    Got introduced by a friend from college in 1st year. He said it would be a great place to get answers. So I signed up, and forgot to ask any of the questions. I've dropped out since.

    Tell the truth, you stole the idea off Cloud. I was there, I know, Mr "+left=mouse1 +right=mouse2".

    The old days of TFC just amazes me at how such good pings were achievable on a 56K modem! Good times.

    I heard about boards from MrPudding I think....love it! Thanks boardgods!

    I was looking for some pictures of my favorite pub "the stables" (NIHE of Limerick) where I used to spend my evening in 1989, when I went to Ireland for 6 months (I'm sorry I'm french ...).
    Just to refresh my memory. Then I came upon this place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,694 ✭✭✭tHE vAGGABOND


    MindPhuck got me playing quake as an excuse for me not to do work and himself and zero et al to milk my then employers for IT Services and he pointed me at some random UBB quake forum ran by some bloke called cloud, hosted in UCG 'back in the day' :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    Arrived in the first place by virtue of some broadband related google, probably a little under a year before I joined.

    Registered in the run up to the leaving cert having been leeching tips for a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭lady_j


    haha I googled my name and turns out someone was talking about me on boards! I read a few threads and decided to join in myself!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    I was told to join or the puppy gets it.

    I joined later when i was looking for a new puppy.

    I did my Leaving Cert on boards.ie so I did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    My Daddy showed me boards.ie ;) He's not a regular poster though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,130 ✭✭✭Yakuza


    Devore's a RL mate, and he pointed me at boards maaany, maany moons ago. (/wave Tom!). I used to play a fair bit of quake around 1997-9 so I recognise some of the oldies here from those days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    I think it was mentioned on foot.ie and that was the first i heard of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 393 ✭✭dragonkin


    On IRC back in the day.
    Wish I hadn't now, tried to go cold turkey a few times but it seems to keep coming back to haunt me!!
    It's the ultimate procrastination tool.
