    I think it's important that there are a lot of men on boards. I mean, who else is going to remind us women that the washing/ironing/dusting/cooking needs to be done?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    I dunno, coastguard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    I always thought the Coastguard were missing their true calling.

    And yeah, shock horror, forum has more guys, and they're mostly white, in a country that's... mostly white... :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    I hear the coastguard is mostly white and male.
    It's a conspiracy - the crackers are out to get us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Take it no-one else has noticed that in some graphs a high score in the "index" (i.e. made up values) gives a high %age whereas in others it gives a low %age, pretty much a case of making the percentages say whatever they want, depending on which set they choose to look at, from what I can see. Apparently we have below average %age of caucasian but above average Asian and "other". They don't seem to give any source figures for the graphs whatsoever. I'd trust the data one might find in dogsh*t they just stepped in more than that site, if nothing else anyone who lied about gender, ethnicity, age, etc... during sign-up is upsetting their figures.

    In the meantime though I welcome our Asian overlords and ask only that the do not rule this place like either China or North Korea.

    6% african american make up boards.ie viewers, what????????????

    i can see it now people from the bronx and south central logging onto boards each morning.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,560 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Too male? Maybe.

    Too white? Since the majority of users are from Ireland then i'd imagine the whiteness of it all is about right.
