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.

who decides if it is serious ? can we not laugh in AH any more.

Resi12 · 14-09-2011 08:34PM

I think threads and trolls like this are what make it decline.

BBDBB · 14-09-2011 08:34PM

isnt that what Ah is for??

the piss take quips etc?

if you want serious discussion on any topic there are loads of category forums to post in.

AH is popular for a reason that being because its where you can read or contribute with stupid/funny answers

sdanseo · 14-09-2011 08:37PM

Yeah, but the funny quips stop being funny after the 5th one

This is seen in the thanks - often the first reply will be hilarious, and thanked accordingly, followed by 20 or so people who think they're funy, and might well be, but can't get over the fact that they missed their oppertunity.

meh, I used to sometimes think that AH had gone to the dogs too. But really it's down to the viewer.. you can't like all of what is being discussed all of the time.

you are thinking way to much about it. Should every thread stop at the 5th reply.
Post what you want and never mind everyone else.

some people have become obsessed with thanks.

After hours fucking rocks tits.

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

Wow you love it so much, you'd almost think you were a mod :P

A forum hasn't made it until it gets people that hate it with a passion (e.g save that shít for AH), people that love it way too much ("it's awesome, fúck you for not liking this awesome place") and then people that say "it was better back in the day". Even if back in the day was when they joined in 2010.

Pfft. Noob.

This is still page 2.

I know isn't AH great
I had to forget them too your so right but i haven't been banned yet from that forum though i guess perhaps that's because i haven't been one of those people who is a reactionary ass who shows little compassion or humanity for those they perceive to be sponging on the system and just wants licence to vent their bile on people they see as less worthy of respect dignity and common decency than they are oh not saying that you were of course so anyway what was i saying oh yeah does anyone know where i can find my punctuation and grammar i seem to have lost it thanks maybe you can help me donalg

If you want a serious thread, go to the serious forums.

This is AH, where Piss is King

Sunnyisland · 14-09-2011 09:28PM

In all seriousness AH can be fun to read and enjoy and it also has some good threads in here well worth reading,There are lots of other threads where you can t even smile don't mind make a joke, AH is good for the soul and should be read daily :-)
