    Let's have a financial news related megathread. No need for different recession threads cluttering this forum.

    I just had a peep and I'm dazed by the lights, smells and general postdiluviality of it all.

    Don't go there.

    Simple solution to a simple problem.

    Merge all the doom and gloom / I hate bankers / dole scroungers/ RECESSION!!!111! threads in to one massive mega thread. Do that to each new thread that opens up.

    It'd be like a super thread full of despair and doom.

    I thought about making a thread like this, but judging by the amount of politics related threads I figured its the mods that want it this way :rolleyes:

    Yeah, people certainly love to rant and moan more than post about the fluffier side of life I guess. We can talk about fluff to anyone. Moaning and ranting is easier on the net.

    I'm on my way. If we ignore this crap, it'll just go away. We're all feeeding the recession troll too much recently.

    From here on out, I'm going to carry a big mallet around with me and whack anyone who says anything to me about nama, bailouts, bond markets or cheese.

    How come two seasoned posters have totally misinterpreted the meaning of "Cool story, bro" in response to a post about boring and repetitive posts?

    Is it so irritating that it overrides everything else? On reflection, probably.

    I'd disagree with that.
    A few weeks without those threads would be nice though.

    You got the right to vote. Now you even have a PC in your kitchen.

    What more do you want?

    AH would be a much happier place. So far proposed we have the banning of:
    • Doom & Gloom
    • Recession
    • Banks
    • Government
    • Sexism talk/arguments
    • Religion
    • Bras

    Not sure what else we'd talk about though. More kitty vs puppy threads maybe.

    I'm sick of coming into AH and finding thread after thread of doom and gloom about the recession, the government and the general state of the country.

    So are we.
    AH is where I come to get away from all that crap. It's the spiritual home of bullsh*t and nonsense and thats the way it should stay.

    It would be nice, but AHs atm is somewhere you can go to talk about topics you would bring up in the pub, unfortunately.

    So with that said can be please ban all doom and gloom talk from AH and stick it in politics or even start a new doom and gloom forum where all the scaremongers can post?

    A Doom and Gloom forum would be wicked, you've already given it a name.

    Apply Here. :pac:

    But in AH you get to look at these things from a bullsh1t, nonsensical angle which is oft deserved.

    And I do agree with the "Just don't read it" take - works for me.

    yeah all you political/recession/bad weather/moan moan people go away.

    I want threads about hookers, boobs and cocaine.
    There's a boobs thread every five minutes. Statistically anyway, as we speak, eight are being started.

    Gloom and indie kids? Did you not darken its doors at the weekends?! That tall guy might have been my cousin - he's tall. And went to Freakscene regularly.
