How did you find boards?

Thorbar

I'm just curious how people found their way to our little home we call boards?

Personally I was introduced to boards by Vertakill after I met him playing on one of the Irish cs servers way back in the summer of 2000.

Rabies

By email, someone in the college sent an email to loads of students telling us about the site

Dont Ban Me

Rabies told me bout it!

When the company I work for had an internet cafe, a regular poster worked in the cafe - Spiral. He did many many annoying childish things to me at work as I did to him and I found a webpage open with boards as he went to the toilet.

I posted on boards to annoy the hell out of him.

*ahem*

Though the IrelandOffline site

I was a USENET regular on alt.stupidity and thought webforums were lame and crap compared to USENET, I was living with Wwman and started reading it after he showed me it.

Now of course, while I occasionally still visit alt.stupidity I think webboards are far superior to USENET.

I used to post on Usenet on ie.comp and ie.general and chat on #Ireland on Undernet. The latter kinda led me to be sharing a house with Lucutus in the city, but when financial problems meant I couldn't afford it any more, I needed to move out. Luc pointed me towards Boards.ie to advertise the room and I've been coming back for over 3 years since.

Daveg has been whining at me for a couple of years to look it up.
Soon as I had to sit and look at a screen for 10 hours I said I'd best check it out..........

A little over a year ago my friend and I wanted to get word out about the Whipping Boy website we had set up. So I put a post on cluas.com and he put one up on the Phantom website.

After a few weeks of reading the Phantom threads I began to notice all these other un-pirate-radio-station related links about the place.

After a year or so of online quaking, I tried 'www.quake.ie' in the browser and sure enough it existed. From there I found the webboard, lurked for a few months then registered and posted.
