    Seriously for the life of me I'd have to change career..boards is the only thing that gets me though the day in IT.

    What did people do in work before it to pass the time ? And I don't mean work :)

    Believe it or not, some of them might have actually worked. The rest came up with stupid shit like lolcats,and those motivational posters. Then there was that one guy who invented boards.ie.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    I'd be a lot further into my masters than I currently am :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,550 ✭✭✭Slig


    I'd probably be securely imployed as I'd be working instead of stressing out that I have loads to do and no intention of doing it.

    No boards? Does not compute


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 Gyladene


    I'm new to these parts, so I'd probably just go back to doing whatever I was doing before.

    ...I'll get back to you when I remember exactly what that was.

    I'd invent boards and be rich! Rich as Nazi's!

    If boards didn't exist I'd create boards and become a billionaire.

    Probably use the internet less.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭Kashkai


    No Boards :eek:

    Then I'd lose my only reason to come to work, i.e. to post on Boards all day :D

    Hell if there were no Boards.ie, I'd finally realise what a ****e waste of time my job is and I'd grab my gun and go on a rampage. So Boards is saving my fellow employees lives and they don't even know it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,681 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    I'd just keep hitting refresh till it came back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,167 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I used to hurt my neck wathcing the big LED clock behind my head because I was too blind to see the one at the other end.

    I also worked in a call centre with lots and lots of women with tight black pants. Life was good but invariably I was caught looking by Joanne in front of me because I had to look over her shoulder. I asked her many times to lean to the left of right so I could see somebodies bottom. What a Perv :D

    I used to entertain myself with the power of the head of Sports & Social and used to love telling the uglies that I would not be sponsoring them for the local beauty pagent. One guy asked me about money for the alternative miss limerick. I strongly considered it but for fear of a stoning by feminists I could not.

    You could hide in the mens toilets for ages because there were 750+ employees and 23 men with 6 mens toilets. I was upstairs where there were only 3 men and 85+ women. Lots of bottoms and breasts.

    Sadly my computer screen faced the stairs behind me so I could not see who was coming so could not meddle on the net.

    Thinking of all those bottoms and breasts I may just rub one out :eek:

    plenty of better forums out there

    if this place wasn't irish it'd probably have about 4 members


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    I'd sleep more, as I don't have a job right now.

    When I had a job, I almost lost it because of boards! :o

    I suppose if I was working and it went I'd just sit on gmail chatting all day. And hitting refresh on the snoweye.com webcams from Oberstdorf and looking at my countdown clocks to when I'd be going snowboarding next. That's what I did in my last proper job anyway! :D

    if this place wasn't irish, or if there was a good alternative irish board then i would rarely use boards
    its way to strict, theres too many sub forums, everyone uses tbh in every second post they make

    I'd probably sit cross legged in a corner, rocking back & forward while **** and crying myself stupid, until I was one big gooey ball of tears and children...


    Na really, I'd still probably be hooked on 4chan :D

    If boards.ie didn't exist I'd have probably found the antidote to that poison I took 2 years ago!

    Sweet something of somewhere its tough getting a Ripwave signal down here in in limbo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    As long as I've had broadband access Ive known boards.ie - I'd probably revert back to the modem days when I only used the internet for porn and SNES Roms.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,365 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Same as I do every day, work. Boards is barred where I work. :mad:

    It was banned in my last job too so I got a new one where I could access Boards, that is until the feckers cop on that I'm doing shag all.....all day long and getting paid for it:D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭GalwayKiefer


    Probably talk to my girlfriend more in the evenings...she's considering a time limit on my boards access... Grrr.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    I don't know if we have access to Boards in work, I only use the net in work for eircom phonebook, golden pages, google maps or AA Roadwatch. No time to be messing around online, I just about get the time to do my work.

    Anyone want to swap?

    Tell "yore ma" jokes to myself. Even though I hate them. Just for old times' sake. *sniff*

    Though, I haven't posted for a week or so, and I actually studied and socialized in the spare time I had. Boy, is that over-rated. Pointless arguments and online 'friends' ftw!

    Use other forums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    I think the most interesting question is how much more productive would our workforce be if boards didn't exist? :p

    You should consider putting a time limit on your gf. This time tomorrow to have all of her stuff out is not unreasonable.


    If there was no boards.ie I would.. I would..

    The problem is that, with the exception of forums that focus on fairly small/specialised groups, forums without strict rules all devolve into the kind of abusive idiot sp33ek that you see in the comments on youtube.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭Mark200


    To be honest without boards I probably wouldn't be worried about failing my summer college exams

    She came over to see what i was laughing at...now I'm going to have to find out tomorrow what to do without a laptop cos she's hiding it when I'm at work.

    Sigh.

    Theres easier ways than this buddy. Horse her out the door. Get a bloke to flat share with you and half the rent.

    Spend your time and money the way you really want to. Drink, drugs and hookers and all the boards you want.

    boards doesnt look quite right in that line up actually.. Never mind. I was making a point.

    And Ive forgotten what that was. Oh yes. Turf out the witch.

    Ah the good ole days. It was a time of pure internet.. piracy & porn!:pac:

    If boards didn't exisit i'd probably masturbate all day furiously. It keeps me paced now

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭useful_contacts


    Would you miss it? Seriously now?

    TBH id prob be heartbroken, im on here nearly every day.:( That doesnt half make me sound like a loser:(

    But what would you do in work when you can no longer say "yore ma" on AH?

    Can no longer vote on pointless polls?

    Can no longer laugh in the Humour Forum

    Oh Boards dont ever leave us *begins Mexican Wave*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    *carries on irish wave*
