Is there a specific date for this, or can we break out the party hats and poppers now?

Poppers! What sort of party are you proposing?

humanji · 02-02-2007 01:20PM

A nationwide Boards Beers event on the date would do the trick!

I was guessing from people that are registered since 98.

Anyway, the site really only kicked off in Feb 03.

Queers use poppers, they widen your hole apparently!

Thanks for the clarification...

No no, they relax you and give you a slight head-rush type feeling for a short period, so apparently its easier for gay men to "initiate" sex whilst under its influence.

I know plenty of straight people who use them too, they don't last long but the kick(from the poppers) is actually quite pleasant.

Oh and hurray for Boards etc.

No, they also relax your asshole.

Well, thats what I meant by "they relax you", they pretty much relax all your muscles, but my point was that the drug/popper itself doesn't widen gay mens assholes, the other guys c*ck does (the poppers just make it easier).

Yay, that's my birthday too! Except I'm 13 years older.

A thread about a website's birthday turns into a thread discussing the physics of gay sex.

Yep, that's boards.ie for you!

You seem to know alot about poppers rb_ie:)

Haw haw, I know what you're getting at there :rolleyes:

Well, it would be stupid to do a drug (if it can even be called a drug) that you have absolutely no idea as to how it will affect you, or what the drug does in general...then its just common sense I guess! They're used by both homosexual and hetrosexual people as both a recreational drug and a sexual aid.

Ah I remember when it was just a Quake forum.

I'm more worried about cloud referring to himself in the 3rd person.

horrible drug.
I have a friend who uses it regularly. He loves it.
He brought it to the pub one night and ended up spilling some on the floor. I walked in, bought a pint, walked over to my friends and almost threw up at the smell of the crap.
It's pretty much the same as thinners or butane, but apparently less harmful. Does increase your heart rate though.

anyway, happy birthday to boards.

I tried it a couple of times when I was about 15 and didn't know what it was. There's a brief fun high, but a KILLER headache afterwards. It messes with your vision too, from what I remember. I seem to remember looking at my skin and it being yellow during the high.

boards.ie Ltd., Ireland's largest message board community, has acquired the "Boards Group" set of message board sites from creator and boards.ie director John Breslin, in a move that opens the way for similar community websites to boards.ie in other countries such as the UK and the US. boards.ie is one of the largest indigenous Irish websites, and celebrates its 7th birthday as a company in February 2007.

To date, the Boards Group consists of boards.us, a site for discussing all things related to the United States, boards.jp, a Japanese animation fan site, and smaller discussion sites for New Zealand and China. Plans for international expansion involve boards.org.uk, which aims to become a sister site for boards.ie in the UK, and boards.tv, a television discussion forum that is currently in early development.

The acquisition also includes journals.ie and Planet Journals, a popular blog hosting and aggregation service that was established by Breslin in 2005. The boards.ie "eyes" brand, currently used on the classified ads subsite adverts.ie, will be extended to this service.

It reads like a press release for the national media, when's the floatation being announced? Will we get preferential or common shares?

At first I thought you guys were talking about a different kind of poppers, or a cooked and breaded jalapeno pepper stuffed with cheese. Obviously not! Although something getting stuffed seemed to apply in both cases?

I discussed this with John a few weeks back and he informed me that all mods will recieve a 0.1% share in the company, with Smods and Cmods recieving 0.2%.
The floatation is due for the 22nd of may this year and shares are likely to be somewhere in the range of 37 cent.
Subscribers will also recieve a kick back in the form of 2 months free subscription as a thank you for their support.
Also, users with a join date of 1998 will recieve shares too, but only those who are still regular users.

this may not be entirely true.
