    I think I kept searching google.ie, and had only Irish results turned on. Everything I searched for kept coming from Boards.ie.

    A friend was a member and was having a dispute and needed back up so I joined. Then my account was left dormant for a few months and I started a dull, dull job that had net access. Here I am now, thousands of posts later.

    used to be a supervisor in a call centre, One of the agents always had this star wars themed forum in his browser. Anyway after about 2 years I asked him what it was he was lookin at every day. Turns out hes one of the mods.
    No suprise that the lazy b****** was never available 2 do any work!!!

    I got introduced to it by my boyfriend, though I largely ignored it till a thread on the Late Late Toy Show peaked my interest. I signed up soon after Christmas.

    Googled for info on digital freeview in the Republic and first hit was a boards.ie thread. Been a forum junkie for years...US ones mainly, so it's nice to have somewhere that talks about local stuff...

    I got into boards back in middle of December, i was off work sick and was bord so i was surfing the net, and came across one that i liked and i have been there ever since, and actually now work on the board as well, but now i am branching out and checking out some new ones, and i also like to meet new people so it works out for me
