    Where have all the 1999-2005 joiners gone?

    Seems most posters nowadays are 2008+ joiners?

    Alien abduction?

    Wimmin?

    Berties fault?

    Atari Jaguar?

    Quake rehab?

    Yeah I've noticed that a lot of people who posted when I first joined have left. It really just doesn't seem the same anymore, alot of the time it feels like boards is the online version of joe Duffy. People have three or four posts and mainly sign up to rant about something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭howsyourtusk


    Left and came back.

    Yeah you do notice that. I find that you generally see posters like above on the mobile phone threads, bargain alerts and the consumer affairs. I came on here looking for advice, but I'd like to think that I've given a lot back also.

    I notice this too, I miss seeing posters like Sarky and Mordeth around. Though they probably are, name changes confuse me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,138 ✭✭✭Archeron


    I remember when all this was just jpegs of fields.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭MrMatisse


    Maybe an online pre 2005 joiners reunion thread is required?

    The users are constantly evolving which I like and I think it's good for the place. It keeps it fresh.

    Lots of name changes and they mostly come out at night.... mostly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    Name changes, moved on or stopped liking the place anymore I'd say. It's a very different site now than a few years ago.

    Yep, less community type chat, more ranting and wierd topics


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭Cunning Stunt


    I've been a member since 2000, but lost my original account when boards was hacked. Am not one of the 'famous' boardsies tho...;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    I don't know if this is relevant since I only joined in 2009. I abandoned Boards.ie last December and stayed away without even coming back to lurk. But I'm back now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 804 ✭✭✭TimTim


    We are waiting for the second coming.

    The others were quite happy with the anal probing, but I was having none of that and managed to escape the mothership by using an old vomit-stained vest as a parachute. I'm still wearing it just in case.
