Subscribing to Boards.ie

rsta · 21-05-2006 10:23PM #1

I enjoy using Boards.ie, its a great site. Lots of different forums, lots of different opinions/advice on everything.

Whats the story with subscribing, I was thinking of doing it. What do you subscribers think? And also to you that are just like me and using the site freely, would you subscribe? And if not why wouldn't you?

I am a member of another site that has given brilliant info for me on recent backpacking trips I've taken and so I've donated money to that site. I think its fair to give something back to what is pretty much a free service.

All opinions welcome

You get some other stuff too.

You will get access to the Sex / Sexuality forum...;)

CuLT · 21-05-2006 10:27PM

I'm gonna be honest. I subscribe for the PM limit increase, the increased avatar size, and the tagline.

Oh, and also access to the shíthot Subscribers forum, which is basically like Hedonism-Central. All the hot boards.ie chicks post pictures of themselves loosely clad there.

Oh my yes!

Actually, purchasing subscriptions as a gift option would be pretty nifty.

Rollo Tamasi · 21-05-2006 11:07PM

can someone take a screen shot of the thread titles in the sex/sexuality forum? i'm getting aroused over here

pclancy · 21-05-2006 11:12PM

Its not half as interesting as you think. Maybe if more people posted there. Its a laugh tho

Do subscribe and give something back to those that have built this wonderfull land of boardism.

Rollo Tamasi · 21-05-2006 11:16PM

emmmm, i could buy a bottle of JD and get high for 50 euro, who needs boards.ie or the sex forum then?

Nope

I subscribed 'cause I get good use out of the site, you get a blog on journals.ie(which I've yet to use), a few extras and besides the more money they get the more upgrades and stuff they can afford.

Oh and not to forget the S&S forum...lots of scandal there etc etc.

I subscribed purely to support a fantastic service but since i di i've realised its well worth it

True but whats the harm in supporting something thats great?

You'll be sober and unstoned after a bit but you'll still be posting on boards.

Rollo Tamasi · 21-05-2006 11:52PM

i'm a cheap pirate who expects everthing on the internet to be free. If i can't touch it i won't buy it.

Personally I wouldn't subscribe.

Recently in a pole a Moderator edited a pole to show it in his favour. This to me was unacceptable and so I wouldn't recommend subcribing to this board.

Simple reason for subscribing.
No Money = No Servers = No Boards
As the current slowdowns will attest boards' needs new servers badly.

Rollo Tamasi · 21-05-2006 11:55PM

do you not notice the ads?

The ads don't take in nearly as much as you might think.

Grand.
BTW, what was your reason for not subscribing before the "pole" incident?

CuLT · 22-05-2006 12:37AM

If a moderator violated me with a pole I'd be pretty cheesed off too.

Do the secret handshake or I won't believe you're one of us!

I subbed for a little bit, give something back. Going to do it for the inbox again at some point, I'm just... oh so very lazy.
The rest of the extras are meh, I mean er, sex forum woo, I can't *believe* she did that.
