Shrimp · 17-01-2005 4:34pm

Many a row I've been in.. but it's ok, we all love eachother.. :cool:

Aquos76 · 17-01-2005 4:35pm

Number 34, who here would place it at Number 1?

I know I would

radiospan · 17-01-2005 4:35pm

Ah there's more to it than just rowing surely??

That's not strictly true, we all love eachother but nobody loves you.

Class reply Koneko.

kinkstr · 17-01-2005 4:40pm

what site was number 1

seamus · 17-01-2005 5:01pm

Number 34 though. For site with zero advertising, zero investors (apart from the admins obviously), and zero commercial interests, that's some achievement. This country may be small, but boards is a long way from reaching critical mass. That's got to be some sickener for all those huge sites.

I'm also guessing it was a list done up by someone in the star, not a poll of joe on the street.

KdjaCL · 17-01-2005 5:05pm

And number 1 was?

/shame rep is off koneko deserves some.

simu · 17-01-2005 5:40pm

I wonder if this will lead to an influx of muppets?

Creamy Goodness · 17-01-2005 5:49pm

the websites weren't really ordered from best to worst kind of way
it was just 50 websites you can't live without.

AA road watch was number 1 if you're interested

other notible mentions were

www.xe.com
www.google.ie
www.amazon.ie
www.entertainment.ie
www.yahoo.ie

Zaph · 17-01-2005 6:19pm

Why can't we live without yahoo.ie? I've managed pretty OK without it so far.

Nukem · 17-01-2005 6:38pm

Thats rockin news - 34 - think of all the sites that could be in the top 50.
Some achivement,hats off to all and the Admins may we rise to the top and stay their.

Now can i get a boat 2 plz...........

Shrimp · 17-01-2005 6:44pm

The key to getting a boat, is not to ask, and to not expect. You will get a boat only if you have got to the stage(Boatvana) of worthiness.. whatch your pm's ..you could be next :cool:
