Number 34, who here would place it at Number 1?

That's not strictly true, we all love eachother but nobody loves you.

Class reply Koneko.

what site was number 1

seamus · 17-01-2005 06:01PM

Number 34 though. For site with zero advertising, zero investors (apart from the admins obviously), and zero commercial interests, that's some achievement. This country may be small, but boards is a long way from reaching critical mass. That's got to be some sickener for all those huge sites.

I'm also guessing it was a list done up by someone in the star, not a poll of joe on the street.

KdjaCL · 17-01-2005 06:05PM

And number 1 was?

/shame rep is off koneko deserves some.

I wonder if this will lead to an influx of muppets?

Creamy Goodness · 17-01-2005 06:49PM

the websites weren't really ordered from best to worst kind of way
it was just 50 websites you can't live without.

AA road watch was number 1 if you're interested

other notible mentions were

www.xe.com
www.google.ie
www.amazon.ie
www.entertainment.ie
www.yahoo.ie

Zaph · 17-01-2005 07:19PM

Why can't we live without yahoo.ie? I've managed pretty OK without it so far.

Nukem · 17-01-2005 07:38PM

Thats rockin news - 34 - think of all the sites that could be in the top 50.
Some achivement,hats off to all and the Admins may we rise to the top and stay their.

Now can i get a boat 2 plz...........

Shrimp · 17-01-2005 07:44PM

The key to getting a boat, is not to ask, and to not expect. You will get a boat only if you have got to the stage(Boatvana) of worthiness.. whatch your pm's ..you could be next :cool:
