Boards will eat itself?

Mr. Presentable

More and more threads, this included, are introspective, discussing boards itself, or its participants (What is Pigheads name), or what they say (the Yore Ma thread). Has the community exhausted new discussion and begun to spiral into a self obsessed decline? Are we witnessing the decline and fall of the Boards.ie empire?

No.

Do we really give a f*ck?

Not by a very very long shot.

I could lose a child while on holiday if you think that will help liven things up.

To boards, or not to boards, that is the question?

Red Hand

Didn't read the posts, but I heard that boards removed a rib to do so...

In 2025 Boards.ie became self-aware...

Another self referential thread complaining about those damn self-referential threads.
The 'ironing' is delicious.

Agree though that it's all been done before.
Also agree that every second thread in AH nowadays is boards-obsessed.
Boards.ie forum anyone..

BTW I'm aware of the plaintively self-referential nature of my own post before anyone points it out.

Like the arrival of the first cuckoo announces the start of spring - the first dumbass post of a 1st-year arts student (may or may not be true) heralds the start of the college year.


I swear that they look younger & post dumber each year. Bless!

FlutterinBantam

heh heh..hope Boards.ie is not depending on those self appointed smart asses for survival.

we could always *pretend* one of the admins was kidnapped or is missing in the Sahara desert and start a monster campaign to search and save his *missing* person.

or we could continue to talk our someone's mother or long retired game consoles?

More importantly though, what flavour is boards?

I never get the chips, just the cheese. Oh and an oily fishy taste sometimes

Okay, I'm now convinced that tjtmod is Terry

I presume it will start at the food and drink forum.

You do know that I know who you work with and that I know that you know what happened, right?

I'll give you a couple of minutes with that one.

im all disappointed now......

If we consider the expodential rate of growth then at some point boards.ie will in fact have every active internet user on the planet as a member and so
other mesage boards will gradually whither and die as they become less used due to obsession with boards (see post count). At some point the billion users will cease to notice Real Life TM and discuss only other threads.

The economy will collapse and a great darkness shall fall over the world. The boards population will turn to a great mythic figure as we look for sustenance and hope - Bubbles.

To be continued....

Mike.
