    You posted your thread at 01:41 and I closed your thread at 01:51 and gave you a link to 24.

    Coming to Feedback within ten minutes of your thread being closed is jumping the gun, don't you think?

    Sorry but for some reason your post didn't show up when I opened the thread. And I didn't know PMing the mods was supposed to be done first.

    I checked the thread to find it locked with no reply or explanation. I'm guessing you were in the middle of writing your post.

    And I knew about the 24 forum, but didn't post there as it is dead. The newest post there is two weeks old, then after that there's a post from January. The 4th topic is from 2010.

    I wanted to talk about how much everybody hates a character on a TV show, instead of posting in a dead forum and waiting weeks for a reply, I wanted to have a chat now, tomorrow, or this week at least. Because I'm sure most people in AH have watched 24.

    Can we re-open it?

    The 24 forum is only dead caus nobody posts any interesting topics to discuss in it anymore. Im sure yours would get a few responses, at least by me :D

    Your thread was about how you feel about Kim Bauer.
    Kim Bauer is one dumb b!tch. I hated every scene with her in season 1. Half way into season 2 I actually started to fast forward through her scenes, she was just too facking stupid, getting herself into too much trouble, crying too much, getting in Jacks way calling him every 5 minutes with stupid requests

    Had you posted it in 24, you might have revived interest in the forum and encouraged more users to post.

    The forum is there to discuss 24, yet you chose to ignore it.

    Try it, you might get the forum up and running again.:)

    I won't be re-opening it.

    You can contact any of the C-Mods of AHs:

    AlmightyCushion g'em or trout if you wish to discuss this further.

    If I can't post it in After Hours about a silly girl from a tv show then what is After Hours for?

    You allowed election talk in the forum yet there's a politics forum.

    There's a thread about cats and dogs yet there's a pet forum.

    There's a thread about Charlie Sheen and Two and a half men, why not put it in the general TV forum?

    Come on this is kind of silly closing my thread and telling me to go to a dead forum, where I've gotten the guarantee of one reply from Keithm89. When he replies then what? Wait another two weeks?

    Well it doesn't matter anymore, I have nothing else to discuss on 24.

    I've given up on the show actually. I got as far as episode four of the season 3 but couldn't make it any further, Kim was just too annoying. How the hell did she get into CTU? She's actually more annoying than Jar Jar binks, the most annoying character ever.

    See ya now.

    Maybe start a thread on the general Television forum if the 24 one is dead? I know After Hours is a piss-takey, light-hearted forum, but it is also a general one and not really suitable for specialised stuff. I know 24 is/was extremely popular, but many people don't watch it, and wouldn't have known who you were talking about.

    It's a fair point though. AH mods go that's a TV discussion thread, TV mods go that's a 24 forum thread, thread gets posted on 24 forum with no replies.

    Poster loses the will to live and mods did their job!

    TBF if there wasn't a barely used sub forum for every single TV show ever made the cat might have some better discussion going on.

    OP, there's a thread on the subject of which TV characters you would like to see killed on the first page of the TV forum. Perhaps you'd find some agreement there.

    There was a whole site for it once upon a long ago. That said, and I know you agree to a point Doc., AH needs less thread tennis.
