Boardsie Advice/Information

Fat Christy

A long time before I even joined boards, I used to visit the website for information on different things. I remember looking at the LC thread for predictions back in the day. :pac: When I talk to people I meet, a lot of them will say 'no I'm not on boards but I have visited the website looking for information on what penguin to buy/how to deal with said penguins behavioural problems and how to survive the apocalypse, etc'

I thought it was quite interesting. I, myself, have got some pretty sound information/advice off you knowledgeable folk.

So AHers, what has boards taught you that you didn't know before? Do you use the site to figure out what to buy/how to fix things/advice on penguins etc etc?

First rule of boards is don't talk about boards.

Links234 has provided a witty perspective on transgender issues that I haven't seen anywhere else.

I had no idea what an Atari Jaguar was, before. Or the correct phrase for giving someone in need a refreshing vigorous shot of wee.

Boards taught me that people are a lot more ignorant on the internet than in real life.

And that "the taxpayer" is a self-entitled c*nt.

Only thing of use that I learned was a guitar chord that I could have found anyway if I could be bothered learning some theory.

Awkward Badger

It used to crop up a lot when searching for stuff for me too before I joined up. A lot of stuff on here is pretty useful years after its been posted.

Have you got evidence for that, or are you just a troll?

I notice you haven't answered my question.

Nope, no troll, just my opinion.

Oooooooohhhh, someone is a party pooper today.

I like it here. I know this one poster who closed his account twice and came back a third time, so it can't be that bad. I won't name any names.

That Macbizzle fella was an awful aul prick though.

EDIT: Was Donkey Oatey making a joke? It's hard to know on here :rolleyes:

I first came across it when someone told there was good tips for the mocks:rolleyes. I didn't join until a couple of years later. I'd never heard of it prior to this. Even today a lot of people don't have a clue what I'm talking about when I mention boards.

I think it's a good source for info on a wide range of topics in the different forums, most people seem genuine and eager to help when you pose a question.

Boards has taught me that their are some right stuck up, holier than though, ultra righteous dick heads out there.

Some people really are heartless bastards.

Do you have any evidence for that or are you just trolling over whether that would be an ecumenical matter?

Meanwhile in Gaza, they have opinions over MH17 too.

ive learnt that if you criticize a decision by sinn fein, you're a traitor to the country.

i also learned that if you applaude a decision by sinn fein, you're a shinner bot.

The "advertising campaign"didn't help much,it was only noticeable what the ad was for if you were actually aware of it anyway,even then it was obscure.

Donkey Oaty

I propose a truce.

I'm serious about post #5 - and Farming & Forestry is a good insight also.

funny how we're not getting called islamo-bots for supporting palestine.

does the 'bot' suffix only apply to minority thinkers? :eek:

I did once take my life in my hands and ask a question on the hunting forum.

All it was, one of the lads around here comes back now and again and blasts the bjesus out of the crows and mags. I wanted to buy him a box of cartridges. Just before I made a total dick of myself in the gunshop (see old feckers get self concious in unfamiliar environments too) I thought I'd ask what to get blah blah

Actually the lads there were very nice and it turns out you can't

FYP.

I feel like a hypocrite, I like the majority boardsies, there's only a few shnakes in the grass from time to time. Not saying I agree with all the ones I like but my opinion is far superior to theirs and that's all that matters. :pac:

The Atheism forum teaches people about how to conduct a rational argument.

I've learned a lot just reading the forum.

Useful skills to have anywhere.

I've heard the outdoor pursuits forum is fairly rough though.

Don't even open it. They'll use your innards as a guy line.

Awwww congratulations.

Nevermind some of them the moany holes on here, I've got a lot of good advice and talked to some pretty cool people.

_Whimsical_

You people have fixed my computer,my phone,my car window,helped me recover 300 quid from pixmania and over 1000 from tesco, found me a smart DVD player I could afford,probably saved me hundreds with discount codes and bargains...the list goes on...and on.
I still wouldn't trust ye with my "personal issues" but I'd be lost without boards.:)

Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) said money is the b¡tch that never sleeps. For me, boards is a sort of virtual sister of this creature.
