The future of boards??

Stompbox

Well, how about it?What will boards be like in 10 or maybe 20 years?Will half of us still be posting or a new gang?Opinions?

Heyes

Ive a funny feeling this one s been done before.

Plug

I'll stay once I have a computer with broadband;)

Terry

ask mystic. she's psychic.

simu

Wait a minute while I massage my antennae...

abelard

We probably won't be "posting" any more. Maybe "neuro-uploading" or something equally weird though.....

Franky Boy

A group of deliquent kids on motorbikes, claiming lives everyday.Most likely on drugs also, crack, acid, whatever really.So long as it's illegal!

Ruu_Old

All the forums will be deleted in favour of one very big AH forum. Im scared for the future.:(

Earthhorse

Search will work. Permanently.

byte

Boards.ie will be acquired by Google in their quest to take over the world... n stuff.

Baggly

10 or 20 years? F*ck me. The internet (as we know it) has barely been alive ten years. Mobile phones as a widespread device have only been known 8 years (at most). I couldn't tell you what the Internet will look like in 3 years, let alone 10.

Text speakers and spell czech will become engaged in a bloody war, no one will be spared, it will bring us all down!:eek:

Well, what do you think yourself?

YeAh!

Well what are the trends like? Is the amount of new users registering to boards each day rising or falling?
One things for sure, with the amount of "New" forums going up weekly on boards for every little demand for one boards will be PACKED with forums.
Also, it depends on the management. At the mo, the guys who run this do keep everyone in check and everything under control in fairness. The stability of boards will depend on abilities of these mods to maintain the site which will be difficult as more people join.

Listing recent posts in your subscribed forums might, just MIGHT be fixed....

xzanti

we'll have the ability to summon users to have real debates by clicking on their user names and have them appear as a hollogram...

Oriel

I bet the servers, even with their 42Tbgz processors, will still be just as slow as they are today...

monkeyfudge

The nightly back up will be reduced to a lean 12 minutes.

Either I'll be here, or one of my kids will take over the account. I'll be like an Internet Zorro.

Living nanochips in keyless microdevices linked to brain waves transmit signals through a global network of low level satellites.

Sounds about right.

There will actually be ghosts posting on the paranormal forum!

And instead of just banning people mods will be able to send hiigh voltage shocks directly to peoples computers.

We'll all be banned for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person.

good shout -- the only people left will be the hardline mods - who will have banned all users they don't like or agree with .. meanwhile some disgruntled set of the banned will create an alternative to boards - that will allow more freedom and thats where all the interesting discusion will take place .. or maybe cloud will assess some of the Mods current behaviour to save what was a good service .

Tell you what, we'll let you use boards free for a while, if you like it then you can pay for the service.
