Whats the story with this site? Just came across it now and is very similar to this. Was it a disaffected boards.ie person setting up or what?

jaggeh

it is inferior therefore its not worth note.

Most likely some moany bastard that got banned for something, and decided to set up a forum to prove he could "do it better".

Which of course he hasn't, it's a piss poor site, best left ignored.

I'll probobly get banned for this.....But I like thier banners

Binomate

Someone who wants to play moderator sets up another forum tbh.

The Hummer

Ah sure isn't the internet great...Every one can have a go...What the harm?
There are millions of bulletin boards out there whats the big deal?

magick

Its really more like the lame version of boards, like David Hasselhoff and the idiots who keep making references to him like its a cool thing to do...

The Hummer

God forbid we'd have 2 David Hasselhoff's

I know there are loads of message board sites but the whole name **** thing is very close to boards.ie and prob against copyright or something?

The Hummer

Its only a url ..... Its boards ireland isn't it?

RobertFoster

The admin came on here asking for advice setting up a forum IIRC. He should have gone to creative writing for the name though...

The Hummer

There are loads asking for advice like that in webmaster.....

Gordon

He got banned after he set it up btw.

The Hummer

There is not a lot on it TBH.. But I don't understand the hostility.. I know i'm only new here but from reading around loads of members have thier own sites , some of them are forums as well ,what the big deal?... I have about 10 bulleting boards in my favourites I visit them all from time to time..If I see something that interests me I stay if I don't I go.. The internets surly big enough for everyone.

Goodshape

They're trading off the name.

(it wasn't always dubbed 'Boards IrEland' either)

The Hummer

Why? How long is it around?

PlayGirl

similar?? its fecking identical other than the name & the fact that boards.ie is so obviously better!! :rolleyes:

The Hummer

I,m not suggesting anything here BTW ..but I am just confused as to the fuss, besides BOARDS in the name & the softwares the same I just don't get the big deal (sorry) If you google vBulletin you will get hundreds of sites like this & them.....

My, how benevolent and non-spiteful our boards.ie hosts are. But I'm sure there was a good reason to ban him.

Giblet

Sarcasm isn't your best trait cregser.

cregser

I don't practise much. But I got the sarcasm and the point across none the less.

mickymg2003

Hes getting what he wants, were advertising it.
What a cunning ploy on his part!!!!

They are only minor security updates by vB the first was to add skype and the second was to do with a cross-site scripting flaw (XSS), a xml plugin was available to update sites, but without updating the version number, im sure boards is well up to date.

As for the ****, DeVore knows well about it, but couldnt be arsed in doing anything about it, and i dont blame him, there is no point on wasting time on people like the admin of that site (Bellerb btw), that user was banned a while ago by Dev for what he done.

Now i dont know about anyone else but the less advertisement this site gets the better.

Rally the troops and we'll all spam the site. Now that would be funny hordes of boards.ie users crashing in to every forum,oh....... the carnage.
Wonder has there every been a forum war of spamming?
(all in jest so please don't do it)

jaggeh

we have on occasion donned our special armor and taken up arms against websites who decide to spam boards.
