    Constantly came up when I was doing google searches, figured I'd see what all the fuss was about.

    When I was doing my Leaving Cert mocks in 2008 I heard off a few friends in school that you could get the papers on Boards. That's the first time I ever saw the site.

    cousin was always banging on about it - so one day had to buy something and it was on adverts and ever since I've become an addict!

    Always saw it on google searches and it had the .ie so I liked the fact it was almost exclusively Irish.

    After a couple of bans from the rugby forum I finally learned how not to just post threads but you could reply to other threads too :rolleyes:

    I became hooked!

    First time I used it was because I was looking for a way of telling people I was making something for a game, and google helped me find this. Found cool vids & pics and other forums and i was hooked. More of a lurker than a poster though.

    Think it was a search result on AltaVista, back when it was the Google of the day.

    Boyfriend told me about it. 'And then there's personal issues, where people post about all their problems and other posters give them advice...' *begins lurking*
