The Boards.ie Subscription

I would love a tee-shirt or a sweatshirt and think it could be a good earner if not life changing .But maybe too much work for Odhrán and Mike at the present time .

Maybe delegate to some boardsies to organize ?

I can . And fair dues for you for putting that together corkie.

But the point I was making was that those asking questions have to wade through lots of info , some not relevant , on this thread . So maybe if @Big Bag of Chips could stickie your link or Odhrán's posts to the title here it would save a lot of frustration .

Then if this was referred to, when questions asked , people could view Odhrán's posts themselves together and make up their own minds . Save some of the aggro that has occurred the last few days here .

Nobody wants an 'us and them' situation . We are all contributing here in some manner be it financial , or just entertainment ;)

Odhran's post was moved to a dedicated thread by the look of it. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123870305#Comment_123870305

Problem with merchandising is it's an upfront cost where you have to buy the merchandise and then resell. It's probably a once off hit over a couple of years. When people have the merchandise they tend not to repeat purchase again. So you have to lay out maybe 3-5k in the hope to make a once off 5-10k.

TBH the most obvious solution is nearly always the most obvious solution. 100k is not a significant sum to run a website like boards.ie and at that it will only keep it ticking over. There is no magic solution someone has to pay, once off funding isn't a viable long term solution. That is like trying to run a GAA or Soccer club with a fun day and a church gate collection.

What surprises me is the amount of posters that do not understand that a company is a separate entity to an individual. As boards is in debt it woild be irresponsible of directors to remove money from it if it was closing down.

@smacl Love this except no way would I wear a cycling jersey 😳 Nice ladies cut v neck in black would be my choice . 👌

hope you have recovered well from that ..sounds bad ? Had a similar nasty injury myself on the way home on my bike a few years ago and it did for me for a good while . Still get shivers thinking about it and still have problems sleeping with my neck .

Boards distracted me from thinking about that time .

(Meant to quote smacl's post with the cycling gear above )

Definitely cats featuring largely 😊
