How did you end up joining boards?

beertons

What happened? Apart from the obvious, what was the reason behind it?

Me? I wanted to break up with a girlfriend. I signed up, spent alot less time with her and thinking about her. Broke up anyway, and stayed here.

Who's next?

That makes no sense. You joined boards to break up with a girlfriend? Why? How did that help? Was she a member and you sent her a private message to say "Oi! Sling yer hook luv!"?

I joined Boards to read a recurring 'How did you end up joining Boards' thread. And guess what? Here it is again!

Mr Benevolent

Was something to do with Airsoft. I then realised that Airsoft is the equivalent of paying to have stones thrown at you.

My main haunts are Motors, Aviation, AH and PI (for the hilariousness).

They gave me two options - Stay in prison or join Boards....

Mr. Frost

Think I was board (hardy-har-har) and just signed up and replied to a few threads for something to do while I'd a lot of time off!

I signed up to help co-ordinate Al Qaeda communications through PM's. Check the join date.

Turd Ferguson

I joined initially to try and get a band together and then just forgot about it for a few years. Then I got a job where I was infront of a computer all day and my need to f*ck with people led me right back here.

I signed up to ask how to get my downloaded game that I got off napster working.

It wasn't a game

Was painfully bored. And probably under an influence or two. I log back in for the same reasons, generally.

Before broadband, when we were limited to Dial up I heard of a one way satellite service called Europe Online. Boards.ie had a lot to say on the matter so I joined and never looked back.

Oh for those interested, Europe online was a service where you put a DVB card in your PC. You would then go online and you could put download links on your account on their site and schedule it. The downloads would be pushed down at a very fast rate at the scheduled time.

There was a sort of underground system that used it too. You used the 3rd party software to make your requests and anyone else interested in that sort of download would have it pushed down too. I could pick movies and games and when I came home I might have 20gigs or more of stuff to filter through. I used to get a lot of porn but I always got movies and games that way, I would have movies I would have never thought to download myself.
Great system but broadband made it obsolete.

They are still around but the service is different than what I used to have.

My Landlady was a bitch and throttling our internet so I couldnt use Skype to call the US (or play games. mostly the games) so I got on Legal Discussion to discuss the bit in my apartment's advertising about "Unlimited Broadband".

I was here for a good while mostly on the Leaving forum to see whats coming up in the mocks etc etc but then realised there was so much more! :rolleyes:

I joined up to post something in the Tattoos & Piercings forum, then I ended up staying

A online gaming friend told me about it just before I moved to Ireland, said if I had any questions I should come here. Ended up sticking around.

Came for the porn, stayed for the abuse

Someone showed me a thread one day. Bored a few days later and thought I'd give it a look. Decided to join up coz I wanted to post something. Then left it for ages. Then I had like 2 months free and spent a lot of it on the internet, which lead back here.

I believe someone pointed me this way on one of the IGN servers for TFC back in the day.
