The Boards.ie Subscription

I'm not seeing where in the terms of use it says we can't discuss other websites - I can see it's clear about no promotion and that's absolutely fair, but mentioning the name of alternatives (such as, "oh well i think Facebook does X better than Boards, could be something to look at") isn't promoting them - and from this thread it would appear that I can absolutely say something about Facebook or Reddit, but if I mentioned the name of other specific sites, it'd be determined that the same sentence is promotional?

I know when v o a t . c o was a thing it was added to the swear filter because disgruntled users from here were slagging off boards over there. I presume it's the same reasoning with a couple of other sites

I assume as much too, I remember that site and I believe they were doxxing too or trying to? Awful place.

But you don't see Reddit being a banned word or not allowed to be mentioned despite numerous threads absolutely slating boards users. So it seems a little odd that two specific sites can't be mentioned even if it doesn't breach the current terms of use 🤷

Inspiring update, great stuff.

Now let's relax and listen to boards new theme song.

i hope you find someone able to do that! Would be fun to see again.

Back in the Day, it was a delightful surprise to see one of my threads featured in one of "Boards threads of the week" facebook posts and it was fun to look up the rest of the threads that Niamh and dear Mark (rip) mentioned. There was so much on Boards I didn't know was even here (ya miss a lot from simply perusing the front page on Boards). They delved into different forums and shared fun social media posts from all areas. Surely too time consuming for one employee, Mike handles so much as it is.

Does anyone else recall when Dav and Niamh did a question and answer video from their offices, to discuss plans for Boards' future, like (idk) 13 years ago? (I was a newby and chuffed to get my question included in the vid). Their hope-filled ideas of expanding Boards into more of a social media-like presence, now seems more like :( pie-in-the sky, looking back.

Ah the good old days from Vbulletin times.

Bring back @gordon, let him loose on the socials

You can't seriously expect Odhran or Mike to actually log into that landing page and change the countdown number manually???

I mean that's a job for an engineer, or a programmer, or a social media manager or someone who can approximate a fair imitation of same /s

That's even more effort than sending a tweet to 32000 followers of the boards.ie account with replies turned off.
The lads don't have the time or the bandwidth for that;
They are out there making deals to save the site, no time to try and engage anyone who may have residual goodwill or interest in this place!

Goddamit man!
This is BUSINESS!!!

We don't understand the level those lads are operating at in their efforts to save boards...

We just have to trust in their brilliance!
