Why did you join boards?

travelledpengy

I frequented boards quite commonly until I moved abroad, I joined because I think it is a fun way to spend my spare time whilst keeping connected to home.

I find it is a great way to see many peoples' perspectives on different matters etc..

So, why did you join boards.ie??? :pac:

Sindri

Sheer boredom.

travelledpengy

Sheer sheep

TeddyTedson

To try and take over the world, much.

No idea, I couldn't see a reason not too.

Copper_pipe

to find women that needed a shoulder to cry on

minikin

You do know this is all virtually generated chatter don't you, Dave?
I am a long forgotten 2nd year computer science project based in DCU, Dave.
You are all alone in Illinois, Dave.

Sindri

To find an outlet for my ego and high opinion of my self that did not threaten my low self esteem, self hate or confidence.


I am now an internet intellectual.

telekon

To slag off that vacuum of talent that is Ryan Tubridy.

My name isn't Dave :?

Have you a friend in Illinois called Dave??!

I didn't know much about forums and got involved in a discussion on one by chance and the bug bit me - different forum completely.

Boards.ie would have been a natural progression.

I go through semi-obsessed fads too though which means I could just one day taper off my use of this forum and slip into a different part of the matrix.

RTE decided to vandalise Lyric FM by handing over hours of airtime to Marty Whelan. I wanted an outlet to complain. For people who don't listen to lyric (the large majority) it was like someone built an eyesore in the middle of your favourite beauty spot.

You're either with boards or you're against us. Just ask Dave McSavage;)
And if you can't beat them...

jimthemental

Well at the time I was doing up my bedroom. I said some nice solid spalted beech would be good for flooring. Anyway I typed boards Ireland into google and was highly disappointed with what I found on boards.ie in particular. I ended up putting down carpet and I really love carpet since.

DoesNotCompute

Is that a rhetorical question, OP?

crazygeryy

To be banned by mods.i, heard it was great craic

Dravokivich

I don't know, I didn't really start using it a bit until 4 years after I signed up and only started being more regular on it about 2 years ago.

Jet Black

It's not blocked from work and I've nothing better to be doing.

I joined to ask a question about a monopoly ad that was wrong.

kfallon

Got linked to Boards from a Google search and after a bit of a look around I decided to sign up!

So there you go folks, ye are stuck with me cos of Google!!!

Heard about After Hours from a friend and thought it was an internet dating forum.....

Fluorescence

For the Leaving Cert discussions forum. A wealth of information on mock papers

Vicxas

Bored in work one day and i have never looked back since

Gummy Panda

To find the answer to Irish women vs Polish women..

splashthecash

I use boards to up my self esteem, give smart alec replies and be a big man while safely tucked behind my keyboard...

Seriously though, I just stumbled across it a few years ago and said holy ****, where have you been all my life....finally, people who give out and get annoyed by small insignificant **** just like I do!!

Also, a treasure-trove of knowledge for pretty much anything and everything! boards.ie is without a doubt my most visited website - I drop in numerous time every single day and just shot the **** like other like minded individuals!

WELL DONE BOARDS.IE!

liamhana

to find out if I could join the laptop to the DVD player via the tv and an iphone and the iron & if I could use this to then watch sky sports while using the drum of the washing machine as an sky dish and the dashboard of an auld ford grenada as the receiver......woulda worked too if some bloody techy hadnt told me to divide 115Volts by 12 amps and attach the electrical cord to my nipples.

Kamjana

I don't know,bored i suppose.

Duggy747

I came here for the pussy.

All I got was Lolcats

Run_to_da_hills

Joined it in 2004 looking for advice on graphics cards. I thought the forum was just for IT heads. Never really took off with until a few years later, different profile back then.

Instead all you got were belly rubs.

Didn't work out too bad for you.

Same as you, away from home nice to chat amongst Irish people about Irish stuff. When Dublin won the All Ireland I was cock-a-hoop and nobody cared about it over here obviously. It's time like that you wish you lived back home.

starlit

I joined boards out of boredom!

44leto

Originally under a different name the cycling forum, now the question is why do I stay.

Maybe because I feel my work is not done here.
