Who Owns Boards.ie ?
or is it an Artificial Entity

DeVore

I'm actually working on a page of the history of boards.ie because we have so many new users who dont know us or where we come from and may not have the "disfunctional family" feeling about the place.

In answer to your question:
DeVore, Regi, Vexorg, Tr1n1ty and Cloud own the domain boards.ie (its held by Boards Ltd and is the companies only asset, its a libel avoiding method).

In reality lets look at what we really *own*.
We own a domain, a server, and some software.

There are 4500 relatively likeminded people here, which is really what most people mean when they say boards.ie, but we dont own them.

In reality we own very little I guess, if the goodwill we think we have went away and we did something really terrible, it probably wouldnt take much to replicate boards.ie. So we have to play to the audience so to speak.

Isnt the internet great, you get to vote with your mouse

Now, metaphysics aside and leaving out that we are all the one same cosmos, exactly what do you mean when when you say "owns boards.ie"?

Also, why do you ask (out of curiousity).


DeVore.

i was just curious thanks for the help

Trojan

A lot of the "Registered: " users are originally quake players ... hence the size of the quake board when it's a wee bit quiet lately

We used to live on www.quake.ie/wwwboard/ , weber.ucg.ie amongst other places.

Tom, how many of those 4500 accounts are bubbles and how many are active? Just curious!

and thats a fact, not a slogan.


or just a way of hiding the fact that i hit the submit now button twice.
actually, what is that about?
submit now?
is this some sort of subliminal dimination complexity going on here, or someone who just didnt get it?

You really should you know.

the only thing i know about boards.ie is that some guy called phil from dublin told me to join wheni met him in the quad (cork pub). there were others there too and they told me to sign up... i felt scared so i joined. can i go now.

unrelated...

whitewashman. why did you post count not change. is it a side affect of SHS (shakey hand syndrom)? if thats the case you might want to have that checked out. if it gets any worse then you might get a reduced post count and be a 'newbie'.

Evil Phil

"i felt scared so i joined"

These feelings are normal. They're caused by me being Evil.

Good w'kend though.

out of context biatch

Cloud used to own it all, but Evil Devore tried to set up his own Spinsol boards but they sucked.

So instead Evil Devore fought Cloud in mortal combat and won (Cloud couldn't pull off the "Fiery Phoenix" move) and they both had a kid called Q and Evil Devore became Good Devore (who would never ban people who made fun of him or said his old board sucked) and they all lived happly ever after.

The End.

Is this something to do with why Dev shaved the evil demonic beard off?

Also this all sounds very similar to the book of Genesis.

I a scareed!

Yea that's how you tell the difference between evil Devore and good Devore. You never watch Star trek?!

DeVore

EeeRrrkkk! Wrong. Thanks for playing.

I never set up in opposition to Cloud.
The boards used to be on quake.ie
They moved (for fear of Eircom) to Cloud's college box.
The college firewalled cloud for a while so I threw up the Spin ones to give us somewhere to talk.

Later boards.ie was formally created and launched and we all moved there.
