    Anybody able to give me a run down on the major events in the websites life? Like d.o.b., major updates/problems, etc. Nobody ever seems to talk about it...Something to hide maybe?:confused:

    Started off with a few nerds talking about a computer game. Now its a load of nerds talking about everything. Thats about it really.

    Oh, and there was that great crash of 2010.

    NEVER and I mean NEVER mention The Problem.

    Most of us are still scarred from the events of The Problem. Many of us have never been the same since :(

    Sit down Son.

    A mammy board met a daddy board and they loved each other very much. They had a special kiss and a few months later boards.ie was created.

    It used to be a real board on a wall that people left messages on.

    a couple of years ago a homeless jazz musician and the queen of norway had a bit of a one night stand. their offspring fullfilled the prophecy that was foretold "yeay, and there shall be a man and he will create boards.ie". and well here we are.

    I don't know what the problem is, but now I'm too afraid to ask...:(
    Did I hear correctly that there was some big site overhaul around 2002 maybe?

    This Facekicker chap everyone keeps going on about.

    I think it had something to do with the fact that he said face-kicking related things.

    I could be wrong.

    Remember before daft.ie bought it and before Digiweb were helping out with the hosting and the site's servers were run by the mods or whatever with no money coming in. Site moved at a crawl, very annoying.

    Sorry about mentioning that, I never knew, does anybody know how many members boards actually has? Also can you find out the results of that census yet?
