    No, they should be banned outright.

    Of course they should. They should have to pay the same €65 registration fee and €30 a month as the rest of us.

    No, why should they have to? I don't think they should have to ask Boards for permission to use stuff posted here either.

    Why do you ask such a question OP? And when you say pay, do you mean that they should be charged a fee and then have access to anything that appears on Boards? From what I understand if a journalist is interested in something on here they simply PM the poster and if they agree to talk to the journalist they do so directly. So I'm not sure what your're asking and why?

    I would truly love to know how many well known posters are actually journalists

    Does anyone have any particular posters they think are hacks?

    Nothing much. Standard bi-annual boards drinkies, with 5 ounces of coke at entrance, and 3 free hookers. Nothing compared to what the gold members get :eek: Why else do you think Daft.ie wanted part of boards?

    They shouldn't have to, but Boards.ie shouldn't have to be responsible for the opinions posted here either.

    Yep she makes me all stoned too.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
