    As for Reddit, think it was about 1882 when I first posted there. God those were the days.

    Yeah, Padraig Pearce posted a thread about having a blow out in the GPO in 1916 but he was site banned for shilling about Bolands Mills and the biccies they'd be taking with them....who knows what would have happened if the mods hadn't been so trigger happy!

    It was just a Flash Mob that got a bit out of hand. All of them crammed into the GPO with their Kodak "Box Brownie" cameras taking self portraits and then the crush to get the film developed got a bit much, strong words were spoken, some pushing and shoving in the queue and the next thing you know, the army's been called out.

    Anyone with more than 10000 posts should have their welfare stopped and made go back to work.

    There should be a word limit on posts. Some people have way too much time on their hands, writing volumes in a post that no one will read.

    There comes a point when everything's been discussed and you reach the end of the internet. At that point, you have to close out and turn back.

    We haven't had the great "Boxing Day v. St. Stephen's Day" thread yet. At least not this year's reincarnation. So you're definitely wrong there.

    I think its gone sh1t cos the moderators have gone sh1t.

    They cant distinguish between having their own opinion and moderating threads objectively , without letting their opinions overrul balanced moderation.

    Animal Farm anyone...

    It's gotten **** since the banning of all the brilliant "your ma" and "blast them with piss" jokes. Comedy gold, they were.

    And the significant lack of face kicking allowed.

    I agree. Mods are just mental these days. You can't have a good ruck anymore.

    One of the worst thing about Boards as well I find is it's hard sometimes to have decent conversation because there is so many people trying to be funny looking for their post to be thanked. (even though that problem is mostly confined to Afterhours).

    If you think its sh1t then maybe you could try contributing to make it better, besides starting an angry at the world thread. People are great at distancing themselves from things which theyre a part of. Maybe you need to find a way to use the site that works better for you. Some of those highlarious posters you miss are likely gone because they were troublemakers as entertaining as the crazies are :/
