    Would you just not reply instead of being smart? If you don’t want to be involved or be interested that’s your choice.......

    Why don't you just get a Boards.ie account and do that?

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    I'm guessing most people are in enough such groups, I know I certainly am. Best of luck with it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,020 ✭✭✭xabi


    No thanks, I'm in enough stupid what app groups


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭mr_edge_to_you


    But who would be the moderator?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Fcuk no. I cringe each and every single time I'm added to some random WhatsApp group, and for some reason always feel obliged to stay in them for a few days after being added so as "not to offend" anyone.

    Leaving them on a weekend night or early on a Sunday morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,282 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    I wouldn't even join the family WhatsApp group

    if only there was a website where "can chat about everything, have a laugh,share funny videos , pictures etc ! Be class to have a big old group to discuss anything and everything "


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Eduard Khil


    I for one welcome the chance opportunity to exhibit my Buffalo Bill one man show sign me up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,297 ✭✭✭Gooey Looey


    2 years ago I deleted most of my social media including WhatsApp. WhatsApp especially annoyed me, being added to groups without asking is very annoying and the group gets notified when you leave. I moved to Telegram for some peace, you can turn off the ability to be added to groups.

    If you're offended by that, you are going to like your free for all Whatsapp group.

    You can do that too on Whatsapp.

    Maybe now, certainly not at the time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭global23214124


    I feel that might be a bit mental with 100s of users from boards if the issue is topical like some current affairs issue/elections/corona


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 MuchZeus


    sounds like a terrible idea. nothing could possibly go wrong. count me in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Hell no












    Will there be nudes?

    Great idea, and if it is a success, we could develop it further, maybe into an online forum of some description....

    Best of luck with it. I'm wats apped up to the ying yang moment so count me out. But I hope you get a group up and running for yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭Church on Tuesday


    The worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas.

    Sorry OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,808 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I'm only in two WhatsApp groups, with three other people in each, and that's enough for me. I like to avoid people, not engage with them.

    Start a discord server.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,217 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    So the WhatsApp group could talk about boards.... could we then have a viber group to talk about the boards WhatsApp group ?

    It doesn’t make sense op. Boards is the discussion platform / site, who needs another discussion app / platform to talk about another one ?

    WhatsApp is not social media, its simply a way to contact people that's far superior than texting people. The secret is don't join groups that are full of idiots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,996 ✭✭✭✭gozunda


    I dont even know what WhatsApp is ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,301 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Yeah, my number is 088 8080082


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭drake70


    Yeah sure, but only if it's moderated :D

    WhatsApp is a social media tool, it allows you connect with people to share text, images and videos. WhatsApp collects a lot of data about you, such as your phone number, information about your location, your user habits, and your contacts.

    2 years ago anyone of your WhatsApp contacts could add you to a group without asking permission and there was nothing you could do to stop it only leave the group after your were added which gave the group a notification that you left the group.

    Divide that number of boards members by 256 and that’s how many groups we will need. We will also need admins and mods to. Interviews at 9am sharp lads. Meet here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭drake70


    Can you make a WhatsApp group comprising of multiple WhatsApp groups?

    Such a whatsapp group would be a bad idea, but I wonder, is the OP isolated and reaching out for some human contacts due to the lockdown?

    I know its AH, but it wouldn't hurt to be a little kinder. You never know.

    Yup, I find I'm getting more and more dependent on it, slowly getting isolated despite my best attempts. You're very probably right in this instance. Horrible feeling.

    To tell the truth I thought that when I read his post. Not a good time for some people who are isolating. But if he feels that way he could post the bollox out of boards, there enough forums to go crazy on, and enough poster to annoy too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,976 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    WhatsApp is a social media tool, it allows you connect with people to share text, images and videos.

    Its very different to facebook & twitter. Its the best way to message a group of friends with the added benefit of adding pictures, videos or links. With social media you have the social pressure of adding people you dont really care about and having to log in. Also social media makes you feel like you need a proper profile


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    I'm in!

    Leo Varadkar has sent me something and I'm dying to share with a select group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    Yeah, my number is 088 8080082

    Sounds like my number from leaner times: Eight nothing Eight Nothing Nothing Two Eight.
