Do Country Folk Moaning About Dubliners Posting About Dublin In AH Get On Your Tits?

runswithascript

I heard it said we are 66% of the population, anyway I put this question to you. I'm not going to vote just this second.

aidan_walsh

No. "Where can\do I xxx in Dublin" threads blatently on AH for extra traffic (charter, anyone?) when there is a perfectly good Dublin local forum get on my tits.

And I challenge anyone who has ever posted one of these to tell me honestly it wasn't put on AH for the extra traffic. Go on, see who believes you.

runswithascript

I have to say Aidan, you inspired this thread, you're always at it

It could be argued there's nothing wrong with getting extra traffic and reaching more Dubliners because I'm sure AH is more popular than The Dublin forum?

It could be counter pointed that the charter says that you're wrong, and likely to be banned for continuing to do so.

Let's post all our threads in the Dublin forum and leave the culchies out in the cold.

Hooray for the Dublin forum.

P.s. Shouldn't this thread be in the Dublin forum?

The forum will never be popular if all the dubliners insist on pointlessly posting here.

Support the dublin forum!

Blatant Dublin threads posted in here annoy me.

"Did ye see yer man on Leeson Street?", for example.

OP, your grammar makes me a sad panda.

Should this thread be in Feedback?

Feedback, tbh

Hey, I'm not continuing to do anything nor did I ever commence so. Also, I wasn't aware it's in the charter as it doesn't seem to be enforced. Usually charters are made up of appropriate common sense. And before someone suggests I should have read it first, you don't go to a foreign country and need to read their laws.

Thats surely not right, closer to 33% I think.

Anyways, "Aslan, heroin, M50, bleedin culchies, blah blah blah..."

They're just angry that they're not from Dublin, ignore them.

Personally, I don't mind broad interest threads, but the "where do I buy a cable tidy / X brand hoodie / whatever" threads are annoying.

I can guarantee that if I posted a similar thread for Galway in AH the Dubs would scream blue murder!

And they would be right ...

... for once!

I don't really care as long as it does not contain the line or similar, "I know this is the wrong forum but wanted to get a speedier response so posted here". Since I used to mod After Hours and move a fair amount of Dublin threads, it got annoying at times.

Perhaps in the Grammar Nazis' forum?

Ruu isn't an After hours mod any more???:eek:

Anyways, first off its annoying cause there's a Dublin forum provided for this purpose. Second, even though they are all posted here cause there's more traffic, surely there is a better chance of getting an answer from someone who knows on the Dublin forum? And as someone pointed out, it'll never get the traffic if you don't use it.

Surely it could be argued in like fashion for all fora? So why have After Hours, Soccer, Computers and Technology, Motors or the Cuckoo's nest fora? Let's just have one big free-for-all...

Good point.

WindSock

Yes. I was thinking of asking the same question, as majority lives here. But then I would be pee'd off if I were a muck savage and hearing only about Dublin all the time.

First of all, the expression "country folk" conjures up images of oul fellas and wans with straw in their mouths and dressed in their only suit and wellies, sitting on the back of a trailer towed by a tractor, sharing space with a few milk churns and a few goats. I'm sure all of urban Ireland outside of the Pale feels a certain level of annoyance at that.

And don't say "ah sure we mean <insert pathetic justification here>...". That's the kind of line the English trot out whenever they're caught over here referring to their own country as "the mainland"!

Likewise, referring to "the city centre" is not on! We have every right to ask you whether you're referring to Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Cork or Kilkenny. And if you say "ah jaysus buud, ui was taalkin about Duublin, d'ya know warruimean?!", well I'll just refer you to the whole "mainland" argument above.

I shall continue to call them country folk as long as they continue to call us jackeens, most of whom I doubt know what this term even means.

There are urban areas outside of capital city?

So whats your point?

Boo hiss!! Keep this tripe out of Galway!

But seriously, each section was created so people could post in the appropriate section to get the better answer. You post here, you're going to get half arsed sarcastic replies.

Also, about the charter, why do you think it says "Read first before posting" as well?

Do you honestly read the charter of every forum you post in?
