Will you stop trying to become an AH mod please. I’ve found myself shouting at my screen twice this morning because of you! It just seems that you throw a load of words into a sentence in the hope it makes sense.

I've already suggested a youtube forum, people seemed to be in favour of it as a sticky instead, but just need for it to be setup I suppose

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054939031

Like you I find that AH is being bombarded by "you must see this" and the like, most of which is pure sh1t3 and belongs in the trash

I must say I don't understand the original post either.

What is this thread about? Are you wanting those 6 things to exist on AH or not to exist on AH?

The mods moderate these boards, they dont own them. Whats wrong with DB making a suggestion (and although it may sound a bit cynical, its actually spot on!)? Suggestions on how to stop AH being the stomping ground of every noob/lazy/"I wasn't getting enough replies in its correct forum" poster, sounds pretty good to me.

Ah I see.

1) Things that piss me off
- I don't think a whole forum for this is a good idea but you could try requesting it in the forum forum?

2) Funny Youtube stuff
- You know, I think there was a forum created ages ago for stuff like this. The initial reasons for having it was for people to share good links and sites for broadband. I'm fairly sure it's the broadband forum but it may have changed through time as I don't visit it.

3) The Big Debate Forum (debate anything fairly)
- Debate anything? I think that's the point of all fora but the topic fits the fora. Hence - if you want to debate something - goto the forum that the debate fits with.

4) Found this on the web wanted to share with everyone
- I think that could be an AH thing but I'm not sure.

5) My dilemma what should I do (We have PI)
- Yeah, probably PI.

6) Bit*h about foreigner
- Not going to happen, we won't have a bitch about foreigners forum.

And this is another example of your "properly constructed sentences"? Hmm....

We have a Forums forum for discussing new forums, so why do we need this thread in "After Hours"?

I had to read this twice to make sense of it. The grammatical structure of that query is wrong in so many ways.

Here are... not 'heres', even if 'here is' was correct it should read 'here's'.

The word is 'lose' not 'loose'
My team will lose the match if their clothing is loose.

Did you mean 'anything goes here' reputation?

Even that sentence is not correct! You ask aquestion but don't have a question mark. What's that about? You should also separate your query from your statement by use of a comma or semi-colon.

Other than that I still don't get what you are trying to say. What are you trying to say? Have you been smoking something?

Call me a pedant if you like but I like to read posts that are clearly legible.

Because you move anything that doesnt go, or at least complain about it, so its either anything goes or its not.

or maybe the post should have been made in that sticky at the top of the page.
you know the one. it's about what threads belong here and what should be done with the ones that don't.

it's called "moving threads" and it isn't about heart wrenching stories.

no, i dont.

see that thread at the top of the forum?
its called a discussion.

its about stuff like this.

seriously, i am starting to worry about you. you seem to read things completely arseways to what i say.

is it me? am i just not explaining myself? i know im not the most cohesive writer in the world, but i like to think i manage to get my point across eventually, but you just dont ever seem to understand me.
is it me? am i completely uncomprehensible to everyone?
