Announcement has being made: First After Hours Day!

J Mysterio

I know this is supposed to be a laugh but you've wound up a lot of people with this, which wasnt a smart move.

When you are saying there is a 'big announcement on the future of here' and then it's this... You're asking for trouble, and doing the site a disservice. Almost like you are actively driving people away. This place is already in a state of decay.

What do the actual employees of Boards do?
I'm still waiting for the True Crime forum .

It's like the safe thread all over again

Its like all those, 'what bought you to boards', 'what was your first post on boards' threads.

Why would I promote boards to my friends and family, they might find out what I am really like.

It would be better to promote AH to the rest of the site, might change the opinion, of the 'This Is Not AHs' posters.

Tomorrow is after hours day. You are encouraged to bake a cake with some reference to the day and share it with your colleagues. Get baking. I’m almost done.

Yeah, this has really breathed new life into the place all right.

This was the reason why moderators were asked to drive from the 4 corners of Ireland to a covert meeting off the m7??
Would a few PMs not have sufficed?
What was there to discuss/organise at Location X?

Oh I meant to reply to this.
Some people in another forum wanted to show off and test the range of their new Electric car!

Don't imagine 2010.
Imagine the future.
Imagine what you are going to do for After Hours Day.

I just burned my hand trying to bake a cake. I'm off to legal discussion to see what my options are.

So far, its like telling people to pack a bag and be ready for a holiday for a lifetime. Then just bringing the cnuts to Leitrim.

Sorry guys, but I'm putting it all into this year's SSF now

There was a thread recently about if a mod ever went rogue....I think we are seeing it happen before our eyes

seamusk84

I thought there was going to be some kind of big party!

jamesbondings

Ah for fook sake.... I'm after spending like 3 hours reading this whole thread. What an absolute waste of my time. Led on by a fooking Mod no less.
I imagine a total of 4 people actually taking part.... Unless guerilla marketing is involved on the streets of the cities..... But doubt it.

Thanks for wasting my time. Genuinely thought there was something decent coming.... Like a decent app... But no..... Its a "do some word of mouth marketing for us because the website is in decline and we need some fresh blood to give yellow cards and bans to"
Ugh

So I'm caught up with the thread...

WTF???

So..

- this was all a wind up to begin with and a piss poor attempt to save face

Or

- it's a lame attempt to throw people off whatever the REAL :rolleyes: "announcement" is

Either way this is a spectacular own goal IMO. Even if there was some "groundbreaking" news, I think that pissing off your user base (again) probably wasn't worth it.

Assuming this wasn't a solo run by the OP, who signed off on this nonsense??

The J Stands for Jay

What a terrible thread. The announcement isn't in the op or the latest post. I'm just going to assume it's been announced that AH is now sponsored by Gearbest and there's a free nasal hair trimmer for all regular posters.

We are delighted to announce that Friday the 10th of August 2018 we'll be celebrating our first After Hours Day.
Share your experiences of After Hours.
Tell us you story about why you came here in the first place.
Has it changed your life?
Get other non Boards.ie users to celebrate the joys of After Hours tell them about it over lunch or an announcement in the office.
Decorate your work place or home with balloons and bunting.
Bake or Buy a cake and share it with others.
Make it a day to remember.
I know some will be disappointed with the news. I did explain it may make you happy,sad, etc. We had a lot more planned but due to certain individuals we had to move it forward because they couldn't wait.

Wow....

Although, I'd wager more thought went into the new thread title than the idea itself.

Seems like it would just better to announce whatever it is on the day instead of giving a mod his own vanity thread.

So it was wind a up.

I'm not whining, I've got my own reasons as to why tomorrow is gonna be a happy day.
You could've just posted an announcement as per normal on the front page, wouldve got more positive feedback than what has transpired.
Now you've wound up half the site unnecessarily so.
