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

    what site was number 1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    And number 1 was?

    /shame rep is off koneko deserves some.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,081 ✭✭✭Nukem


    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...........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    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:
