Take the thread about how people respond to what car they drive. Rather than answer with an honest answer you just end up with half or more people trying to think of the wittiest comment possible in an attempt to come across as PH as possible.

I'm all for long running jokes and banter but it's a little sad when people are joining up and posting 10000 posts in 3 months and then quoting 'the imagine' 'backdoors' or 'the conveyor belt' threads in a bid to look cool..

PH appears to be the new 'stance'...



What happened (rhetoric)?

I'm well aware that this thread with not go well, whoosh, yada yada.. bored.

One of the best things about PH is the humour and the banter. Its not all about techical answers, what makes it enjoyable is people taking the piss. Its like when you are down the pub with your mates etc, you expect some pisstaking in amongst the discussion of cars etc.

It's like old Top Gear v's new Top Gear. Old TG was all facts and figures and common sense. People got bored of it and eventually the BBC canned it.
PH is like new TG. Interesting but also witty and funny at the same time. And nobody gets bored of it, ever.

Oh, wait...

I know exactly what you mean, OP.

PH is becoming a bit boring due to the overuse of in jokes and references to old threads.

It reminds me of work, where colleagues seek to justify themselves, and make themselves appear in the know and part of the gang, by using management speak and buzzwords.

Shame.

Ooh, very negative. Let's put that on the back burner and adopt some blue sky thinking here.

I hear you chaps, but this type of thread has appeared fairly regularly in the 6 years (I think) I have been in the PH office.

As things move on people remember 'the old days' and in a year from now, all of those saying 'very lorry' today will be saying how they dislike the way PH has become when things they found funny once have been replaced by others

I guess we just change and flow on here, but what is clear at events like the Sunday Service is that PHers in 'real life' haven't changed a bit.

Can't we have a section for us old timers and keep the newbies out ;-) Do I even count as an old timer. I could be excluded from my own suggested private area.

Very rarely the meme's annoy me. I never use them myself. Except for the odd woosh parrot, but that never gets old yes

I do see what you mean, every now and then somebody attempts to act like their in the big boys club by using "inside jokes", it usually ends badly...
