Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Ever wonder what boards.ie would look like in 1950

    All the text would be in long hand, joined writing and written with the right hand.

    Doubt it, right now the internet is like the wild west. Wait till they bring in the cyber police and they start backtracing stuff. They'll look back and say we were lucky.

    Big crowd in the village today, there was talk of some yank who wants to bid on the Bulls field when it goes to auction.

    I'm sure it would be moderated by priests from the catholic church with only them having the ability to start threads.. Most people would suck up to same and it might actually seem quite pleasant, if a bit repressed. I'd like it if it were liberal and high minded with more of a sense of humour.. The more gross / cynical stuff is expendable in my humble opinion

    Most people on the website would be trying to fix friends/friends of friends (that's everybody, in this tiny country) up with jobs and accommodation when they arrive in New York etc.


    * In the 1950s there was a common belief that the Irish "race" was about to die because emigration was so enormous.

    You'd never get on Boards because you'd have to share the PC with your 12 siblings.
