    On the 12th of February 1998, I wrote an innocuous post:
    The first of many messages I hope!

    on the Quake discussion forum that became boards.ie.

    Happy Birthday boards.ie, and have a piece of cake boardsies everywhere!

    The admins play PM roulette every Friday night.

    They pick a userid at random and then post all of their PMs in the mod forum for everyone to look at.

    Of course they don't

    Happy birthday, boards.ie - amazing and annoying in equal measure, just like an old friend.
