Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

RIP www.rip.ie and other lost websites

    Just wanted to check who got buried at a certain church on Tuesday as the turn out was absolutely massive and went to rip.ie only to discover that it is as dead an a Norwegian Blue which tickled me. Which site have you gone to after maybe years away only to find they've long since vanished into the internet ether.

    ****s sake! :pac: It's not loading at all on Chrome that I use
    This site can’t be reached

    The webpage at https://rip.ie/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
    ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY

    Fine. Thread fail.

    The reports of the death of rip.ie are greatly exaggerated.

    Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Went to visit boards.ie to find out it was gone and replaced by 2 guys arguing over who should be first to post a comic strip.

    Everytime I hear of rip.ie, I just sing, to the jingle of 123.ie, in my head

    "R I P dot I E, just log on and see if your dead."

    It amuses me way more than it should.......

    The problem's at your end. RIP.IE is functioning perfectly, and has been doing so without a break. Fine in Chrome yesterday and just now.

    These guys started copying all deaths for rip and posting them on fb and now have set up their own competition site

    Seems to need the name of the person you want to check. Are you supposed to type in random people to see if they are still upright?

    RIP.ie must have some of highest rates of individual daily visits in the country.

    No, just put in the county, and the town also if you want to narrow it down. And you can change the default time period too.

    A few years ago boards.co.uk was an exact copy of boards.ie except British. It had regional forums as well as various other forums such as music and politics. There didn't seem to be an After Hours though. Now if you visit boards.co.uk it's a website that sells surfboards.
