    -The expert knowledge and willingness to share it in some forums; accommodation & property; Weather; Apple & other tech fora; tv forums & Bargain Alerts
    -The camaraderie in some threads/forums; TV, Boohoo, Woohoo, where are you now etc

    It was a good reference when I was setting up a Sky box in my previous apartment.

    Bargain Alerts and the Travel/Holiday forums for me.

    I like most forums on here for a browse once in a while, I don't really post on politics and try my best to avoid similar threads on AH, so I find it still to be a friendly, welcoming place with lots of people willing to help out if needed or have a chat.

    Rugby League is a hidden gem :pac:

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Information, advice, and a helping hand certainly. I don't get a sense of camaraderie, but then again I neither seek it nor want it from a discussion forum. I enjoy the excellent discussions on many forums and the sharing of views. I also enjoy helping people new to my field of interest and discussing developments in that field with experienced people. And of course I get a good laugh on a regular basis.

    Boards is great company and a total distraction for me. It has and still is getting me through some sh1tty times. I love reading other people's views on things and has made me see some things in a whole new light, have also picked up some very useful tips/ info along the way. Young people of Boards, I love you all ! ( and the older ones)


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,194 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I like the excellent moderators!

    I have done a good bit of business on boards.ie through a certain thread.

    I have also managed to save quite a few quid on the motors DIY section, and the domestic appliances thread.

    I have also had manys a good laugh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,058 ✭✭✭whoopsadoodles


    A good chunk of my most favourite people on the planet came from boards. <3

    Love the way you can while away the hours, wasting time as people think I'm busy.
    Anyway, this will stop for me tomorrow since I retire at precisely 2pm.
    Seriously :D

    The information and knowledge on here is unreal across all aspects of life. Signed up mainly for that reason but came to see it's a mad house of fun too. Spend my whole life on here lurking about..in the shadows.

    It’s good for getting information on topics.

    I’ve also got to know a group of genuine, sound, and funny posters based around a common interest. Unfortunately it upset a few other posters.

    What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

    People in Dubai don't like the Flintstones but people in Abu Dhabi do

    Nobody would deny it has its faults but I kinda actually like the fact it has the old skool linear non-up/down vote structure even if some of the multi-quote arguments can get a bit interminable. And I think more people than we think like that structure as well. Sites don't have to be to be the current Big Thing to have a niche on the net.

    There's some very helpful and knowledgeable people here, especially in the specialist forums.

    I'm not as involved as I used to be but there is some extremely funny, decent and interesting people knocking around the site even if unfortunately some of them don't post as much anymore.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,357 ✭✭✭corner of hells


    I don't like anything bout boards , it's part of my probation to be here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,460 ✭✭✭Barry Badrinath


    The people, I've met some absolute legends from this place. Real genuine people that have made my life better at times.

    Other than that, watching people flip the lid over sh1t that just.doesnt.matter. It's funny as hell.

    I'm guilty of that myself though.

    It is all about the Mustard forum, and nothing else.

    That is all.

    Werewolf Forum


    Best forum on boards. Main reason i kept my account.


    PC gaming and Gaming are also quite good.

    The general computer tech forums are very helpful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,834 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    There's a genuine wealth of knowledge and information across the board (pun intended) that's not reflected anywhere else.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    Ranting & Raving is a delight to read. Whinge Whinge Whinge. So cathartic and liberating.

    There's something very parochial about boards, unlike any other 'Irish' site. I like that.
