Meta thread. Give me a few words to help introduce people to after hours

dr.bollocko

Hello all,

Following on from our feedback discussion (It's stickied on the front page if you haven't seen it) it has been pointed out that it might be beneficial for new posters to have a brief intro to the ethos (for want of a better word... smell perhaps?) of after hours.

The "like the pub" simile is one that we've kicked around for years and I don't think it quite fits so I've gone ahead and snipped that part from the charter for now.

So I'm hoping to crowd-source steal your words for the purposes of updating the charter slightly.

So, how best would you describe our strange little corner of the internet to an alien that had never come across boards.ie before?

I would tell the alien to wear his tinfoil hat when he comes, to save him the hassle when he gets here.

AH is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

shockingly racist and homophobic, like a carcrash you can't look away from

It's where outraged people go to be outraged, thinly veiled racists go to write thinly veiled racist posts and it's where humour goes to die.

If I just amalgamate all the current posts in here and replace the charter with them I don't think we'd ever be bothered by new posters again.

Tombi!

"Sort of like the local pub. Filled with men, women and children, all regulars. Now and again we shoot on sight if we see any newcomers. Oh and we're a bit like the Nazis; we hate everyone".

In all seriousness: AH is a place with massively diverse opinions, some of which might offend. If you have an issue, f**k off and go to another thread.

AH; If its not to your liking then move on.

On the one hand I dislike the pub reference.
However on the other hand it would be quite AH-like if we told the new posters to f**k off in the intro to AH.

After Hours is like a box of chocolates -

You never know what you're gonna read;

Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, with just a sprinkling of fcuked up thrown in for good measure!

One of the busiest, most diverse forums on Boards, both as divisive as it is supportive, something for everybody and everybody has something to say!

My name is URL

The only real way for people to learn what the forum is about is to dive in and take part in it. I don't think it's possible to spell it out for noobs in a brief intro tbh. After 5 years here I'm still not sure what the hell AH is.
