Other boards forums...

Scubadevils

A comment in the random thread inspired this one - there was mention of the weather forum which I must admit to having frequented (a lot) when the snow was around... the big kid in me still loves snow and weather disruption!

Anyway, what other forums do the folk of these parts frequent?

I pretty much stick to here, sometimes the experimental music forum and also the music forum. More recently the martial arts forum and I'd throw a glance at After Hours. Pretty much it though!

I'm a hardy traveller when it comes to other areas in Boards. This is my first port of call, but the other places I frequent are;

Golf
Soccer
Rugby
Spurs Supporters
Fitness
Weather
Motoring (Motorbike/Motors)
Xbox
Photography
Weather
and of course AH

I wouldn't contribute in many of the above though, except for Golf and Spurs Supporters. I enjoy this forum the most though.

Eddie Ere

This is also my first stop and most frequented. Despite the fact I know no-one here!

Besides from that I can make special guest appearances in:


Sligo
Mayo
(both of the above are the forums, not the counties )
AH
Bargain Alerts
Films
True Blood
Photography
Playstation
F&A


As above I probably enjoy this forum the most.

VinylJunkie

Soccer
AH
Golf
Xbox

I sometimes read latest the threads thats posted on the homepage.

Edit:
Cycling
Humor
Zombie Survival < For a laugh, don't post tough.

I hover about on the religious forums with the occasional post on the atheist & agnostic forum...

Other than that I go on the sports forums from time to time - eg rugby, GAA and very rarely the cricket one.

I'd say a good 80% of my posts are here, and in dance music production. I went through a spate of posting on AH, but soon you realise it's ****. Also went through a spate in cycling, but got bored. Then the TCD forum, the Dublin City forum every now and then, and recently started in instruments, which is a lot like this, but for guitar players.

Why has no one said personal issues yet?? It's definitely the funniest place on boards!

The way I browse boards is any of the forums I have a vague interest in at all, I subscribe to, then I use this link: http://boards.ie/index.php?filter=subbed which shows you the last 50 posts or so. Mainly I would read:

Bargain Alerts
Photography
Motors
Motorbikes
Computers & Technology
Film (Reviews)
Religion/atheist
Conspiracy Theories
The Gentlemen's Club

eeloe

electronic music and DJing
Waterford city
Waterford County

I'm mostly on here and the Cycling forum at the moment.

Used to frequent the Soccer and Boxing forums a good bit, but both of them have gone to the dogs.

The Fitness forum provided me with some great help over the years in relation to strength training and nutrition, don't be on there as much nowadays though.

have been banned from the personal issues and lesbian gay transgender forums a few times alright, was ages ago though, when i was confused :P

Diego Smartly

Ah jaysus!! AH drives me up the fcuking wall. The amount of unfunny, sarcatic spanners just dying for their posts to be thanked is unbelievable.

I'm mostly in here, but I do wander into the Hip Hop, Soccer, MMA and some of the science threads every now and again. I do find myself in The Ladies Lounge alot aswell, mostly rating the picture thread and just tryna gain an insight into a woman's mind lol

Personal and Relationship Issues are quality!

I got banned from the Islam forum once for a supposed 'attack' on islam. I just asked the posters were they serious when they started a thread about womens clothing.

I've been a regular on many of the boards forums for years. Started with the poker one a long time ago, when we all knew each other from playing in the fitz, merrion, etc. and gradually became a regular around the music ones.

I've got some pretty epic temporary bans in my time here.

Got a full month ban from the music production one, and then got sitebanned for a week over the Gerry Ryan debacle. Every ban was a situation of knowing full well a ban was coming but the joke was too much to resist. Think I'm still banned from the paranormal forum (oh noes), and a few others.

My opinion of boards has severely changed over the past year or so, as I see the commercial interests of the place are harming it. Far too many competitions, far too much 'community development' nonsense, and far far far too much fear that boards is gonna get sued.
It seems to be lost on the admins that if boards were to be taken to court, the negative publicity would generate sooooo much more ad revenue over time that it would have to be some sort of epic lawsuit for it to be a bad thing overall.

After Hours drains me of the will to live. But there are no greater arseholes on boards than the non-mods and non-admins who hang around Feedback licking arse.

Also I think boards has made me very sexist. Because when the real pinnacle of human stupidity reveals itself on forums, it tends to be a female posting it. In general, of course.

The poker forums were brilliant a long long time ago, and this place is a good laugh, but other than that it's too easy to get wound up by absolute gobsh1tes on boards as a whole.

That whole Feedback lick árse thing does my head in.

Can't say I read feedback too much, what is the lick arse thing?

Haven't read it in years as I don't get the time anymore (and it was doing my head in), but the general theme of the place is that some put upon poster comes on whining about the injustices of the world of internet posting and then all the LA's butt in by saying "thems the rules, thems the rules".
Bit like if you complained to School Teacher about something only to have the Teacher's pet get on your case telling you you're in the wrong.

Some people say that AH is like an accurate cross section of the Irish Public. I really don't think that's true - or at least for the sake of humanity I sincerely hope it's not anyway. We all know the basis/history of boards is socially inept nerds and that really has not changed all that much.

More like a cross section of IT workers and third-level students, as well as bored office workers (I'm an accountant and fall into the latter category), judging by the last Boards census. Most of the time the day would go by without one topic of interest coming up but the idiocy is catching I end up engaging anyway; looking back through my history some of the inane crap I've posted is nearly embarrassing.

Having a glance back at the place a few years ago there seemd to be some decent discussion going, but at some point before I joined the Thanks system came in and now it's mainly bad jokes and ****ty soundbites as posters clamber over each other in an attempt to gain acceptance from their e-peers.

Apart from that, I lurk Humanities, A&A, and Humanities as there are some pretty interesting debates going on, as well as this forum and Gigs & Events. Bargain Alerts is pretty nifty too.

ill have a look at my old pms later and see if i have links to things i was banned for!

Does anyone ever remember this thread in After Hours; where some guy went to a party and went fora kip no the floor in his mates bedroom where his mate was asleep in his bed, 20 mins later some other lad comes into the room and jumps into the bed with the other guy. However as he's drifting off to sleep he hears moaning noises - the two lads (his two mates) are properly getting it on! He does not know whether to pretned to sleep or to get out of there, so he waits and hopes it stops, until he heard belt buckles being undone and so he picks up his sleeping bag and makes a dart for the door.

One of the funniest things I have ever read... link us up if anyone knows it..

Well Stacey told Andrea that I had been getting off with Shelley and I was like OMG because she is like such a slut and everybody says she's got herpes and I wouldn't go near her even if I was really, really drunk. Stacey is just pissed off because I wouldn't let her go near me but who would? Honestly, first she has six bacardi breezers and then gets sick all down her tits and then she's like all over me to give me head and I'm like 'not with that mouth missy, talk to the hand!' and then she gets all mad calling me a vag-tease and pushing me around and then gets sick all over her tits again! Disgusting! But anyways I'm really pissed off now because I really wanted to get off with Andrea and I had been trying all my best moves, even the one where I pretend to be a robot - girls love that! - but now she won't go near me. Stacey's such a bitch!






Oh, you're talking about the thread? Some people were giving out about a forum and the forum came on and said it hurt their feelings after everything they'd done for this forum and so this forum got all regretful and took back what they said about the other forum and I think this forum is going to buy some flowers and chocolates to give to the other forum to try and make it up to the other forum. Or something…
