What did everyone do before Boards........

Dilynnio

I was thinking about all the time that I spend on the internet and on boards and I am trying to think of what people did in the past while in work or at home etc.....to pass the time?

I would be lost without it and bored to death......My days would be long and unfulfilled !!!:D

Might be a wild guess, but maybe they actually did some work, like they are being paid to do.

Before BOARDS there were other forums!

Ok so what did people do before the internet came around?

What would you be doing right now if you had no internet?

I just can not imagine what life was like before it!:(

Everyone fapped a lot, but it took longer cos there was no redtube, and magazines are expensive.

I've been using the internet since about 1997 so before that I was busy with sports, primary school and my Sega Game Gear.

Without it I'd be busy with sports, college and my Xbox 360.

Gannicus

I used to fight crime in a form fitting costume

cherryghost

Unreal Tournament

Gummy Panda

Trolled IRC and MPlayer's religious chat rooms

easyeason3

I had to work.
Not just show up to work but actually show up & do something constructive.

Thomas828

I used to draw cartoons with highly ornate lettering and borders. I also compiled lists of towns that didn't actually exist. I listed all the foreign radio stations I could receive.

Yawns

Minesweeper!


When I first started using the internet it was 56k gaming all the way. Free NTL dialup. Only had to click reconnect every 2 hours!

Delta Force was so good! Noone could hit me but I could hit them. Had it perfected. Just aimed where they would be in about 10 secs as they ran and bang they died.

mariaf24

Bebo addict. Closed bebo, joined boards - Yay

Lando Griffin

I would be ringing the operator and asking to reverse the call home so that I could be collected from the pub, now I can Text or Send an e mail with the same request.

00112984

I had my dinner, watched Coronation St. and checked my e-mail.

Then Boards.

CrazyRabbit

There was nothing. All those other forums and internet sites were planted there by God to test our faith. And BBS's (Bulletin Boards Systems) are actually only 3 years old.

Don't you dare mock my creationist beliefs, or the Internet God will smite you to hell.

Sanjuro

Was on the Oxegen board for a while until dem dat shant be named shut it down for some inexplicable reason. Then came here.

jd007

I used to go out in the real world and talk to actual people! :eek: Man, that was scary..

Wolflikeme

Not on it that much, I have a life outside the interent..kinda!!

What I don't get are people who seemingly spend day in day out on here.

But hey that's them, I'm not judging.

Elliemental

Boards.ie hasn't quite taken over my life. I read a lot more than I post, but I'd miss it big time if it ever disappeared.

You liar!

Abrasax

I had a real life before I started here.
I began posting in SD\MA and then got sucked in here to AH, attracted by the weird thread titles in the front page.

Dord

PK2008

I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate

CHICKENROLL

Dilynnio

Thanks for all the replies!

I have literally been in bed the past few weeks after an operation and I just can not imagine how I would get threw the days if I didn't have the internet and boards.....

The generation before us must have been bored to tears laying around all day recovering!

C'mon I am just curious.....plus i have all the time in the world to think up these threads! :eek:

I_AmThe_Walrus

Don't know what all the hoopla is about on boards. It's the slowest moving forum I frequent. It's very slow in fact.
