    Went to a few beers for different forums back in the day. They were usually a bit of craic to be fair.

    But I don't know, I feel like the ship has sailed for those days - though I'd never say never.

    Does ODG still do beers? That was the last one I was at. One of the guys brought a girl with him on their first date. Fun night actually.
    Didn't someone wax their balls at an AH beers in Sweetmans a few years ago?

    Yes, I was one of the wax strip pullers.

    Ugh.

    I don't know PR. Its about 2 years since I was a member of ODG. Couldn't tell you about the ball waxing one either but I'm fairly certain it wasn't the beers I organised. Maybe happened back when they were popular.

    For some reason I could see this ending up like a scene from fight club or something.

    If you bring wax strips, a forceps, your passport and a change of socks you should be all set.

    Surely these days it would have to be called "After Hours Beers / Other Non Alcoholic Carbon Neutral Renewable Alternatives"

    I'd have been on for beers before but after hearing one former posters experience at the hand of a creep I'd pass.

    Pretty sure the alleged creep was a mod too.

    I went to couple of beers years ago, they were good craic.

    Id say that creep incident is what put a stop to the boards beers tbh.

    Do you think? I dunno. I'd say part of it is the change in users. People who would have been up for beers in the past are no longer members so it just stopped being popular. Another reason I think is it needs to come from a mod. If one of the AH mods started a thread to organise a night out then that might work. A third reason is I'd say a fair few posters here attend beers from other forums and private ones.

    Yeah, beers were in decline already before that incident came to light. I think that incident was just the final nail in the coffin.

    Not having to wait on other people to drink up is bliss.

    Come to think of it I've only ever been to private forum beers so I'm not sure what the public forum beers are like or if there is a difference.



    Oh I can't be drinking too much on my own, I get fierce morose. Need someone there to play with me :D

    The way this place has been going lately we'll need a separate event for the left wing crowd and the right wing crowd.

    I'd like to think most folk would park whatever differences they have, have a few drinks and have a bit of craic.

    It is possible to put different viewpionts to one side and still get along.

    I'd go anyways.

    Boards has a different vibe these days to 10 years ago. Even up to 5 or 6 years ago. Back in the day, there was a real sense of knowing other posters - like a wee community. So it was a fair bit of craic. These days with reregs (guilty) and older posters just leaving completely, you have a bunch of people hopping in and out rather than a collective of regular posters to keep a convo and a bit of banter going. Beers used to be a great way to meet some sound people you'd already got to know. It's different now. And I don't think there's a way to get that vibe back, it's just the way boards went. They opened it up more and thus more people joined which is grand, but it lost that community feel.
