    EDIT: sorry but it was going to be said sooner or later

    EDIT? How boring is that? If your going to make some 'funny' joke, then at least attempt to continue the trend in the rest of your post.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    I suppose it's the sheer amount of forums and members. We seem to have experts on pretty much every topic so when someone needs an answer someone here can usually provide it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Myspace has more 'groups' than Boards. The only places on here I like, are this place, Wrestling, football, it's got some funny and smart people and Fitness. The movie and Fitness forum is ok, but how gay is the LC forum? Idiots.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    The top quality nazi moderators and the delightful community feeling. Lots of helpful folk around here too. <3<3<3

    As a poster of other boards and getting a bit miffed at level of moderation I decided to say hello to here. Like I said getting a bit confused trying to navigate but Ill get there Id say. Thanks for all the welcomes by the wasy ;):p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Oh man, they think it's funny. It's one of those ****ty Irish jokes, which people who say words like 'arsehole' use.

    Yore ma is a phrase that is used here often (a little too often).
    e.g.
    Person 1: My arse is killing me.
    Person 2: That's what yore ma said to me last night.

    What makes me different. Everything for God's sake you should be happy to have me as a member. I cant believe none of you have rolled out the red carpet for me. Jaysus. .......................Well nothing really I suppose only that I have a modicum of respect for other people and their opinions.

    What would you like to know? Belt away

    What the fuck is with boards this week? People are actually respecting the mods.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,417 ✭✭✭Archeron


    We have Ruu as a moderator who is half robot, half vampire zombie. He never sleeps and he moderates for 27 hours a day, every day. I think boards is fairly unique in that way anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes

    Seconded.

    If you don't like it here, then you don't have to come on here. Just go to the forums (fora?) where you like the people and don't think they're idiots. It's pretty simple.

    Hi. Welcome to boards.ie

    There are 900 or so forums here ranging from tennis to mustard (never take the piss out of the mustard forum. Seriously) to Anime and Manga.

    It can be hard to navigate if you are new, so I suggest you take a bit of time and have a look around.

    Start here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/index.php this is a list of all available forums.
    You may also like to have a look at the boards.ie wiki.
    It's not entirely complete, but it may answer some of your questions.

    Pay no mind to him. He's not a mod on this forum.
    Now bow to me and my awesomeness.


    Most of the people here are friendly and helpful and we do not tolerate personal abuse towards other members.
    We also do not take kindly to muppets.
    Take this as an example:
    Myspace has more 'groups' than Boards. The only places on here I like, are this place, Wrestling, football, it's got some funny and smart people and Fitness. The movie and Fitness forum is ok, but how gay is the LC forum? Idiots.
    You are now on your last warning.
    You were banned from the LC forum and I will have no problem banning you from here if you continue this crap.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy this place and stick around.
    I'm sure you will find your place among us soon enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭oranjeboom


    Thanks Terry. Do I have to bow to you now too. My back is killing from bowing already. Just a quick question? Why doesnt my quick reply not work? I think Ill stick around for a wee while (you aint never getting rid of me now).

    It could be a browser issue.
    Try clearing your cache.

    The site is running a bit slow today (not unusual, but it has been a lot better of late) and this may also be part of the problem.
    Sometimes I have to click it a few times before it works.


    Dave, give it time. I'm not drunk yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭ali.c


    It took me ages to figure out why the quick reply section wasnt working, turns out you have to click the button in a post. Jaysus and i am not even blonde.
    Not implying that that is the problem btw, just thought id throw it out there!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    lol

    Did you not see the text in the quick reply box telling you to do that? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,595 ✭✭✭Gaz

    Jaysus you can be a right arse ...

    Anyway, welcome oranjeboom. You will probably find the odd forum soon enough that you have a real interest in or you could be like Ruu and manage to be upto date with every forum/thread ... seriously i think that bloke has a matrix style internet connection, me suspects he dosnt actually exist in real life.

    What is the tollerance of abusive behavour here by the way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    See the charter at the top of the page.

    There is leeway given in some cases, but it can be strictly enforced if needs be.

    See this thread also for what can happen if you piss me and others off.

    A bit off topic, but I half remember* having Oranjeboom in Utrecht many years ago and really, really enjoying it. Anywhere here sell it?

    * can't fully remember for obvious reasons.

    Oranjeboom, Orangeboom,
    It's a lager, not a ...... and I've forgotten the rest....:D

    Hi Oranjeboom! What makes these boards different?
    Well, for a start, you gotta be quick with the wit, 'cos they all get in before you, and you end up so busy reading, you don't hardly post yaself!

    Well, that's what's happening here, anyway......
