How were you introduced/find boards.ie

Papa_Lazarou

So were you looking for a forum of some sort,linked to it by a friend or just found it by chance?

I myself found this place from a friend who told me there was a brilliant photoshop tennis thread which now has been running for over two years!

alwaysadub

Found it when the floods in Galway happened,googled it and found this-it was a lifesaver. Been hooked ever since.

Gone West

was playing quake or tribes and signed up to give abuse to the rest of the quake heads at the time.

brummytom

Searched for a poem, "The Lament For Brendan Behan" by Joe O'Broin, it took me to the Trad forum and I found AH and never managed to escape

smiley girl

I was looking up something (no idea what it was now!) and the Google results showed boards.ie had the answer!! If its on boards.ie it must be true ! I signed up and became a little hooked

AARRRGH

A friend of my (the user TacT) was browsing it so I went and checked it out myself.

I still curse him to this day!

SoupyNorman

Well, one day I was on the internet.

Papa_Lazarou

I think thats the case a lot. Lookign for somethign realy specific and then the place latches onto you.

Rayne

I was looking for some sort of relief from the chicken pox. Googled 'relief from chicken pox' and a few threads came up....

Didn't join immediately, didn't fully understand the get up...

But now I'm hooked, check it everyday and hate missing out on anything! :P

445279.ie

was looking for the codes for the BBC and ITV channels for satellite and a friend gave me a print out from boards.ie and just checked it out.

Like everyone else, hooked since

Mental_Legend

I searched for help for questions from exam papers on Google and this website was one of the first to come up.

sam34

i googled my hometown and a thread from here popped up

Aodan83

Friend showed me a few pics from tattoos and piercings, I think. Had a bit of a look around the rest of the forums and a few weeks later signed up so I could post on a couple of threads. Didnt post much for a few months, until around the time I started 6th year. Dont think I posted at all in the leaving cert forum though..

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Studying for blackhalls and came across the legal discussion forum, more than likely wouldnt have passed them otherwise as its where i got all my material, college notes had rather large gaps

Didn't use it for another couple of years and now in my unemployed state spend most of my day here

KatCookie

I was looking up the answer to a Crossword (wasnt cheating, it was the last answer!) and I found Boards under the Games tab, i thought Boards was a website dedicated to every type of game!
but i went back to the website a few days later, found lots of interesting forums and signed up!

This_Years_Love

I found it in a google search while looking for something else... can't remember what.

Ha Ha - yeah it was pretty much all good. We were new and people were asking had anyone heard about us / could we be trusted etc. We've been mentioned quite a bit around the boards since, I'd say 99% positive - can't please everyone

No little plug for you business??;)

Oh and i found boards throught googleing for something.
Cant remember what.

Ickle Magoo

Someone on a parenting forum was moaning about it, saying not to go on boards and everyone was rude and obnoxious and didn't take themselves or anyone else seriously enough - I thought it sounding like the place for me, popped over to see what all the fuss what about & haven't been back to the other one.

Boxfresh

boards.ie is the new google

Thomas828

I first heard about Boards.ie in June last year. It was mentioned in the Irish Independent in reports about the concert at Slane Castle, the one headlined by Oasis. So now Boards.ie has one more loyal member thanks to the Indo!

That's left to my other account

Twee.

It was near Leaving Cert time and I was doing frantic googling for help, and lo and behold I found Boards. It all went downhill from there

iguy

I was on alexa.com one day and I saw boards.ie on a list and I just joined it.
However I did go on boards as a guest sometimes because I search things on wikipedia about Ireland or Tv3 or rte or whatnot and there would be a boards link and I would go to it.

melekalikimaka

after collarsup.net died, agent smith showed me to here

CrazyRabbit

Those Airsofters brought me here. Some insane Admin gave Airsofters their own forum, and I signed up to ask a question there. 3200+ posts later and I'm still here.

Overheal

saw a bunch of people using it in IT Carlow, typed in the URL, poked around, got interested.

search : crappy forum site

Brian

I'm not entirely sure. For several years I lived here convinced that Irish people didn't know how to use the Internet. I guess the unified nature of boards.ie means that there aren't that many outlying Irish fora since most interests are suitably accounted for here. So if you don't come across boards, you don't come across too many Irish people. Plus, it's not like I was searchng for "Irish forum" or anything.

Daysha

Looking for English notes for the 2005 Junior Cert. Specifically made my account to tell the OP how much of a lifesaver that person was at the time. Ended up with an A (mainly because of that poster) but completely forgot their username and haven't heard from him/her since.

BluesBerry

Boards kept popping up in searches so decided to sign up it covers a wide range of things

ashyle

I was searching for exam help before my leaving cert, google threw this site up first

Boards.ie doesn't come anywhere for that search.

I got this as first result:

Crappy Forum Site search on Google

Papa_Lazarou

Seems like some people owe a lot to this site for helping them pass exams etc

Best mate recommended it back in 2002 so I registered but it didn't hold any appeal to me until 2006 when I finished college and realised that it was a way to pass time in a mundane working post-education existence.

Seaneh

Quake/CS/Tribes.

Encoder1970

Looking for info and eventually regged. Have friends here.

cournioni

Can't really remember, it was so long ago. Probably google.

Atavan-Halen

I discovered it twice actually. A friend told me about the freebie thread and I signed up and read it, then stopped logging on. Then a few months later I was looking for retro games and came across the Arcade and Retro forum, remembered I had an account and decided to stick around from there Glad I did aswell.

m@cc@

Sought as a replacement for the boards at oxegen.ie. It was more than up to the task......
