Why did you create a boards.ie account?

CrazyRabbit · 02-03-2013 05:03PM #1

I was a lurker for quite a while, but eventually created an account when Airsoft became legal. The admins were good enough to create forum for Airsofters, and so we used it as the central talking place/news outlet for all things airsoft related.

My first post was actually to give traveling advice to someone, which unfortunately turned out to be of no use.

If you are not sure what your first post was, you can check by clicking 'Show all statistics' in the top right corner of your profile, then choosing 'Find all posts by xxxxx'. And of course, reverse the sort order in the results.

So why did you sign up?

To get chicks...

1ZRed · 02-03-2013 05:05PM

Pure and utter boredom. Still holds up too

Andersonisgod · 02-03-2013 05:06PM

For the lovely ladies....

And the vibrant football section of the forum, the ability to talk about Soaps, MMA, wrestling and films all in the one place. The excellent moderating (compared to other forums I've been on).

was looking for metallica bootlegs iirc

Chavways · 02-03-2013 05:08PM

To have the bant with my interweb chums.

Tom_Cruise · 02-03-2013 05:09PM

Because i don't have any real friends, im ugly and no one likes me so this is my only tool for socialising. Im a pathetic person.

Because in those days, you could count the amount of Irish websites on one hand.

Lurked for years, signed up when I moved out to the country and got a second phone line just for the net (dial up was painful on a shared line).

Dwork · 02-03-2013 05:19PM

As an outlet for my intellect. Turns out that pitched right up somwhere at the level of class eejit of AH. I am now seeking an outlet for my superior ability with large hammers and cutlery.

Duff · 02-03-2013 05:19PM

To post in the Leaving Cert section. Still haven't visited it.

sink · 02-03-2013 05:20PM

I joined up to sell surplus U2 Croke park tickets.

sfwcork · 02-03-2013 05:22PM

I am so intelligent that i was asked by the owner of the site to join

He believed the iq was dropping and i brought it up again

amen · 02-03-2013 05:27PM

Because it before boards it was used for quake gaming.

michellie · 02-03-2013 05:28PM

Signed up 6 years ago when I worked in a call center Aol and we had unlimited access to the internet, never looked back since haha

Pilotdude5 · 02-03-2013 05:31PM

I thought I was watching the International Space Station disintegrating while drunk one night.

Blumpkine · 02-03-2013 06:14PM

I'd heard after hours was worth a read, so here I am. Again.

markpb · 02-03-2013 06:17PM

I'm fairly sure I joined because someone was wrong on the internet :-)

Then I joined and brought it right back down again...damn

omahaid · 02-03-2013 06:24PM

As I recall it was because Esat kicked me off their no-limits plan, they're fuckers.

cartell_best · 02-03-2013 06:36PM

I joined boards after I lurked around for a long time, simply because some posts that caught my attention were either totally crazy or on the same level of thought as myself. It's an excellent outlet for discussing and at times just outright arguing a point that makes it worthwhile. Some posts I disagree with but I have to be PC about, but others...I will join with pleasure, nevertheless, its great to discuss any topic we feel is worth or credible to respond to. Either way, its great to be able to agree or disagree, whatever the topic. Its just fascinating that so many personalities can be in the same room (cyber, I know) and just go for it. Imagine fitting all of the personalities we have on boards, especially AH into a room 10 or 15 years ago before the internet well and truly kicked in (Jesus, I can only imagine the "actual!!" arguing that would go on).

Cereal Number · 02-03-2013 06:38PM

I got into Quake 3 again, so i thought id join up, the description wasnt entirely accurate.......

spektorfive · 02-03-2013 06:41PM

I'm lonely and don't really have anyone to talk to...

**Vai** · 02-03-2013 06:45PM

Pretty sure it was when I got my first office job. I had money and wanted advice on which guitar to buy.

I've always felt the "Poultry Exchange" was one of the best features.
