    There hasn't been a good adventure thread in ages. A thread that sucks you in and gets you emotionally invested in a story whether real or some mental's fantasy. The great misogyny battle of '14 is something I've nae interest in either tbh.

    My experience of this forum:

    40% of people are just venting their pent-up negativity.
    40% are trying their best to be funny, chasing the dopamine release they get when they see their post get thanked.
    10% are genuine, pleasant, and helpful people looking for thoughtful discussion and community interaction.

    And the other 15%?:rolleyes:

    It's normally

    - 1st couple of pages on a thread are full of people trying (and usually failing) to be funny
    - Next few pages are the ones worth reading
    - Because then it normally descends into a few posters nit picking, derailing the thread and basically ruining any discussion or laughs

    Its rare to find a thread that deviates from the above. God be with the days when you'd have a thread from some guy looking to track down some wan he half saw being interviewed on Nationwide or something

    I agree with the post above by Hrududu.
    Recently a mod came on a thread and posted 14 times, most of those posts criticising other posts.
    I think a limit of about three posts is enough for anyone on a thread. State your position and leave. It gets boring when people in power start throwing their weight about.

    Weddinggate!!

    God that was hilarious. And awful. :)

    I felt very bad for Mauzo, and a bit guilty for laughing so much at the whole story.

    Start one then?

    It used to be good. A few funny threads here, few serious discussions here, with the odd p*ss-taker who was easily ignored.

    But now, way too many people nit-picking over people's spelling, what words they use, how they type their paragraphs, taking the p*ss out of some serious discussions to a point where people don't even bother to try and pick it back up to where it was before. All to try and be funny, or to get a "thanks" on their post.

    I like posting in here before, but I don't bother anymore. Too much intimidation and tension sometimes.

    What a stupid thread. I am now obliged to explain my response. Why would anyone "feel" anything about AH? I have feelings about people in the real world. Here it's a laugh or pointing out the madness of the various God squads who have appeared recently. Above any other forum this one is not to be taken seriously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now

    See when i said ''feel'' it didn't have to mean emotional feelings :pac:
    Was more a kind of what do you think of the place currently type thing.

    So dont get your knickers in a twist.

    But why would you even think about it? I'm amazed. How did you know I wear knickers?

    Things have gone way downhill since I started posting.

    It was way better before I arrived.

    Well i could say to you right now why would you even bother posting in here if thats the case then ya know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    Kind of ****e. I've moved onto bigger and better things like reddit. You get everything you want there and you can sort comments so you don't have to read most of the stupid unfunny ones.

    Goodbye after hours. It's been real. Real crap.

    Actually I was talking about the absence of them in me and their hyper sensitivity in you. I won't worry about you at all tbh!! I remain amazed at such a thread. So serious. But meh! Cat videos.
