After Hours? Are we a cancerous growth on the face of Boards?

    I'd prefer to think that we're more a bold(bould) child that needs a slap now and again. But, do people come on to Boards, check the most popular forum, see AH, and then miss out on the rest of Boards, because they've no interest in a site that could allow the likes of us?

    It would be a shame to see all that hiking gear from Aldi go to waste just because of us.


    "Do people come on to Boards?"

    Yes, Boards used to be beautiful but what man would want her now?

    I'd say far more people stay on boards because of after hours than are put off by it. After hours kicks ass.

    After Hours to Boards is like Google to the Internet. Inseparable for most people.

    Best forum by far.


    AMC, do you ever post sober? That's one of the great things about AH, I don't think 90% of people here do.

    The notion that AH is somehow a little edgy and mischievous is ridiculous. Its a fucking Internet forum

    We're mad us :(

    Politics is the cancer of boards, so many people who want to stand on their soapboxes.

    It's a little mischievous, but too well-moderated to be edgy.

    Yep, I first found boards a year ago because I needed some prices/cost for insulation. Some right twats in that forum. Now I am a daily lurker on AH.

    After Hours is weird, wacky, wonderful and never a dull moment either. It's the best forum here :)

    AH, I meant it in a nice way. There are other places for real mental regurgitation.

    But sometimes the eejits and trolls can really add to a thread and turn what would normally be a boring, average thread into a classic.

    I love this place, if people think AH is bad then check out 4chan, youtube comments and the imdb message boards for true internet asshats

    Boards is like the Sheens:

    The passion fueled, talent laden fora are it's.. 'Martin'.

    The sensible serious (but somewhat demented and sad) fora it's.. 'Emilio'.

    The private ones it's.. 'Ramon' (yup, he exists but is quite hard to find).

    And then there's AH and eh, well, think we all know which Sheen we'll be representative of.

    There was this post once, but I'm far too drunk to go looking for it now.

    *assumes drunk uncle mode towards eldest nephew*

    "Aaah Tom! You couldn't just run in there and find the post that I made sober could you? Meself and your father can't remember what it was about."

    "I'll do me best uncle Choco, but I'm not promising anything"

    *Tom goes into sitting-room*

    "You've raised a good lad there Mick."

    "....AND TOM BRING DOWN YOUR GUITAR AND SING US A TUNE."
