    hahah! :D It would have been plausible, but for the fact that I posted anti-FF stuff and wasn't banned (yet....). So, I'd say from my research that it is owned by a bunch of Quake players, such as Regi and Devore... Either that, or the Freemasons. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,352 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Yore Ma owns it tbh.

    Great addition to the discussion! But whose mother are you referring to? Not mine, since she doesn't own a PC or know how to use one....

    According to those arbiters of taste and tollerance on Stormfront Ireland, it's owned by a collective of pinko commie gay liberals who are anti-church, Irish and family in that order.

    Now, wheres me handbag and copy of the Communist Manifesto with a foreword by Germaine Greer and Nelson Mandela.... I'm of to the George to plot the destruction of morals in the land...

    As for the vexed question of who owns Boards, we all do, we're just one big happy family masquerading as an evil internet corporation. Group hug anyone?

    For a small fee, the gnomes at the CRO will give you a copy of the B10s for Boards Ltd. That answers some of the questions, maybe :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    If Regi says its owned by gnomes and crows it must be true.

    Omg! i didn't think that stormfront ACTUALLY existed! Went over to it. Talk about a haven for the, the, eh... "philosophically and intellectually rigid" I honestly didn't think that people like that existed outside of the american south.
