Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Failed Boards' forums

mkennedy · 2008-07-15 20:32:09

What are the failed boards' forums. The ones that seemed like brilliant ideas at the time but never quite lived up to their promise. The North Haverbrooks of Boards so to speak? Expecting the "this is a failed THREAD" response of course...

I like prison.
Dont think I can post there though which sucks. Those guys are the most honest people on the planet.
Also lets face it the ole thunderdome is a frigging nightmare lately.

Also sex and sexuality sucks. I once paid for a subscription and I assure you its nothing but jailbait, links to active live pornography streaming sites, a series of mod written erotic literature and pictures of boardsies naked taken by the developers utilising a clever cookie that installs a DRMkit on your pc giving them access to real time webcam streaming.
Saucy saucy dudess.

Also classic rock is flagging. Because YOU dont care enough yet.
Support classic rock. Click my goddamn sig.
Or else it might never happen.

The graduate forum. It's not even on the list in the Edu category though so that might explain it somewhat.

I assume it's meant to be the Knights Of The Round .

Legends of the Boards is a pretty lame forum.

/edit: yeah, that's odd about the Graduate forum not being there.

Surely if there are a number of forums without use, it may be a good idea to close these forums?

This sounds likee a boards Pruneing research exercise if ever I heard one...

Magazine

And as much as I hate to say it...
TheGig Buddies forum has been a bit quiet and not at all what I expected...
That was something with EPIC potential... Maybe Im being a bit premature here and it hasnt had a chance to get off it's feet but I just don't think it's working like alot of people thought it would.. Shame...

Actually I'm pretty sure Ecks counts mustard as a resounding success.
AFAIK it was an experiment to see if a forum could stimulate debate on a nonsense subject. And yes, it can it seems.
Theres about 50 inactive hosted private forums knockin about still.

If there is a specific forum for the topic you want to discuss then you will be posting off topic in antoher forum. the mod will move or lock your thread. However, when the relevant forum gets no traffic, its pointless to start a thread there. Some sub division is good, too much is bad

We should all go over to the "Rip-off Ireland" forum and pay our respects. I dropped in there once, expecting blood, guts and swearing, but only the tumblweed was waiting.

Perhaps we're not getting ripped off enough to make a big song and dance about it, or we've just given up.
