Announcement has being made: First After Hours Day!

Taytoland

I have to say an absolutely boring thread, full of other lesser known posters producing very little quality, no entertainment, no serious discussion and the announcement was utterly rubbish. So this can only be described as a failure.

Really lads... Poor enough to get a hype built up to announce you're asking your users to act as marketing tools.

Where do we get the balloon?

We were sending out balloons, bunting, party poppers, but because some people weren't able to wait. They had to be cancelled.

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.

...this is a joke, right?

There's a thread on reddit discussing this

Yeah, well you said...

"They'll be a big announcement made about the future of us here in the coming days. Only a select few know the details as of yet.".

Turns out we are both liars.

So this wasnt you acting the bollox?

This was a Boards HQ initiative?...they really want users to campaign and get people to sign up to the site?

Man, if this was you acting the ballbag just own up to it and we can all get past it and it will shut at least me up.

But by Jupiter, if Boards HQ actually thought we would go out and admit to being a user of Boards to 'normal' people.....fcuuuuk!

Dont shoot the messenger indeed. Id be on your side there Popcorn, you got slack for nothing.

I saw this and knew not to expect much...

So what is the News?

The big announcement is to supply feedback about After Hours which is normally done with a feedback thread and tell my boss that I spend all day on boards.ie?

Arghus

Lame.

Very, very lame.

sexmag

I'd be expecting a fake out that this was a decoy and the real announcement will happen shortly but boards aren't that clever

Wow the boards HQ are so crap,get a new marketing team

I made ye aware that their was going to be an announcement.
Some of ye got over worked up about and took it to seriously.(This is After Hours).

I'm still waiting for the "Gotcha!"

I refuse to believe the team made a swing and a miss of this magnitude.

Going by freahpopcorns smart nonchalant remarks I believe this to be a psych.

If serious they are gving people less than 24 hours notice to plan and do the celebrating of after hours, it's stupid so I call bs

Most of here are carefree and happy. There's no need for a big celebration.
Everything counts.
Wish the person in the shop or the bus driver.
Happy After Hours Day Tomorrow.
It may even turn a few heads.

Lucky you with hours to plan. It's time for me to party now.

Just need to find an office, colleagues and a boss....
