    I own it. I'll sell it to anyone for 200,000 Euro or swap for a Porche GT3

    They make their money through the ads AND what little subscribers they have, so yeah, they're screwed :|/

    "the admins" is a pseudonym for Fianna fail who generously "donate" from Government coffers helping to fund the upkeep of boards.ie

    hahah! :D It would have been plausible, but for the fact that I posted anti-FF stuff and wasn't banned (yet....). So, I'd say from my research that it is owned by a bunch of Quake players, such as Regi and Devore... Either that, or the Freemasons. ;)

    Yore Ma owns it tbh.

    Great addition to the discussion! But whose mother are you referring to? Not mine, since she doesn't own a PC or know how to use one....

    According to those arbiters of taste and tollerance on Stormfront Ireland, it's owned by a collective of pinko commie gay liberals who are anti-church, Irish and family in that order.

    Now, wheres me handbag and copy of the Communist Manifesto with a foreword by Germaine Greer and Nelson Mandela.... I'm of to the George to plot the destruction of morals in the land...

    As for the vexed question of who owns Boards, we all do, we're just one big happy family masquerading as an evil internet corporation. Group hug anyone?

    For a small fee, the gnomes at the CRO will give you a copy of the B10s for Boards Ltd. That answers some of the questions, maybe :)
