WHY did you join boards?

Do you remember? Personally, haven't a clue. I even forgot I had an account until the hacking incident when I got an email informing me of it, which was when I found out I'd even set up a boards account. Then, I just sort of fell into using boards. Sometimes I use it loads, sometimes just read, but I've been on here pretty much daily since.

Anyone have a really interesting reason they joined up?

Think I googled something, led me to After Hours. I had a look round, liked what I saw and decided to join!

whatismyname

Because I'd closed my other account and needed a new one.

mighty magpie

Used to do a lot of reading on IrishPokerBoards when I played during university which lead me to old threads on here!

jimgoose

I like talking sh1te on t'Internet. I've been doing it for 25 years. This seems to be the way the current young Hep-Cats do it.

Originally in my very first account AHEM....I heard about it from a friend who was a mod at the time. She told me about it. She just said you need to get on boards.ie. I knew a couple of people on it already. And them I started a cult (Boardsie cutters)in the cuckoos lounge for a bit. That was a long long time ago and I have been mental every since

retro:electro

Needed to know something about a job I had at the time and I'm still here two years later talking shyte.

Wish I'd thought of a better username tho, wasn't planning on hanging around

PandaPoo

I saw a thread on another site saying that after hours was a dive. So I joined here and left that site.

About 5 accounts later, here I am

Yeah I've had a few at this stage.

Wang King

No one else would have me

Charlie19

I always liked doing woodwork.

Misty Chaos

Had a problem with a laptop at the time and wanted to ask somewhere about it, I registered this very account to do so after finding the forum through google.

Lay dormant after that until about 2009 when I became a regular on the site. The username? That only came to my head when I set up the account as I felt my other username I'd used elsewhere for years was tainted and I needed a fresh one.

Aaaah fvcksake!

I actually don't think this username is the same one I joined up with originally, but I can't even remember. I doubt it, since I know I joined up before the big hack, and this username is a relatively knew incarnation of myself across the interwebs. I'd say I had a different one before.

I actually think I have another account somewhere on boards with no idea what the username or email address are.

Nest. The Cuckoos NEST

I fell into Boards via Adverts. Then the hack happened and I didnt come back for a while. Then I went away again. Then I came back again.

That's it now. Never leaving again....evvverrrrr!

Was googling something about dwarfism in cattle and found a thread on it so made an account to ask more people if they had seen it. Boring reason!

Winner of thread.

Mint Aero

I remember being very shy about making new threads in AH. As though there was so much expectation, really putting my work and thoughts in front of a large audience for dissection was daunting.

However, I've grown to be one of the most influential posters on AH and voted best poster 2 years in a row.

Follow your dreams, someday you could be just like me.

Tombi!

I joined twice.
Once to ask a question which I did get an answer to.
Stuck around on that account around 8-9 years ago for a few months.
Left. Rejoined on this account a few months after browsing After Hours mostly.

SpaceTime

I think it was some techie question I needed to answer and then I just joined up.

Boring I know ...:)

I like how that was very polite as opposed to "HELP NEEDED CALF PROBLEM ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO THX ??????????"

deco nate

Heard about Airsoft, joined to ask about the sport.
Tis was great fun met a fewgreat people from it.
Spent a small fortune on bits and bobs.

It was a great way to get fit with out realising it. Meet ups to go up and take the nordys on:) good times.!
Loved the fireworks grenades!
Then the boom ended
Lost my job, haven't been out to play since, still have all my gear. I don't want to part with it.

Just wanted to be another raindrop in the shower of bastards that boards users are.

TBH every Boardsie has two dreams when signing up: to be a mod or to be the master of the world.
Personally, I'm glad I got the better deal.

But I only ever signed up to ask a question regarding eircom and getting a console connected to the internet. I don't even remember my name then.

toastedpickles

My ex was on here and she introduced me to it, i only joined to look at funny pictures in ylyl

It's gotten way out of control now

Signed up to join in on a topic about a DCU summer camp. Ten years later (almost) and still here.

It's amazing how much time I've been able to kill here since, mind you wouldnt have it any other way.

If you do you're some psychic.
I think I registered the first name some time around 2007 and made a grand total of 3 posts. All in one thread.

So if you can tell me who I am I'd be impressed.

Or maybe your 3 posts left a huge impression on me?
