If Boards.ie closed tomorrow, where would you go?

bebo

I don't use boards much but the arcade and retro is the area I have the most. Is it open to another member?

Surely boards.ie is of cultural and societal benefit and should be getting funding from the arts council or maybe a cut of fines from social media.

A/S/L?

I'd happily survive without it. Tbh it's hardly adding anything to life the last while.

Where woukd i go - nowhere. I just pootle around the odd news sites until I get bored and put the phone away. I tried Reddit.

Failed To find anything worth keeping my interest. Very samey posts over and over. Felt what was left of my brain cells were dying slowly.

I'm one of the old school who love newspaper. And will stick with them to the bitter end😀

Sell it to Elon for 1 dollar.

Only use this place ever had was that it was easier to talk about local Irish issues and topics but lets face it that has basically died since the changes to the site. The Irish side of Reddit is just as bad as this place at its worst I wouldn't even waste my time posting in it as its so one sided you will be downvoted to oblivion if you don't agree with the majority. There's also a huge amount of younger more progressive off with the fairy's type on there so **** that!

Might need to get one or two more bans in for old times sake before the place shuts its doors. Knowing this place ill have the job done before lunch! 😂

Scouting Ireland had a very useful forum on it's previous members area website but this was lost to progress. There is a Scouting forum here but it has never caught on unfortunately.

I'm regular on a few chats here but I don't think there is anything to replace it.

Yeah, boat restoration, found a safe were top reads. Ship porn was great but quiet now. Always check out the funnies.

It's not the place here for suggestions, but could we clean out some the stickyed post. Sometimes you have to scroll through a screen of them to get to first recent post.

AAM is the only similar site I have in favorites so I would probably get some more work done.

To bed earlier.

Reddit is fun to waste time on but it's terrible for discussions as unpopular opinions are downvoted to hell. There's no back and forth visible. Even large subreddits like world news can be easily brigaded. The moderation is pretty inconsistent there too.
