Read that last word differently there for a second and thought there was a ban incoming :eek:

These mods must be so consumed by Boards that they honestly thought everyone else could see world through their eyes. I can picture it now, all patting each other on the back congratulating each other on a brilliant idea, but to the people living in the real world it's pretty ridiculous this idea.

Written reference and the works?

This could evolve into a yearly hate day like in 1984 they all gathered around to hate the enemy.

We'll just rent a cinema and show film clips of travellers.

My prediction is my feedback suggestion of a Reddit Gold type feature for posts, but with the money going to the SSF.

If that wasn't the plan, they should probably think about it now because realistically, there is nothing good they could announce.


This whole thing about telling friends is surely a ruse.

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?

It's is being introduced in After Hours to see how it goes. At the moment the bosses are delighted with the interest and amount of posts the idea is getting.
There is a good chance it will be extended to other forums now due to people like Srameen showing such an I interest in the topic.
So one day they might be an After Hours Motors Day.

If this is actually genuine and not just some ridiculously lame fake-out, I suspect it was one particular mod's bright idea and tbh, I have wondered who in god's name decided to make him a mod since the day he was appointed. I actually thought it was a joke at first.

You should have just said your account was hacked or you changed your meds or had a stroke or something, this is mortifying.

They were told to recruit a few of the thickos the day they asked me. Something to do about equality.

What the hell are you doing playing along with all of this? Have you all lost the plot completely? Did someone drop acid in the water cooler?

You just can't let this go can you? When you're standing in the hole, stop digging.

Not a hope. All the other AH mods let freshpopcorn be the fall guy.

Meanwhile when Boards HQ look at this thread tomorrow

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.

Well this is fake news, because we were told only yesterday it may take a week or 2 before we know what is going on. But it will be before a weekend.


But what weekend?

People wanted the announcement to be made sooner.
So, it was.
This is why we didn't send out the balloons.

well spoken man

What a load of Bull......

My read of this latest "oopsie" is that FPC had a bit of a brain-fart when he posted the OP (possibly drink related), the thread grew legs, and then he had to come up with something, and is now too far in to back down now.

It's still better than the alternative that someone higher up thought this was a good idea!

Erm... i don't fancy telling "anyone" about after hours.

For one thing, I haven't told anyone I'm a member of boards.

Secondly, After Hours is like that freaky mate of yours that you don't want to admit you like hanging around with. He half disgusts you but somehow you don't want to cut him loose. I'll be ****ed if I'm seen in public with him!

Yester

Only an hour and a half to go!

I wondered how long before the bandwagon hopping started.

Don't you know this is what Freshpopcorn wants. Infiltrate boards one forum at a time.

We won't be able to move for all the banners celebrating the current special day it is.

Freshpopcorn started a thread saying a big announcement was coming. Cue lots of posters guessing and getting excited. It turns out that it was all a pile of nothing. Many posters are very aggrieved by this as they feel have been made fools of.

When one has hopes and expectations they can feel hurt and disappointed when such hopes don't pan out. In order to manage this hurt they turn their anger to the source. In this case freshpopcorn.

The interest is not there,the post count is all negative and it's just like in my old job in customer care where my boss used to use the spam emails we got sent in as actual correspondence to fluff up the numbers and look good.

No one's buying it

I was impressed at how it was handled. Some people are getting bogged down with the small details, but you have to see the bigger picture.

However I do not welcome the inclusion of cake. I am not allowed cake.

Even if there is an alternative announcement, 'tis all gone to **** now.

Once again, my inability to get excited or look forward to anything has saved me from disappointment.

The emotional rollercoaster of this thread sums up after hours in a nutshell. why were people surprised?

Because it's piss-poor behavior from a Mod of the forum.. Worse again that he won't just admit he screwed up but keep digging.

People don't like being treated like fools, AH or not.

It's all very socially awkward isn't it?

You’re lucky you’re a decent mod, otherwise people would actually have a right to be p’ed off!

The moderators and admin team are more clever than us you see, so they are 'joking around'. Can't you take a joke? It's funny right? It's funny.
