The most ''Hardcore'' forum on boards

Ever been on Commuting and Transport?

The cycling forum.

CA

Soccer forum especially if Liverpool or United lose

Shooting Forum is pretty hardcore.

I mean that in a good way. Lads take their sport serious and are mindful of bad press. I.E. plenty of lads in the real world will refer to a gun as a weapon, no malice intended but you can't do it there. I understand the fear of bad press.

Also a helpful group there if you have a shooting sport query.

The radio forum isn't one you just wander in to.

Motorhomes et al - made the mistake of accidentally wandering in there to ask about someone dumping ****e on a beach. Won't be making that mistake again :eek:

Off topic a bit but Motorhome users do that in your area as well?

Was visiting and yes in front of us - bold as brass. Whatever you do don't criticise any members of said group. You've been warned :pac:

The Waterford forum seems oddly contentious

The Galway City forum can be very intense at times. Especially the threads about traffic. (I lurk there, but am rarely brave enough to post :pac:)



And god forbid someone posts something in there that should be in the Galway County forum!

I think all forums have their sacred cows and the long time high priests to defend the orthodoxy. Here's a selection:

Hybrids and EVs: Say that they are not an environmentally or sustainable transport solution and/or the product isn't good enough yet and you'll be rounded on, even though you are right.

Animal and Pets: Say that dogs that bite should be put down and you'll be told "how could you!" And along will come another poster recommending a dog psychologist or other woo to relieve you of €100/session.

Football: Pointing out that the FAI is in the state it's in because people like the members of the forum still give them money by going to internationals and buying jerseys. Justified by "supporting the lads" or other BS by the main posters. Of course, not forgetting that football forum is so childish that you need permission to post there.

Politics: the orthodoxy there is that whatever the EU does it must be good and not challenged. In the context of Brexit it had been quickly forgotten that our partners saw to turn the screw on us with an unaffordable 6.5% bailout, that the EU isn't all sweetness and light.

Motors: you have somewhat rival factions here with regards speeding and motorway behavior. You have ivory towerists that seemingly never do anything wrong on the road, and another camp that think it is their good given right to drive as fast as they like on the motorway.
