    I find it worrying that a certain poker site is high in the list.
    As having personally witnessed too many times, the effects of gambling on devastated broke families, the ease now of even more avenues to lose money is a trend I'd not like to see increasing.

    Funny i would have though it would be porn

    Boards is 21, not bad. Highest porn is 23.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0

    sure says a lot about our country when you go further down the list,

    also a great way of keeping up with some cool sites,

    I wonder will all the polish sites be there in a year or two.

    Forget all that propaganda , you are posting on the most popular website right now.

    / IMO.

    Seriously, I would have thought boards.ie would have been in the top 100.

    I'll have to get the word out more about this site. We can do better!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,006 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    The polish version of Bebo is pretty high

    ha they must all be online in Gort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Yeah that's the only one that really jumped out at me.

    Thought boards.ie would have been higher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,708 ✭✭✭allybhoy


    Yeh nothing new here, there was a similar list published back in October.
    The only surprising one for me is party poker, dont know any1 who uses it, would have thought paddy's or ladbrokes would be above it. Perhaps its because party poker always have ad's and pop ups on the likes of mega video so that probably increases their hit rate.

    It also shows you how lazy some people are in not changing the default homepage and search engine in IE from msn and live. There is no way both of those pages should be make the top 10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 705 ✭✭✭yurmothrintites


    What I find funny is the quote from #99 www.myhome.ie when daft.ie #17 is clearly more popular.

    "Welcome to MyHome.ie, No. 1 property website for Irish Property providing property in Ireland" Myhome.ie

    "Daft.ie is Ireland s no.1 property website across all demographics, from first-time-buyers to commercial property investors" Daft.ie

    party pokers software is bad. It opens page after page everytime u leave, quit, join a new table, for this reason alone its extremly misleading,

    as is the myth that poker is "gambing", in my eyes its a game of skill.

    Doubt it. It used to be big until it lost all USA customers, Stars and Full Tilt are alot bigger but if you can prove me wrong so be it :)

    shush you. I dont have anything better to do. Interesting to be given new sites to look at.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I feel like I personally got about 3 of those sites on the list


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    How is this measured?

    I know partypoker pops up from either imageshack or photobucket all the time.

    Anyway, I'll be checking out no. 23 later.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭RATM
