not 100% on whether it covers both gender and orientation or just one of them).

The & is all the other letters that can be associated on, of which A is one (Asexual). Technically, yes, I think it can be used to encompass pretty much everyone with a bit of poking.

Oh, regarding the lesbian/gay thing. Yeees, gay is used to mean just homosexual, so male and female. However, it's often used to mean gay men. Most people can cope with gay men these days, but people seem oddly confused by gay women, so the term is probably as much of an "oy, yes, we do exist" to the people that think only men are gay!

Grand, back to straight and queer so, much easier.

I wanted to thank this post because it made me chortle. But then I thought "Oh no! What if other boardsies see my thanks and think I'm an intolerant, anti-gay fascist or whatever? I'd better not thank it."

Decided to thank it after all :cool:

Should you give two fcks what others think of you? I think i'll give it a supportive thanks even though I don't disagree or agree.

When you have reams of man child posters running in the background to mods like schoolchildren and embarrassing themselves by announcing to the rest of the thread : "Post reported" .... What do you expect ? The likes of PigHead, Snyper, Flutterinbantim etc. wouldn't last too long here nowadays I reckon.

Snyper hasn't got a card since 2008.

Amazing what a name change and not posting can do.

I always imagine Nicolas Cage in a darkened room typing feverishly while modding his favourite Irish forum, the only source of light being the reflection of the moon off his Oscar which he miraculously has to his name.
