Hey,

Just wondering how ye all describe what Boards is to people who have never heard of it before?

Gang of geeks without real lives.

A virtual suitcase full of dead monkeys and diarrhea, but route around hard enough and you just might find a nice bracelet.

It's a magical place where all your questions are answered. And in one especially magical area your questions are shot down with sarcasm and wit and then Turd Ferguson comes and sh*ts on it.

It's bored.com, wikipedia and CNN all bundled into one.

Admitting you are a boardsie is somewhat like admitting you are a fan of Michael Jackson

I brought real life friends along to boards beers a couple of times and the next day the friends were like: "but they're really nice!" as if boards people would be different from them somehow.

I tend to just say, "Oh, don't even ask!". Most of my friends already think I'm mental for going to beers and meeting people from the internet! If you're not on Boards, I think it's hard to understand!

the place that steals hours of my life

TheRealist

Internet forum.

InkSlinger67

It's a site where everyone has an opinion, no matter how wrong

a.k.a. The Joe Duffy Show for under 40's

Lia_lia

"a forum"

Agricola

Its just an internet forum ffs. Its not like explainin the finer points of a new exotic religion you've taken up. Although for alot of people here it seems to be a sort of religion!

OctavarIan

To people who don't use the internet much: A place online where people talk
To people who do use the internet a lot: A forum without the humour/drama that others have, but hey it's IRISH SO IT'S GOOD RIGHT

A Quake forum that got over run by tards.

You know it's never come up...

probably just an internet discussion site

Informative, annoying, funny and infuriating.

It's like a pub where strangers are sitting at each table discussing a different topic. Some people like to move between the tables through the evening, and some stick to just one table. Some tables need an invite. And there are some rooms open to staff only.

Each table has a leader who sets the rules for the discussion and can stop you from sitting at the table. The conversation topics range from toilet humour to theoretical physics. Most of the people sitting at the tables think they are comedians and very witty. In truth, only some of them are.

If you are really nice, and have some new interesting topic to talk about, you can get your own table and be the leader for it. .
However, some people get carried away and end up thinking that they are participating in a boxing match. The table leaders give them a warning or a slap to the head, whichever is most appropriate. Sometimes someone does something really bad and the Publican has to step in and kick some ass Kung Fu style.

The great thing about this pub is that it is free and full of interesting people. The worst thing is that you have to bring your own beer. The really great thing is that they have a table for sex.

As much coke and hookers as you desire (Just to real them in )

A place where opinions are restricted by the Moderator's. I got banned from Reality Tv for saying that Geraldine from the Apprentice was a member of the 'travelling community'. Am I not entitled to say this? Free speech?? It's what I feel:)

"Buying or selling wrapping paper". No thanks, Geraldine.:rolleyes:
