Alternative to boards.ie

Dean820 · 2010-01-23 13:23:48

During the downtime of the forum, I felt Ireland needs another proper big forum like boards as an alternative. This is really our only option for a big forum. It would have been nice if we had somewhere else to go while things were being fixed. Just say, boards.ie went out of business tomorrow, where would everyone go?…

Imagine Google went down - that'd be the end of the internet... you wouldn't be even able to find another search engine. :eek:

Yeh, who the hell needs a forum to talk about the weather all day? Silly, silly meteorological nerds.

If I want to talk to a load of drunk boggers with inferiority issues I'll go to Coppers.

I know - what is the world coming to when you can't express a slighter stronger than usual right-wing view?

Wonder how long before they block boards...

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

Google isn't the be all and end all of all search engines

Peoplesrepublicofcork and Thumped are the only i can think of.
There does seem to be a scarcity of forums like this.

Evil Boards seems to have crushed them all.

What do you mean 'other'? When boards and adverts were down the internet was dead, there are no other websites in existance

Is there an alternative?

boards is good.

But somewhere like this where you can talk about the things we can't talk about here?

There aren't that many topics of discussion which aren't allowed here in fairness

they're listed in the FAQs
Pictures or links to pictures of Porn

Pictures or links to pictures showing nipples and/or genitalia

Child abuse/under age/jailbait/Lolita stuff

How to do illegal things (this ranges from software piracy, to swindling the Revenue Commissioners)

Pictures or links to pictures of self harming

Pro anorexia pictures and websites

Trepanning websites

Bestiality

Ordering medications online.

wtf.. trepanning.. I've always wondered why that specific rule needed to be added. Have people actually posted here looking for instructions on how to drill a hole in their head? I highly recommend doing it
