    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.

    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:
