As we receive our offers today it's set in stone now that for the majority of us our time in this forum (leaving cert bit) has come to an end.

I would just like to say a big thanks to boards and also to everyone on here for the tips,help and just general encouragement throughout the last few months.

This was my saviour in the weeks leading up to the L.C as it narrowed my study and gave me a direction in which to work.

THANKS.

Let's give it up for the mods, guys.

They had an extra-demanding year, what with the Apocalyptic furore over English II and all. Stellar people. Thanks.

Thank you all. You helped keep my sanity (relatively) intact during the LC, and for that, I'm extremely grateful.

I, eh, couldn't have done it without you.

Seriously though lads, do you not think you wasted a lot of studying time on boards?? I know I did:D Still, a great help it must be said. One thing I'll say is that there's a lovely, friendly atmosphere in this forum, from the mods right down to the members. I hope this continues on.

Thanks for the nice words, guys, mods tend to get more roars of Modnazi!!1! :mad: than thanks!

Remember that there is more to Boards than the LC forum ... many of you may find the college forums esp. useful in the near future.

Yeah thanks to all,People who helped out,The mods keeping the place tidy,ESPECIALLY during English Paper panic :pac:

It's quite good to look back on it knowing all the panic is over and for most of us,We'll never have to sit any exam as hard as that again(unlucky for those in Medicine,I'd assume the Leaving will be easy compared to theirs :pac: )

All in all it was good while I was here,And I'll try my best to help out the "Twenty ten" students when I'm all finished with my first year exams

EDit:Also thanks to all the mods who were temporarily drafted in for the 40,000 view 1,000 reply thread,Or something crazy like that

This forum was a huge help to me when I did my exams 2 years ago and this year I was very happy to help out. It's a fantastic resource for anyone doing the dreaded exams and every year it has so students, former students and teachers making great contributions to it.

So thanks to everyone who was part of the forum this year and best of luck to everyone who is going off to college!
