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.

To be honest with you.
If your going to get wound up about a posts in After Hours you have my deepest sympathy!

Hiding behind the "it's AH" line is a poor move at this point. This has been a mess of a thread and like it or not, has probably annoyed a lot of posters just a little more about the site as a whole.

If you/the rest of the team can't see that, then it's even more of an own goal than I thought.

This all reads as a gag that backfired. How about just calling a spade a spade, accept that many didn't get it or find it funny and just close the thing?

Delete this thread and let's pretend it never happened. That's surely the best option here.

Wait a minute I made it clear that some people wouldn't like the announcement!
Also the mods get enough hassle for closing threads.

Boards equivalent of "nuke it from orbit".

At least I can add mods to my ignore list.

That's a plus.

I'm in two minds : I have eggs and all, but I've no baking chocolate for to make a cake.
I could do a Madeira/sponge type cake, with Nutella or jam or something.
OR ...
I could go for an apple crumble.

Not sure.

Where did I say I'm wound up? I got enough shìt in my life besides letting an online thread upset me:-)

Arthur's day you say?

I got very excited when I saw the title change to AH Day.
I genuinely thought it was going to be a meet up arranged like was being discussed in the What Boardsie would you like to spend a day with? thread.
Then..the confusion set in.
Then..the disappointment.
Now..the rage!

So, let's be honest. Were you being serious? It doesn't read as such in the slightest but you then persist by posting this reply.

You said something along the lines of you wound a lot of people up.
I was referring to those people

No one is upset by the thread, it's just a ridiculously stupid, unfunny thread that's getting more cringeworthy by the minute.

It has got to the point where it's doing AH no favours.

Folks, whatever you do, don't spill water over this thread, but, above all, DO NOT FEED IT AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!!

Ya thanks. I spotted that. But when you edit a post on the phone you lose the quote that was attached. It surely is a pickle.

I think they want us to think that was the big announcement , but that the real announcement is that all of the Mods are taking the day off tomorrow to eat cake and it'll be a free for all in here posting !


Then they come back and ban everyone

Apart from this thread..
Is there anywhere else this 'big' announcement is..well..announced?
And what perks do us peasants on here get apart from being marketing minions for boards.ie?

I could disappear for few days/weeks.
I could stick in Mod Note saying No negattivity or saying the day doesn't exist but I'm not.
I really believe in this and it will be a lot better if we all celebrated it together.
They may even be a parade in years to come.

That is absolutely pitiful... it really is.

Don't ask what AH can do for you, ask what you can do for AH.

Am I only supposed to invite colleagues who hate transsexuals and pregnant women on buses? Cos that's kind of an awkward conversation to have in work...

I've no idea what to make of this thread. I've narrowed it down to:

A. OP was a joke and then when the thread ran decided he/she needed to make something up

B. A genuine ($h1t) idea with a click bait OP to draw us in

C. There is an announcement coming (which more than likely will be some new techy way of the site operating) and OP is playing us along with this AH Day

Solutions for each scenario:

A. OP should quit now and come clean

B. We should celebrate AH Day by engaging in a 24 hour boycott

C. Not care

Very disappointed and Freshpopcorn should be hung by the balls.

Should get a bang of a spell checker before anything else. That thread title is burning my retinas. The whole thread is just kinda sh*t like, isn't it? Not funny, not offensive, not anything... just really, really sh*t.

Pretty confusing thread.

Yea I think it's a ruse...
The real announcement is a Mod face reveal.

Seve OB

Freshpopcorn please answer some questions.

Is this something boards thought up for the site as a whole?

Or is it just for after hours?

Or was it just some moderators getting together with the idea?

Or is it just your own idea?

Oh, please tell me there's still a slim chance that Seph might be getting a kitten...

I don't know, the nutella cake and apple tart banter is gas.
