Whenever a Haka thread starts up, it always ends up in the same death spiral.

To be fair though, I realise not everyone's been a keyboard warrior as long so they should have the chance to get stuck in to one - but eventually it just becomes monotonous.

Indeed. Any Haka thread just needs a reference to Hitler, and Internet nirvana would be achieved.
Oops.
A higher plane has been reached!

Not only have I taught someone something today I have now learnt something. I had never heard of Rule 34 until now.

To think gagger was trying to destroy this yet in his effort it became a thread to teach.

Au contraire, I simply spun it along in a new, positive direction.

It's also given me an idea - the Haka thread automatic post generator

With a few clicks you have whole new Haka thread

Title: FREE TEXT

What's happened: [DROP DOWN MENU]
  • The Kiwis have dreamed up a new one - it's outrageous
  • The IRB have been fuckwits about it
  • Someone's disrispucted it / faced it in a new way

Audio Visual: [DROP DOWN MENU]
  • The 1973 haka clusterfuck
  • Latest haka variation with throat-slitting or other rediculous mime with Ali "Honkey" Williams being a cock to the camera
  • Latest face off technique (arms linked, looking at it)

We might as well have drop down responses as well:
  • You lot don't understand what the Haka is about
  • They should just fuck right off and stop being so precious about it
  • We're not precious about it, it's the IRB/NZRFU/Someone else

Actually, just post those responses automatically and close thread.

You don't support Ireland as well? Ahh well.......I'll give you 1978 then :)
Difference between team and country, my own little political point but don't tell the nordies!! Ireland will beat NZ one day, whether I will live to see it I don't know I am only after living for another 50 years.

Why do you care?
Surely, eventually it dies out.
Those who find it monotonous can stay away once it reaches that stage for them.

Yeh why would he care what crap gets written on his web site!

I am interested in knowing: the more that gets written surely the more valuable the advertising space because it axiomatically involves more hits.
But if its just a play thing then I can understand.

Simple - if you let any old shit get written it very quickly turns into something that's not worth reading.

No-one started, built or curated this site so that we couldn't read it!

And it sure as fuck isn't for the money!!

Speaking of which, donate some money or buy some stubby holders. Long live the king of rugby websites!

You are right Gagger, however, as an "older rugby fan", that phrase also refers to the above mentioned "AB Challenge"! BTW, have you ever published the ages of our oldest and youngest members?

I think I am the youngest at a spritely 15, and I think either Bruce Ross or PaarlBok would be the oldest.

At your age (65+?), is there much that doesn't become monotonous?? :fishing
