Now Ye're Talking - to a Boards.ie Community Manager

Dav

OK, I'm slightly cheating in taking this on cause our other option we were hoping to set live this week is most likely going to be delayed till next week.

So, I am one of two Community Manager's on Boards.ie. I have been an employee of the company since March 2009 and a member of the site since before it started.

I'm happy to answer questions about me, the job, site and about the company, but I may not be able to answer everything.

I will start answering your questions tomorrow morning as I've got an event I'm talking at till 7pm and some other plans for the evening after that.

Who is your favourite troll?

Have you met any troll in the real world and you knew who they were and vice versa and how did they react?

Tilly

What is a typical day like for you?

Orim

Have you any plans to break the site again?

Do you help out on the tech side or is it responding to emails and adminesque duties?

Was the hack the most "interesting" thing that's happened during your tenure?

A question I also asked Gordon - Do you ever think you will leave Boards entirely - both professionally and as a poster? How/when do you ever foresee it happening?

Liam McPoyle

Have you ever had to ban someone that you didn't really want to but had to due to the rules of the site?

If money was no option for the site, what's the first thing you would do?

How did you get your job?

Tokyo

Do you ever feel conflicted about the rules of the site, vs your own personal feelings on certain issues or situations? i.e. have you ever had to apply the rules against your gut feelings? Or does 'spirit of the law' take precedent?

Gordon

A question I was asked: where do you see boards going?...

Macavity.

What's the actual place you work like? Is it a small office or what? How many people are actually employed by boards? Thanks.

So aside from spending hours feeding all the hamsters what does a normal day in boards HQ tend to entail for you?

Banjo String

I can't be the only one wondering..... What did This guy Do that started the numerous threads....?

batistuta9

what is the ad revenue like, & operating cost of the site also

what are you looking at to increase revenue

have you ever considered selling user data

has the site ever considered being more social/personal

have you noticed an increase in information requests

do you personally believe the site has been hacked unknown to the sec. team, do you believe the site is monitored.

personally again, do you think the web is dead in a free, unmonitored, uncontrolled sense. will filtering be the new norm.

This might come across as rude but I always perceive you as having contempt for the users of Boards, specifically the posters in After Hours. Do you feel like this is an accurate perception?

The Moldy Gowl

Threatened legal action id say.

GLaDOS

If you were starting boards all over again, what would you do differently?

Lyssa

Is it worth it? Do the positives outweigh the amount of crap you have to put up with on a daily basis?

Luke92

Fancy going for a fee pints after work tomorrow?

No.

What's the most offensive thing anyone has said to you on boards? What are the chances of a convicted murderer doing an AMA?

knucklehead6

Have you ever banned someone and thought "YES! Finally got that Bastid"

Or, as others have said, has there ever been a time when Dav the professional Boardsie has had to take action against one of your(or your alter ego's) friends?
