Was researching a medical problem I had, turned out there was a thread about it on Boards... and it came up on the Google search.. and now, here I am

vitani · 20-03-2013 05:39PM

My first post was about Torchwood. Others that followed were about Come Dine With Me (Ireland), Dragon's Den and Fair City.

So, apparently I joined to talk about bad TV.

To find out what was coming up in the mock LC papers other people had done before we did ours. The amount of new posters in the LC forum is mad around exam time

Probation officer suggested it as way of keeping me distracted from things.
My mate is a probation officer too.

aaronjumper · 20-03-2013 06:30PM

A friend on a course convinced me to give it a go. Started off as a lurker now nobody can shut me up.

Also. I have never played Quake :eek:

spankysue · 20-03-2013 09:57PM

My OH joined about a year before me and told me I'd love it so I joined, was guided towards AH and found a new home

Das Kitty · 20-03-2013 10:19PM

The nerds grew silent on Sin boards, and where Galweigan nerds go, I can only follow.

Someone from Compsoc said to me in a chatroom across a dusty computer lab, "have you seen boards.ie?" I took a look and remembered I had seen it before, but it still had hardly any posts. I signed up a year or two later.

A0 · 20-03-2013 10:31PM

I was board so I joined...

All the cool kids were doing it and im cool..... least my mom tells me so.

Augmerson · 20-03-2013 11:39PM

Joined back in 2001 when I was playing a lot of Counter-Strike on Irish servers. Back then, the CS forum was the place to be, and yours truly was banned out of it at one point.

Badge of pride gentlemen, badge of pride.

rannerap · 20-03-2013 11:44PM

My boyfriend at the time had an account, I used to use his to browse but eventually set up my own

Thwip! · 20-03-2013 11:59PM

To post and shag OPs...and I've finished posting

Dwork · 21-03-2013 12:12AM

A friend offered me a go at texting. I tried it and liked it. After a while, the thrill of texting faded and I decided to go online. At first, I just took a few searches, that soon waned. I started really going online around 2002, just once a week, nothing serious, just dial-up. That became a habit, and soon I was scoring Broadband, I didn't tell my friends or colleagues. I thought I could handle it, but then I started posting stuff. I've been hardcore posting since 2008. I've tried stopping, but nothing works. The sweats, the shakes, I just don't feel normal. My name is Dwork, I'm a Boardsie.

SilverScreen · 21-03-2013 12:15AM

I originally joined in 2006 to kill my boredom (this is my second account btw).

I'm still here in 2013 killing my boredom.

No poo threads allowed any more. Even banned the gentleman who started most of them. Seems you aren't allowed talk about a perfectly normal bodily function, but are perfectly entitled to start threads advocating death sentences, misogyny and voting for Sinn Féin.

I joined in 2000, and quickly developed a reputation as one of boards most obnoxious trolls. I got a peculiar kick out of winding people up on the Internet. I then got bored, and stopped posting.

I rejoined in 2010 following the hacking incident. I now engage in passionate, yet respectful debate, and take this whole Internet thing very seriously.

Well, that's going well then.

Seriously, it's interesting to see how it has evolved and the reasons why.

Me, think it was a google search about getting other channels on Sky, couple of other searches as well and Boards showed up often. It really does offer loads of stuff you'd never know without it.

tayto lover · 21-03-2013 12:53AM

I joined to make sure that Fine Gael were praised on a regular basis :pac:

Sarky · 21-03-2013 01:01AM

I think it had something to do with tabletop wargames. It was so long ago I'm not entirely certain there was a time I wasn't here.

For the record, I totally played Quake, but that was before I joined. It was just too mainstream by then...

Andy-Pandy · 21-03-2013 01:01AM

Counterstrike

fussyonion · 21-03-2013 01:05AM

Can't remember specifically.
I was probably asking questions regarding rent allowance; those days are over, but I still try and advise people on it if I can.
Other than that, I was always interested in the Cooking Club and After Hours.

lookin for wimmin

Vandekyrian · 21-03-2013 01:11AM

I heard about it from a mate and signed on. So far so good, this AH thing is interesting.

21-03-2013 01:14AM

Originally joined up to ask a motorbike question. Didn't take long until I was hooked on AH.

Closed my account after I made a post that I was immediately ashamed of. Bit of a kneejerk reaction but when I took a step back, I saw more clearly that the replies to my post were not personal attacks on me but on what I (stupidly) wrote. I've lived and I've learned.

Glad I'm back. I love this place

21-03-2013 01:39AM

Joined for the bargains, stayed for the football.

Why did you join boards.ie?
