    what do you mean


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    ive always wanted to know what the advantages of it are, so guess this is my chance to learn...


    so, why would people do it??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    I do because I have gotten a fair bit from this site. If i could put money directly on the bedside table of the admins I'd do that too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭Varkov


    6th...........you're a ****ing fag.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I don't because I don't have a credit card and I can't afford €50 a year. Damn recession.

    [Edit: ^^^^^ for fecks sake, he got in just before me!!! ]

    +1
    Lack of monies is ze problem.


    As far as I know, the main benefits are getting a customised avatar, being able to change your name, and access forums like Sex and Sexuality.


    I'd just do it to change my name.
    Tis useless.
    :o

    No, its optional and the admins have never pushed anyone to give. Despite that many regular users still subscribe because they want to give something back.

    Frodo crossed with Batman......fail, or epic?
    I can't decide....

    At the risk of taking down the tone of AH.....me thinks Bijoux is a cool username.

    I don't subscribe because I think access to SandS might scar my innocent little mind for life and I mind my 50 euro notes. At least for the time being.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    hows many people subscribe?

    ive always wanted to know what the advantages of it are, so guess this is my chance to learn...


    so, why would people do it??

    Access to the sex & sexuality forum I'd say would be the biggest plus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I don't subscribe because it's cheaper than subscribing.

    Yes, there are benefits to subscribing. But I prefer enjoying the main benefit of non-subscribing - not having to pay for a subscription.

    Having said that, I've thought about it and might do at some point. (Custom avatar would be nice....)

    Aw shucks :o

    +1 on the S&S issue, I think once I would start going into it, I would never leave....eek!
    Epic fail I think. :o

    LOL then its time to subscribe dude.
    Or change your avatar to something that goes with Frodo.
    If such a thing exists. :D

    Surely you could stab the person who's winning the contest with the fork?



    Hypothetical homocide FTW

    Edit: T'would be quite hard to kill someone with a fork though....ara sure ya could have a stab at it.

    I can't afford it. :( I'd consider subscribing for the sex forum but I can't afford that either...

    Sam perhaps?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭Varkov


    How about:

    Freeze the soup. (“Waiter, I asked for some really cold Gazpacho.”)
    Use the fork to pick up a piece of bread which can then be used to soak up larger volumes of soup.

    Bend the fork tines to create a pair of pincer grips for grabbing the edge of the soup bowl, and bend the fork handle around to look like a cup handle. Grab the edge of the bowl with your newly formed pincer grips. You’ve just turned the bowl and fork system into a gigantic mug. (I take no responsibility for your dry cleaning bills or any restaurant blacklisting you may encounter should you try this idea.)

    Are all these ideas winners? Probably


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    I always wanted to subscribe, the thing is i have 3 accounts... So i dunno which one i want to subscribe with.

    €50 a yr is cheap... Would put a reminder now, to subscribe...

    Hopefully Cult would get a pay rise when we all subscribe ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    i has no money.

    I used to but sex and sexuality is akin to three dirty old men shuffling about a bus stop so I didn't bother any more.

    In my mind it was full of sticky whores and gold toilets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭Bijoux

    Free porn website perhaps?

    I was thinking more along the lines of hairy feet....but you need so subscribe for that I suppose.
    :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    I subscribe

    Mainly because I know a little about the time and effort that the admins put in.

    When I first started college, boards.ie was of great value to me, especially the old Tech forums.

    Warm Fuzzy feeling ftw!

    Exactly, it's all leading to a classic catch-22 situation, hence it's simply impossible for me to consider subscribing. Even thinking about it and knowing I can't afford to is just killing me inside.

    Thanks for making me die inside, Bijoux.

    Now now, let's not judge - she may have multiple personalities, in which case it's only fair that each respective personality has their own account.

    Are you some kind of Boards.ie attack dog or sommat.

    Are you on some kind of commission?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭Jay D


    I'd never bother. What kind of real benefits are there like come on. Access to sex and sexuality? Sure there are countless free forums available covering everything. Avator change, laughable. As for keeping the site going surely the amount of ads are covering that.

    I suppose if you like it enough then why not but I just wouldn't.
