    My opinion: With very few exceptions sub-forums tend towards sucking the life out of a good forum group rather than improving them. Case in point the terribly structured television sub-forums and some of the more ridiculous music sub categories.
    While it is frustrating that there have been a number of Queen related threads, try reporting them to us soon as you see em and we'll merge / lock / leave as we see fit.
    At the moment there is one Queens visit thread on page one of AH which is the larger one that has been open for ages and has had many other smaller threads merged into it.
    We can only keep hacking away at it.

    AH is popular because of its content.

    60% flavour of the month consisting of 1.6 trillion threads on two subject, generally corruption / the government and an other.. dead asians, royal visits orfamous dead celeb related material


    25% whats the longest, how many times, whos your favourite threads

    5% Re reg troll threads

    5% How do i get a girl to have sex with me threads

    3% i hate life and want you to hate it too threads

    2% i got fisted by a clown in the toilets at Supermacs in Ballinasloe threads


    Its a fine balance, if you start subbing out topics to sub headings it will kill the forum and perhaps increase sad stories about run ins with clowns

    I don't really give a hoot about her, only that AH is nearly 30%* royal visit nonsense at the moment and it'll be total madness from Tuesday.

    Some extra modding capacity might well be in order!




    *might not be true at any given moment.

    Then it would become so routine as not to be of any great interest, but I suspect this is a one off deal!

    p.ie will be worth browsing next week.

    I hope there will be as much of a todo when I come to visit next month.

    Panic not Sir. The Queens visit is much like an unpleasant bowel movement - messy, nasty, but nessecary and soon over and done with.

    Whatever about a sub-forum, would it be possible to sticky the main queen thread with a warning that all Liz-related shit is to be posted in there?

    It really is getting quite tiresome now and I'm sure the mods are sick of it too.

    Just a suggestion.

    Hmph - seems to be a disproportionately big load of fuss over some drag act coming to Dublin..

    ...or have I missed something? :confused:
