    Is it just me or did it used to be sexier?

    I remember flirting all the time and getting in trouble for it. But no opportunities have presented themselves lately :(

    probably cause people are getting told off for doing it.
    I'd ask em but I cant bend down that low ;)

    euuuwwwww

    Bet you 50 euro this thread gets closed.

    You cant really say anything negitive about a forum, mods, the state of things on boards etc without it getting closed.

    Instead of "boards.ie - now ye're talkin" - should be "boards.ie - careful what ye talk about" ;)

    AH has been in decline from it's very first thread, which was titled, as I recall:

    AH is crap these days.

    In fairness, After Hours got more boring when the activist/political/anti-whatever trolling bores serious threads were started.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    :D

    They haven't gone away you know;)

    All it is now is pathetic thanks whoring. Almost every post is a cry for love.

    -Inb4 ironic thanks.

    It has always been the same sort of vibe in AH since I've been posting here (2005 the little reg date tells me) so I'm not sure how I missed this golden period of enlightenment which occurred sometime between Aug 2010 and now.

    If you feel the forum is lacking an intellectual vigour or the kind of hard hitting topical debate of Newsnight or Q&A then start a thread that will show us the error of our ways. Make an insightful 'non-cry for love' post. Do anything accept saddle up your high horse and fucking whinge pathetically. If you would be so kind...

    No one's forcing you to read the forum.

    =========

    Or alternatively, nice trolling my good man.

    I like your sig, it made me laugh. Best thing in AH in ages,

    A hamster, heh.

    It's declined a bit more now you've started this thread OP. And ye can shove your love up your hole, and use your thanks as a lube. Is that enough not-cry-for-love-ish?? The variety of threads is huge, some repeat, but a lot are funny and original.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    After hours is great, stfu op.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Thread needs a poll op.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Hello,

    I am a Nigerian Prince, and I have many many thankses which I want to give to all of you.

    Unfortunately, due to my country's strict thank tax laws I am unable to access these thankses until I pay a fee of thankses in order to gain access to them.

    Please give me thankses for this post, and I will then share all of my many thankses with all of you.

    God Bless You, and thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    I honestly think AH was seen a turn for the better lately.

    Oh, and it was always a place with attempted thanks whoring.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,948 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    After hours fucking rocks tits.

    And it doesn't fucking like you much either OP.

    I really, really want to thank that, but I don't want my boards.ie forums to be replaced with pages on pages of MAKE UR PENIS BIGGER! posts....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Maybe its time to get around the negotiation table

    The "After Hours has Declined Party" on one side and the "After Hours is Grand, Thanks Whores Alliance" on the other and settle this once and for and all with a game of Ker-plunk

    Has anyone noticed the quality of this thread go down hill lately. Page 1 was good. Solid. Then page 2 was a corker. Top drawer stuff, but it trailed off then 3 and 4 real let downs. I want my money back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,571 ✭✭✭7sr2z3fely84g5


    is it time for another-

    Dole/where have you farted/puked/piss/shagged/scuttered in your pants thread?.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,299 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    I was the author of the last thread on this matter.

    I've seen a noticeable improvement since then on topics - more numerous and varied discussions and a larger proportion of posters who seem able to have a mature discussion when the topic is seen as a serious one.

    Still though, too many people with smart quips or an answer for everything. No harm in a joke or a bit of banter but to have a 40-reply thread in which 20-30 posts are taking the piss really is poor.

    Such is life, however, doesn't stop me using AH - I just carry on and ignore the stupid thanks-whoring jokey quips, and I've noticed a lot of pisstaking posts that are just unoriginal and unfunny are actually not receiving any thanks, sometimes, which is good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    Sweet, another "AH has become crap" thread. Why is it whenever these pop up, they always seam to be by people who registered in the last year?

    Should I thank that then? :P

    Like I say, no biggie to me any more but everything in moderation. Nice to see a serious thread with a few good-humoured jokes than a thread full of jokes where a serious conversation can't be had for all the wasted space.
