It's been seven years since boards.ie was formed as a company, and today also marks the 9th anniversary of our first historical post on the Quake board (see the archived post here)!

We'd like to thank all our members for boards.ie's amazing exponential growth during the past number of years, and as we head towards 100,000 members and six million posts, we're looking forward to expanding even more...

To coincide with this day, we are also launching our new baby - boards.org.uk - a sister site for boards.ie in the UK. We hope to see you there...

Thanks, and happy posting!

The boards.ie Team.
