So lads, when are we going to have a beers?

Ariadne

I haven't been to a beers in years. Are the glory days of beers over? Would you go to an AH beers?

I'd go if the date suited. I'm in Cork but doubt a beers in Cork would happen, I may just have to venture up to the big smoke

Boards has a different vibe these days to 10 years ago. Even up to 5 or 6 years ago. Back in the day, there was a real sense of knowing other posters - like a wee community. So it was a fair bit of craic. These days with reregs (guilty) and older posters just leaving completely, you have a bunch of people hopping in and out rather than a collective of regular posters to keep a convo and a bit of banter going. Beers used to be a great way to meet some sound people you'd already got to know. It's different now. And I don't think there's a way to get that vibe back, it's just the way boards went. They opened it up more and thus more people joined which is grand, but it lost that community feel.

So, you're saying there's a chance?

Aongus Von Bismarck might turn up. Perusing the wine list looking for a bottle of something moderately acceptable.

Most boardsies are mere peasants to him so not sure if he'd fly over from Frankfurt for the occasion :P

I'll bring the cans.

I cant keep up now with some posters now, with some changing their names regulary, yes I know I have changed mine once, but that was only down to my first choice name becoming available again, after the great server crack/hack incident. Or, people being allowed to permanitly close their account and rereg a week later under a new name.

I might go to one if Outlaw Pete went and it was in Sligo. One of the orriginal best posters on the site, however, down to the above, am not sure if he is the orriginal, or someone else using his name after it became available again.

Have been to a few, one being a private forum meet up, and a regional one. Although both meets, half the talk was about boards.

BAM! uhavechlamydia

if there was one local enough, yeah maybe.... but travelling to Dublin or Sligo...not a hope ...and I'd say 90% of posters would feel the same, depending on their own locale

Do you think? I dunno. I'd say part of it is the change in users. People who would have been up for beers in the past are no longer members so it just stopped being popular. Another reason I think is it needs to come from a mod. If one of the AH mods started a thread to organise a night out then that might work. A third reason is I'd say a fair few posters here attend beers from other forums and private ones.

I do wonder if one was organised now would the only attendees be tumbleweeds.

The cork beers used to be good way back in the day. Only went to the Dublin one once

There is a core group of us on here that go once every 2 weeks (usually 10 to 12 of us).
Just kidding, I'm as lonely as you!

I'd say it'd actually improve the vibe here if everyone met up and had a few lemonades.

Do barrack st if you do. Tis handy to fire folk down the hill you don't like, with the old gravity you see.

Feck that Oliver plunkett st, with its flat even surface and trendy pub scene.
