    It would be interesting if everyone included their exact date of birth, mother's maiden name and PPS number too.

    I’ve always assumed the majority of posters on this site are overweight men with a beard who work in IT. Mostly between the ages of 35 and 45. They also presume that having reached some level of competence in operating a computer makes then extremely intelligent and an authority on everything else.

    I’m guessing that’s what you say on most internet sites.

    Whatever the age of the user base, it's gone too old now anyway. Everyone has babies to look after and mortgages to pay. 10 years ago boards was a massive carefree shagfest

    What I find interesting is that AH is not so much used anymore

    Not sure if demographic plays a part in it.

    I’m guessing CA has taken a lot of this volume but I also see more of the other forums being used.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,457 ✭✭✭✭Kylta


    I'm 68 eight in monkey years, 100,000,04 in fly years, so I think im due to be born next weekend around 3.69 on a Wednesday.

    Maybe it still is a shagfest but you've gotten too wrinkly to get an invite :p

    Did you get the secret invite to the shagfest? If so what name did they give you? They gave me the name shergar, so I think they want me to disappear!

    God, what a disgusting image. “Rocker” t-shirts left on, chinny beards platted and big bellies resting up on backsides. Gross!

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭smellyoldboot


    Poll indicates majority between 30-50. Most likely white, Irish and male for the most part. The kind of demographic who thinks everyone wants to hear what they have to say. Makes perfect sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭begbysback


    91 - 100+ ??

    you mean 91+, or 91-99, and 100+, or 91-100 and 101+

    inclusive or exclusive?

    That little inconsistency doesn't seem to have damaged the category's popularity:pac:

    Yeah but what age are you?

    Given how prevalent old-fashioned views are around here, not surprising it seems to be an older crowd on this site.

    Sounds like serial killer profiles

    An IQ poll would be more worthwhile.

    >150: 89%

    I may have a beard and my abs are invisible but my IT skills are moderate at best, your assumptions are offensive, sir

    I’ve always assumed the majority of posters were one fella posting about bowel movements under a range of different names with little “character traits”. They are “written off” when he goes “creatively bankrupt”. Some of them stick around well past their “use-by date”, however, dude.

    I read somewhere that this forum peaked about fifteen years ago and you can tell that so did most of the user base. Boards.ie really is such a right wing echo chamber.

    There’s a lot of middle aged people on this forum who seem to have been progressive socially back around 2005. For them things like gay marriage, abortions etc were “alright” but that was as far as things should go. The pre-recession status quo is how things should be.

    Now they’re getting angry that the world has moved on without them, and that they’re now the older generation whose embedded biases are being challenged. Especially towards more recent social issues such as trans rights etc. “Lefty snowflakes,” “pc gone mad” “virtue signalling” etc. Stale, pale, and male.

    You are good are profiling people.
    Are you in the CIA ?
    Or just joined recently to see how much of a 'right wing echo chamber' it is on here ? :rolleyes:

    Ah sh*t. Mid 30s, white heterosexual male, overweight, beard, widows peak glowing on with the hair. Don't work in IT, not sure that's enough to rescue it though :)
