    Seems like it would just better to announce whatever it is on the day instead of giving a mod his own vanity thread.

    So it was wind a up.

    I'm not whining, I've got my own reasons as to why tomorrow is gonna be a happy day.
    You could've just posted an announcement as per normal on the front page, wouldve got more positive feedback than what has transpired.
    Now you've wound up half the site unnecessarily so.

    Hiding behind the "it's AH" line is a poor move at this point. This has been a mess of a thread and like it or not, has probably annoyed a lot of posters just a little more about the site as a whole.

    If you/the rest of the team can't see that, then it's even more of an own goal than I thought.

    This all reads as a gag that backfired. How about just calling a spade a spade, accept that many didn't get it or find it funny and just close the thing?

    Delete this thread and let's pretend it never happened. That's surely the best option here.

    Wait a minute I made it clear that some people wouldn't like the announcement!
    Also the mods get enough hassle for closing threads.

    Boards equivalent of "nuke it from orbit".

    At least I can add mods to my ignore list.

    That's a plus.

    I'm in two minds : I have eggs and all, but I've no baking chocolate for to make a cake.
    I could do a Madeira/sponge type cake, with Nutella or jam or something.
    OR ...
    I could go for an apple crumble.

    Not sure.

    I got very excited when I saw the title change to AH Day.
    I genuinely thought it was going to be a meet up arranged like was being discussed in the What Boardsie would you like to spend a day with? thread.
    Then..the confusion set in.
    Then..the disappointment.
    Now..the rage!

    To thine own self be true

    So, let's be honest. Were you being serious? It doesn't read as such in the slightest but you then persist by posting this reply.

    No one is upset by the thread, it's just a ridiculously stupid, unfunny thread that's getting more cringeworthy by the minute.

    It has got to the point where it's doing AH no favours.
