I'm thinking most of those 5,000 were in work also. If I had been in work, I would have been refreshing like a mofo

simu

I was at home but TV was rubbish, I was too full of food & drink to do anything productive, had talked my fill with people... what else was there but to go take a look on boards?

Woden

i was bored early in the morning i had an eleven hour download to do i had to pass the time (data wonders did that excuse cut the mustard)

Barry Aldwell

I was bored of playing my PS2 and avoiding my family so I decided to go online.

Exit

Well, that was pointless.

Explosive_Cornflake

Lol

oeNeo

That should be bannable.

littleninja

Wasn't anywhere near a pc over Christmas, though if i had net access no doubt i would have been online, be it in boards, or just generally wasting time elsewhere!!!

Cloud

We should shutdown next Christmas as a matter of public health.

yossarin

as long as you also provide a reasonable trick for me to ignore my relatives ("hes doing computer stuff" works so well, ), then thats fine.

po0k

There is *nothing* to do on Christmas day.
Nowhere's open, most families stay at home.
I watched a few DVDs, played Arcanum for a few hours and checked boards, mail and various tech sites over a seriously dodgey dial-up connection.
Got 9600baud at one stage.
Must get eircom out, line is extremely crackly.

sweet lord. I thought my Christmas Day 31.2k was bad!

Boards on Christmas day - I guess it proves the importance of this online community to its members..

DMC

I wasnt near a PC since last Monday. One of the reasons being if I brought my PC back to the country, I'd get a connection like SyxPak's, a severe step down from 512k broadband. By Christmas Eve the shakes started to stop....
But if I was online, I would've been here too.

No, what would be worse is being online at midnight on New Years Eve.....

It was christmas? When?

Hey, that's going to hurt, in about 48 hours...

DeVore

Actually if I'm near a machine on New years eve I'm going to check it just after midnight... and ban anyone on

DeV.

Töpher

But what would the site do without you then, DeV? :ninja:

ecksor

I deleted your post.

It was pointless and annoying.

The Muppet

I deleted your post.

For future reference is this a policy change an early implementation of your new years resolution or just a whim?

ecksor

For future reference, don't do what he did that prompted me to delete his post.

The Muppet

As If I would. Obviously not just a whim so.;)

Indeed. This year I'll again be sending "Happy arbitrarily-chosen year number change day bah humbug" text messages to the loved ones I won't be seeing.

Sarky

Then stay at home and watch that Jools Holland's hootenanny thing, with a nice drink and a fire. Worked for me the last few years...

eoinm1

DeV did you ban any one?


Eóin

DeVore

You joking? I was too busy have a ball of a time at a kickin' party in a mates place!

I didnt get to a computer as it happens and I was in no fit state to operate a computer either...

DeV.

ecksor

I banned utility_ from IRC when I got home. Not sure how I was able to operate a computer mind you.

eoinm1

"You joking?"

I was indeed.


Any way happy new year to one and all.

Now lets all get some fresh air.
