PI would be sending a couple of threads over to it every month but I don't know if having it would be a good thing. Would it not create a massive mess of asl/irc type threads?

Well I suppose it's up to the Admins/Mod of the forum as to how that would be handled.

But you could split it up like for-sale is.

F seeks M
M seeks F
M seeks M
F seeks F.

Of course these are just crazy ideas that pop into my head.

Not that I have any interest in the subject myself, but I think there could be a "market" for it.

Muppets,freaks and wierdos ahoy!

I'm sad and desperate so I'd use it if there was any, like, wimmin around. What's the ratio around here, about 99.99:1?

I don't think that using a personals service necessarily implies that. I just got the feeling from some posters that they wanted it for their personal amusement rather than getting any use from it.

hey, maybe a personals would be where I'd meet that maths/computer science obsessed little gym-bunny of my dreams!

Thats a very condecending and biased attitude to take.

Alot of people are finding it harder and harder to meet people dating due to the strains and pressures of careers and working long hours. AOL surverys have found that 70% of their adult members have applied to "personals" websites at some stage. There is also a huge upsurge in women using male escourts for formal functions due to time constraints on their personal lives.

In any case, I think its a bad idea. there is enough in boards.ie with PM's, postings, IRC and Boards Events for anyone looking for social contacts.

I'm with Skyeirl, if you fancy the way someone from the way they are posting PM them. Meet up at Boards Beers (plenty of people got their oats at the last one it seemed... eh Wolfie? )

I'm not at all sure this wouldnt be a REALLY bad idea.

Oh go on DeV... you could increase the pervert factor around these parts by... oh, I'd say easily 200% or more.

You can't possibly loose.
