    It's difficult to abuse my power when I'm so confused by the OP.

    At the risk of a yellow card I will not correct spellings but perhaps the OP was suggesting that Boards is a Corporation Band. I remember a Pipe Band down South that were part of a County Council once fado fado.

    Probably sh1t at debating, has butt-hurt due to getting annihilated in arguments, so trots out the auld "Boards is employing people to write argumentative responses derp" line.

    So what if Boards is a corporation btw? It'd be stupid NOT to make money out of this place. As if anyone wouldn't.

    The "banned" thing is the OP pre-empting being banned for daring to reveal "the truth".

    The 'B' in 'BLT' now stands for 'Boards'.

    Are they bringing back SPAM then?

    Seriously though, I like Boards, but if they think they can replace bacon, they can **** right off.

    Can I get one of those spinny chairs and be made boss?

    That way I can do the James Bond villain reveal whenever anyone starts these conspiracy theory threads about boards and its posters or mods.

    Facebook is crippled by this crap, when they send out those updates, and you agree to the terms & conditions at the bottom, it's done, you accept whatever new privacy or data-archival system they have in place.

    Posting this nonsense just makes you look dim. It's usually the people who post the "Like if you hate (insert illness or depravity here)" pictures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,218 ✭✭✭✭Bannasidhe


    Are they going to fix the roads?

    That would be great!

    I have a pot hole outside my house that is so big that asylum seekers were using it to practice synchronised swimming routines but then it got closed due to county council cutbacks as dole scroungers haven't paid their Household Charges but the Co.Co. couldn't afford to fill the hole in either because they blew the budget for the next million years on rock salt for the roads and black pepper for the free sammichs our over paid civil servants get an allowance of 17.50 a second for if they eat them at their desks so they just put plastic comes and that red and white tape around the hole instead and it's really windy so the tape is flapping like mad and it's doing my head in...:mad:

    How much do you get paid for starting threads? I'm getting a pittance for arguing on threads and am thinking of a change in career.

    Eh, bud
    I've a feeling you're not in Kansas anymore.

    According to the Berne convention copyright exists automatically and for 70 years after the authors death. You don't need to pepper your posts with a copy of dodgy foreign legalese (do you even have permission to use that quote ??) for your rights to exist.

    Also Ireland doesn't have the same provisions of fair use that the USA has. Thus by asking for US law to apply you may have diluted your rights. :rolleyes:

    Nah, I'm one of the boards fanboys who argues in their favour for most things. Not paid, I just think the people running it know better than most people here and do deserve to make some money out of this great website which I use for free.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16


    If you need a licence to have a dog then you should have to have a licence for starting threads on boards.

    I mean, what the fcuk is this??

    I'm going to step aside here and point out here just the same as I did on every other website I've seen this silly styles of "disclaimers":

    They hold absolutely no legal water.


    You signed up to Boards.ie and agreed to the terms and conditions. Deal with it.

    Seriously. "The contents of this profile [and all of the posts made quite publicly on a public website] are private and confidential information"

    Give us all a break.

    So I can decorate my posts with ads now and make Internet money?

    I think my avatar will be a picture of an apple with an imbedded referral link to apple stores. My sig will obviously be nothing but google ads. And I think I'll end each post with a corporate slogan.

    I'm lovin it.

    The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires, are forcing our parents to go to bed early, in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. We're through the looking glass here, people.
