    I'm really not too sure how I found boards, I think I was looking for an Irish gaming forum and Google made me stumble upon this gem of a website. I continue to use boards, as I find the Irish perspectives familiar and to a large extent, some of the funniest stuff I've read online ;)

    So, how did the rest of ya's find out about boards.ie? and what made ya stay as a regular poster?

    Used to play Quake online with a lot of the first members. Can't remember why I eventually registered, but it was more than a Quake forum at that stage.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: I googled 'how to cheat in the Junior Cert' and Boards popped right up.


    Didn't help with my JC cheating though. (The leaving cert Mocks on the other hand...)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 940 ✭✭✭kerryman12

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    When I googleD a certain 'company' ,it led me to here-there's still a thread going about the guy's shennanigans.Spend a good bit of time lurking in AH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭Raspberries


    I think I was looking for advice on something, can't remember what though. It was kinda weird, I was thinking about it and said to myself, perhaps the internet has the solution to my problem. And then in the recesses of my brain the term 'boards' appeared. I think it might have been from advertising a few years ago. Did boards advertise on the radio at some stage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭freyners


    basically got into a debate with a friend that was going on here, trolled the **** out of it but ive been good since...i swears;)

    Heard a friend saying something about it when talking about where he got the questions for the LC mocks last year... And I've become addicted ever since. :)
    Having an app on my phone does not help...!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Goolged for something or other and wound up with a link for boards.ie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 794 ✭✭✭Redlion


    Seems boards should be sending Google a bottle of Jemmy for Christmas!

    Boards has an app?! What is it?

    I think I joined because I was looking up something or other and it gave me a like for Boards so I joined and became addicted ever since:D
