The first ever thread on boards.ie?

What was it? What were they moaning about then? Is it still there?

Also on a side note, because of the 500 post count limit, do some of the more veteran posters remember their first post?

mike65, I'm looking at you

something about Quake I imagine

Quazzie

It was about how foreigners and travellers were taking over the quake servers.

It was about Ireland and how wonderful a country we have and how lucky we all were plus FF were doing a great job.

no twas my first ever post but....not sure what the very first post, very first thread was on boards...sure I could thrall through and find something with my excellent IT Skills!

Motley Crue

I'm fast approaching No 3,000 and I know my first one was in December of the year I joined (2004). It was the 22nd according to my control panel.

I would have posted the minute I registered, as it would have seemed natural for me not to want to join a site unless I had something to say, and I'm thinking it would have had something to do with the Rock and Metal or Gigs forum.

Then again, it could have had something to do with Christmas....

I couldn't honestly tell you, but then, most of the posts I made in the 1,000 were limited to solely inside the Rock and Metal/Gigs and Events forums

Hi,

I'm just new to this board but have a question some people might be able to help with.

I'm applying to the Army cadets this year (sent the form today) and I was just wondering if anyone on here has experience of the interviews, tests etc. that you have to do or if anyone has actually done the cadet training.

Any info at all is much appreciated.

cheers

Yes it does.

Does that mean we have over 2 million threads since inception?

Also, what's the 500 post limit? I hadn't heard of that before.

Quite hypocritical, because this post isn't exactly on topic either, it's also useless and utter rubbish.

He/she is just enjoying himself, and considering this is After Hours I can't see many people having an issue with him having a chat with someone in the thread, it's very rare that topics in here consist of posts soley on topic.
