How did you discover Boards?

pablomakaveli

So what was it that led you here?

I was looking for information on how to connect my PS3 to my mobile broadband. I followed a search result on google to a thread in the Broadband forum . I ended up registering so i could post on the thread and then ended up looking around the site and ended up staying.

I was on google looking for Irish places to discuss stand-up comedy and pro wrestling, both searches brought me here so I registered and hung about. A year later I was modding both forums, which was weird

kincsem

DeVore and Musician told me about it in the Fitzwilliam.

donmeister

Referred to by a friend for info about GTA San Andreas I think, well before I thought of registration!

Bajingo

I think I was looking for mock papers or something for the leaving cert..et woolah! What would my life be without you boards?

I wanted to post to the Phantom FM message-board, which is hosted by here. And now I'm a moderator for Alternative & Indie and Radio - also weird.

After Phantom, I discovered Film, then Personal Issues, then All Things Retro... then After Hours.

I was drunk and my girlfriend was boring me..

Or i was drunk and not boring into my girlfriend..

Both are equally true.

Thank you.

I didn't really notice either - it's a very quiet, well-behaved forum.

It's your retirement package after modding this nuthouse, like being given a nice little cottage in the country by the government as a thank you after running the countries largest mental asylum





*grumbles* I didn't get no fupping retirement cottage and I modded frigging pro wrestling, TWICE! :mad:

Hilarity ensued.....

The psychology forum is for the discussion of the science of psychology and related issues, no medical advice is permitted under any circustances. The soccer forum has some kind of underlying quality that turns otherwise rational people into complete and utter abusive lunatics unless measures are taken to cut out the insanity. Your point?

Looking for info about Ireland, a year before imagining I would have been an immigrant...to Ireland.

Very true.. for instance I cannot go into the Soccer forum and say that Liverpool fans are the biggest **** in the world and follow the crappiest club or that the town itself is the biggest sh1thole in the world..
If I did say that in there I'll be banned from it
