    Yea id imagine that they'd make a fair whack of money, but not having any experience in the online advertising area was just puttin it out there

    I bet they are loaded. Sure they only pay mods around €23k a year.

    How full time employees do they have?

    Also, in before some hilarious person says something along the lines of ''not after paying for all the cocaine and hookers''

    Stick to the acting game, way more money there.

    I'm not a mathematician but I'm pretty sure that below 0 is where the letters begin. At the moment boards earns D every year.

    You're all wrong, boards.ie is just a figment of our collective imaginations. It doesn't really exist ;)

    From what I have read it appears to be true. Considers itself a king of new media and with daft.ie and the journal.ie has the will to become the Rupert Murdoch of Ireland. All with good intentions though.

    Then again they all start out that way.

    Daft Media (who owns the majority of boards.ie or perhaps all of it?) made a €2.45million profit in 2009.

    Boards itself, however, made a €90,000+ loss last year.

    Rolling in it. The pension when you've served more than 1 year as a mod is not to be sniffed at either......literally, the crack whore's tend to go off after a while!

    Micky left out the 100k in bonuses he gets each year... I'm seeing a solution here!
