    Because any old thread is allowed, doesn't have to be topic-specific. Even asking why this board is popular is allowed.

    Found a loose thread on your clothing. No worries, it can be spun into a chat on After Hours..

    The foxy nude pictures. Obviously you'll have to PM the Mods for access.

    AH is great, unlike the Hunting and Shooting thread with their nude pictures of foxes. Sickos.

    Hmmm...why is the only general topic forum, that doesn't specifically cater for one particular gender/age or another, the most popular on boards....I give up...

    Because at university someone built a machine that molested children
    They studied Savile engineering..

    I tried burning a thread off a jacket once. That was a dumb idea.

    Because the moderators are less strict
    because it's After Hours












    i think it's because it's
    not a topic-specific forum.

    a forum that will guarantee you humorous threads and replies.

    less strict moderators

    I love AH

    You can read about people's bowel habits, kids getting punched in the face, people's crazy flatmates, favourite joke/food/drink, how do you sleep, how many **** a day you have and so on

    What's not to love...

    Because El Weirdo is great
    Because people don't just want the opinions of niche, category dwellers when they start a particular topic.

    On that note moderators should only be allowed to mod spam and fights. Normally they abuse the hell out of their authority and should all be banned.

    There is always something to make you laugh on after hours, it's good to have a little laugh day so I try to pop in most days.

    I only post here to ban people so I can save them from having to post here.
    Terrible place.
