    What's a meme?

    Oh, don't bother... *logs out*

    Opposite to a youyou

    They are refering to /b/, which is a forum (you could probably describe it as) on another site. It's where most of the memes have come from e.g. Pedobear - but they also have an "everything goes" attitude too.

    I really hope AH doesn't become like /b/
    A meme is another word for an internet craze - something viral, which everyone talks about.

    I’m learnding!

    As another poster has said, if you wish to search for it, be prepared to see A LOT of porn.

    4chan (more so /b/) has been a really lame place to be since i dunno when. I used to post their over the years but couldnt be bother in the last year or two. Its a dump of a site thats full of over used memes and idiots who think they are "cool" for ruining the lives of other people. (some deserve it, some just dont)

    Saying all that tho, had some funny moments on there but I wouldnt insult boards.ie by saying they are even similar. Even AH isnt that bad, and it can be pretty bad sometimes.. :rolleyes: But its like meth, you just keep coming back to it and having a laugh most of the times :p

    /b/ is like the mental asylum of the internet. A mental asylum with a lot of porn and gore pictures.


    I can understand the porn but why does anyone find gore pics appealing?:confused:

    i ventured over there.. yeah, thats right.. i had a snoop at /b/.. more than once.


    i was too afraid to click into any of the threads..

    there's no way ah can become like /b/, this place is modded to the bollocks.(thankfully) :)

    sorry true, i meant just AH

    a lot of intentional troll threads lately!

    And ain't none of 'em shut.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 355 ✭✭I_AmThe_Walrus


    Dunno, it can be irritating at times but...well to be honest I'm a hypocrite when it comes to this. Like if everyone rips the píss out of one thing I'll join in and then get all moral highground ish if they joke about something I think is in bad taste...and I'm not the only one.

    I suppose the bottom line is, on AH even if there are 10 trollish, pointless threads, there'll be at least one where people are engaging in proper, no nonsense debate...whereas /b/ is just a complete and utter 24/7 písstake.

    Basically, here is worth ten of there imo.

    Edit, to the posters above, he's referring to /b/, which is a part of 4chan. Basically a more extreme version of AH, completely no holds barred and no intelligence at all.

    The chonz is nothing like AH. Boards is 24/7 nanny time...for disagreeing with someone you get banned....a load of old cock and balls.

    The chonz is 24/7 p!sstake, and thats why you love it. ;)

    EDIT: you fv(king chantard!

    For those of you who have never visited the dark side, don't.

    It can ruin your life.

    After hours definitely is.

    When a thread appears people look to find a way to scrutinize it in anyway and usually find a flaw through means that arn't worth posting. Mainly Spelling, grammar or tl;dr. Which tbh leads me to believe most of the posters are better off just playing with a set of dangling keys.

    But those posts never lead to some of the lawls /b/ has offered unfortunately.

    Ironically enough . . . I totally disagree with that. You only get banned for being a twunt. And even bigger twunts then complain about being banned because of boards being like a nanny state.

    Yes, just like everyone loves this guy:

    True in a few ways, there's a lot of nobs waiting to pounce on a flaw, you could acutally look at some posters history and that's all they do. And not valid flaw either, minor ones.

    But sure it's the school holidays...

    BS.

    Threads are closed for the simplest thing. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing because boards.ie is essentially an intelligent forum where those seeking advice come to obtain it.

    Asking advice from /b/ is utterly hopeless unless you're a) a female with boob pics, b) have a question about sex and you're a female with boob pics or c) you want to see /b/'s cocks and you're a female with boob pics.

    I don't want boards to ever turn into what /b/ is. Two completely different websites with completely different agenda's and ideas. Let's keep it that way.

    For arguments sake, let's compare the two....

    Okay, first page of AH:

    *Ireland, highest emigration rate in E.U
    *Hunt for Brit over Spain shooting
    *Afghan war logs

    So, that's some pretty serious stuff and it warrants some pretty serious replies.

    Now let's look at the ****stain of the internet.

    Okay, first page of /b/:

    *Should I fv(k my cousin rant (long)
    *Where can I find pedophilia crap
    *Show your ass thread
    *I am disappoint game
    *Princess Toadstool naked
    *Pic of guy with marshmallow in his anus
    *Che Guevara with an Irish flag in the background (obvious troll **** storm)
    *Die n!ggers die
    *Voyeur pics of unsuspecting teacher
    *Replace a word in a film title for the word "n!gger". 1st Post: Return of the n!gger. 2nd Post: The Lord of the n!ggers. 3rd Post: n!gger n!gger n!gger n!gger.

    /b/ is trolls trolling trolls. AH is a more relaxed experience with REAL information from REAL people.

    So, yeah....AH is nothing like /b/.

    Or untypical.

    Or a teacher.

    *Show your ass thread

    This is awesome!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    i think you're taking the comparison a bit too literally walrus...

    No, Adam, I completely agree with you. The reason for comparing the two was in response to someone who said AH and /b/ were similar and it's not true.

    However, AH has become a little more lenient in the last couple of weeks...perhaps an absence of mods?

    Love /b

    Thankfully here is not like that, nor will it ever be. Still, god laughs over there, when they aren't completely mindless


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    I was banned from this site for the last month and needed my fix of insanity so I turned to /b/, I was there as the whole "Dun Goofed" episode unfolded, I followed the masses into UStream and other video sites - I roared "shoe on head" and when the shoe did indeed go on the head I rolled around the floor laughing, great times BUT I think I'm hooked and boards.ie wont be the same for me anymore.

    I want my #2 post to always be "OP is a fag", I want to start threads in AH about newfags not being able to triforce etc etc.

    But back on topic yeah this place is becoming more and more like /b/ everyday with its "you laugh you loose", "you fall in love you loose" threads and every cool link/video being posted on boards.ie minutes after being posted on /b/.

    OP is a fag :pac:

    Yup...chances are you will have illegal stuff on your screen if you go into /b/ but meh you arent clicking on it. Go there, start a new thread about your computer being slow or something and I GUARENTEE you 1st responce will be "delete system32". That bunch of trolls are predictable...
