Has Boards.ie had any positives/negatives for you?

The minor one's would be I probably got some bargains from seeing them in Bargain Alerts and it gave me something to do also when I had nothing to do.
Another is it made me a relax about things. I might have got a little worked up over things a few years ago and mainly from seeing others get outraged over minor things it made me snap out of it.
Negatives would be I probably wasted to much time on here at times.

Positives - the wherers thread, the humour in after hours, the knowledge in a lot of forums I read for information but wouldn't have anything useful to contribute to.

Negative - a little bit of leeway would be nice in some threads. Real life is not a sanitised, PC haven and some people enjoy darker humour and humorous insults.

Met some decent folks thanks to Boards.
Got some sound advice about cars.
A while back when I couldn’t take Facebook anymore I just came back to Boards, and it felt nice and cosy.

On the other hand, there are just so many topics on Boards I do not give a monkey’s about, I wish I could just not see them at all. But it’s good that people are talking.

Haha the negative one I have would absolutely blow your mind but I could be risking the same thing happening again if I detailed it. Have to say, the moderators really did me a favour. Sound skins.

Maybe that's making my point. they are not there to do favors their job is to be fair.
Sound skins, you must know them personally as i would only say that of people i know, saying that i expect they good people.

I am not being negative at all, if someone creates a post i will give my honest view, i expect this this is what is to happen here.
If we all "yes men" it be closed in a week...

Boards is a great source of information and has helped me out of a pickle a few times especially the Car DIY / Boating forum. AH is a bit of craic too and have had a few good laughs from it. Went to a good few boards beers in the pre-creep days.

The bad is there's a good bit of fearmongering that goes on in certain forums mostly by armchair know-it-alls who can't stand to see someone else getting a job done and there's other sh1tehawks around too but once you learn to identify and ignore those you're away for slates really. Cant say I have any life long friends I met through boards but did chat to some nice people on here from time to time

Boards taught me how to use apostrophe's properly

Bargain Alerts has cost me a fortune, but I have so much more cool stuff now along with even more tat that I never needed or ever will

At the lowest point in my life, boards , the P.I forum and in particular the then brand new bereavement sub forum helped me keep a hold on my sanity.
Had a lot of support from there.

Other forums such as watches and timepieces, crypto and others have all sparked and renewed interests across many fields.

Watches and timepieces is no place for the faint hearted tho, that's a corner of boards that'll lead to bankruptcy :pac:

Couldn't agree more.

When things were fairly grim on a personal level a while back it was almost a social lifeline. Took my mind off things and helped keep me sane, even got the brain matter working again and lots of healthy debate helped, maybe got a bit too into some debates but there ya go

We can knock it all we want but it's very Irish centric in a way reddit can never really be.

Have made a few decent friends on here and am an expert on the weather thanks to MT Cranium's posts.
