    You have to laugh at what after hours has become, gone are the days when you can make a snarky remark or sassy comment that might offend some one without receiving a warning because some lil punk deems your comment offensive.

    Well after hours / boards.ie I shall not be part of this **** fest anymore.

    Yor Ma.I believe is one of the correct responses.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    On the old AH it might have been but I'm pretty sure these days warrants a card or action of some kind.

    OP: Agreed, but I think it's been made pretty clear after 5~ years of micromanagement that the "have a bit of craic, and if you don't like it f*ck off" AH of the 2000s will never again be tolerated, despite the obvious fact that it got significantly more traffic (and thus must surely have generated more ad revenue) than the current sanitised "discuss everything with sincerety and don't you dare crack a sick or off-colour joke" version.

    It'd be nice if OPs like this had any impact on Boards policy, but we already know they don't, alas.

    As does saying you'll forcibly expel urine over someone.

    Don't think these things get actively carded these days tbh, but could easily be proved wrong.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Eight years ago: A simple test of the power of the human mind...

    A few weeks ago: The power of the human mind.


    I tested After Hours to see if a joke could still be told, and well, it can't. Eight years ago, it was "ah you got me". Now, even though my opening post was utter nonsense, it turned into five pages of serious discussion. I didn't have the heart to tell them.

    Ah, the OP doesn't remember when Terry and Dudess were moderators here, now they were fecking terrorists.

    Terry was an alco who went on a banning binge (along with the gargle) every night, more or less from about 10pm onwards and left a scorched AH in his wake.

    Nah, over moderating isn't killing forum like this ~ other social media outlets is (imo).

    You also just have to know how to play the game here, read the thread titles and know which one's to avoid taking you down the rabbit hole.

    I could hardly tell you one moderator username here right now, so either they're doing something right ~ or I am, probably a combination of both.
