What would you do without boards..

Quality · 2009-10-21 11:02:05

So you arrive into work on a dreary Monday morning, ready to sign in to boards to cheer yourself up and there is a notice saying Boards has been closed down!! The reality hits you... No more After hours, No more bítchfests in feedback, No more Mods abusing their power. (Mod note: We do not abuse our powers :mad: - Frada)…

I guess I'd have to embrace my fears of the outside world and actually do that strange thing I've only ever heard of - Talk to real people.

Real answer however is start a new Irish forums based site. There would be a real opening for one.

Boards.ie, if I ever lost you I don't know what I would do. ... I'd probably move on, get another forum but there would be a 15 minute period there where I would just be inconsolable.

I'd probably actually do something meaningful, but it's ok since Boards is here and will be forever and ever and ever.

I'd probably suffer a lot lesss migrane than I do from staring at a laptop screen scrolling thru boards. And because I check boards mobile on my lunchtime sometimes I would probably have more time to get a better lunch....
