Has Boards lost all credibility

kfallon · 31-08-2010 01:05PM #1

I see those two little wankbags 'Jedward' feature on the Pallas Karting advert at the bottom of the page.....dear God, is this what it's come to on Boards, is there not a blanket ban on here for those two guys (gays?) who are affectionately known as 'Thrush'

Is that how you think of them? Do they make you angry, yet slightly turned on at the same time?

I'd still prefer "corporate ho" Boards to the horrible, cliquey one of old.

The joys of Adblock Plus means i don't need to look at them

That gets you a permanent ban on Boards.

While I like the idea of people actually earning from boards, I don't find it any less cliquey...Maybe new people able to join old cliques but essentially it hasn't changed.

Jedward are planks

so Boards....

chin_grin · 31-08-2010 01:10PM

There are ads on the internet now?

(Lil firefox + Adblock joke there.........)

alwaysadub · 31-08-2010 01:12PM

No doubt Biggins will be along shortly to defend them

Dartz · 31-08-2010 01:12PM

It had credibility to begin with?.

Nope - how bout yourself? Thinking it must do seen as you've brought up (excuse the pun) all these 'symptoms'!

I liked their first 3 posters...after that they sold out.

There's cliques?

How do you join one?

If it was horrible and cliquey, why'd you hang around?

starlit · 31-08-2010 01:20PM

Jedward are good performers but they are seriously not good singers! They do annoy me though with their quirks. Surprised they advertise on boards?? Its not like they are 'on' it?! I don't bother looking at the ads. Just ignore them Mr Fallon.

You don't choose a clique; it chooses you!

Part of the clique

:pac:

Boards has actually been steadily gaining credibility in the real world in the past few years. RTE did a primetime episode on it, they are frequently mentioned in the media.

It is becoming a part of everyday life for those who know about it. A good place to meet people with similar interests.

That said it is VERY cliquey, but all communities will do that anyway eventually. It really just shows how in tune with real life this place is.

longshanks · 31-08-2010 01:24PM

ads?

Dudess · 31-08-2010 01:25PM

There are still cliques of course, which is the natural order of things, but it's still a far more welcoming place.

Well there were still other aspects that I enjoyed, but I didn't like the "old guard", esoteric stuff.

People accuse mods now of being bullies and in cahoots with each other - Christ, ye really have no idea... :pac:

better still, why don't you name the cliques?

Earthhorse · 31-08-2010 01:31PM

Oh cool, can we have a prize for the best one.

My entry: Le clique, c'est chic!

Diabhal Beag · 31-08-2010 01:31PM

The least ye could for Boards is not adblock their ads. They don't ask you to pay to sign up but you should at least click on some of the ads.

WindSock · 31-08-2010 01:31PM

I'm in one. With myself. If I could only thank my own posts...

Oh don't be disingenuous - you know perfectly well what I'm talking about.

Faux puzzlement - yawn...

Boards "old guard" - many not nice, my opinion. Deal avec it.

You prefer the boards where you're part of the clique to the one where you weren't? Normal enough :pac:

'Cliques'r'us'.

I'm not part of any clique.

I cant see the problem with Jedward if you had your chance at making tons of money at their age and living the famous life by acting the goat you would do it too

People should just get off their backs, live and let live and all that

I say fair play to the 2 of them

Has Boards lost all credibility
