Boards Beers 27th July

From my memory of them even though After Hours was nearly always the highest traffic forum the AH beers had the lowest attendance by a good margin. Maybe because of the generalist subject matter there's less of a community? The biggest beers were from more community shared interest type forums.

Went to one years ago, it was actually great craic. There's was always a decent turnout

It would just turn into a vigilante marauding mob. Turfing scumbags out of council houses, shaking down dole scroungers with the audacity to drink, killing people on suspended sentences, torching halting sites, deporting junkies, showing immigrants the boat and not making insurance claims!

No it wouldn't it would just be a load us giving out about those things, not doing anything about them, drinking lots and then going to home to masturbate while crying.

Or to put it another way, a standard night out for me.

Sounds like a top class night.

Aye, would agree with you there Wibbs. Been to 3 meetups with the Forum Games crew myself, have been very enjoyable affairs. The first one I had a bit of trepidation, but genuinely have met some really nice and friendly people at them that I'd talk to off site on a regular basis now.

As AH is so general there's probably less of a 'common ground' per se for conversation starters.

Usually after the first drink or 2 the common ground is easy enough to find anyway. Although with AH your less likely to recognise someones username as you would with other forums within boards

Could do something other than a beers? Like a games night or a stroll or somesuch? There can still be beer of course, for those who need it for social lubricant..

We play games at Forum Games meet ups.

Why not introduce a bukkake round? Always very popular at Eton when Nanny went home

There used to be an After Hours' annual soggy biscuit night AFAIK but eventually no one could agree on the biscuit so it was canned.

MrCostington · 25-07-2019 12:27PM

What about the venue?

How about the Dean Hotel, I'm sure we will have a swinging time there!

JupiterKid · 25-07-2019 12:27PM

Well people...can we agree on a date and venue and run with it?

Or, y'know, it could also be because AH is full of mouthy keyboard warriors who'd shrivel up and die if they actually had to stand over any of their edgelord rantings in person.

Just a thought...

Ive been to a few meet ups, great fun

I was supposed to go to a mods meet up once.

Then I realised these were people who moderated other folks' Internet posts as a hobby, and would have been unimaginably fussy, a veritable den of social awkwardness. So no, I don't quite get the boards beers thing. There are plenty of people here I'd like to have (and have had) a pint with, but I'm not sure about à room of boardsies.

Hate this reaction to someone having the temerity to suggest an activity as well as beers.

I think it’s a great idea.

Suggesting an activity other than beers is great, I'd love it if people could manage it without a snide superior comment at the end though.

Today yeah I could see that D, but ten years ago when it was much more laid back and jokey a forum?

The first beers I went to was a mod beers and TBH I expected the same, but while yeah there were a couple of people like that alright and they tended to hang out together, but most weren't at all like that. I was quite surprised if I'm honest. There was probably some internal selection thing going on too I suppose. IE the socially awkward were much less likely to attend something like that in the first place, so they were filtered out.

If it's an AH beers we should probably make it peasant shooting though.

Ya its mostly this. I've said it million times and seen it enough that some the ones with the biggest personas online are nothing in person!

Well you can never trust the Irish weather so that could be an onion in the ointment boom.. Still a good idea mind. 19 years since I've been hunting, a friend brought me deerstalking*. We spotted one anyhows and yer man stupidly hands me the long. So there's me, trying to steady my shot when something spooked the young stag. Instinctively, I dropped the rifle, whipped out a trusty Kel Tec pmr30 from me waistband and stuck 18 slugs in rapid succession into the fûcker. The stag ran away unharmed thank god, I unfortunately got 8years for voluntary manslaughter.

*May not be true.
