This is a crack habit, of sorts. 4-hour sessions of Boards are better than Smack!

This is probably obvious, but where do I subscribe? I couldn't be arsed looking when I have all of this nice community to help me.

*thinks to self...*

Haha! The fools! Once I've registered, I'll make them all my slaves, and have them do my evil bidding! Mwahahahaha!

No.

Boards.ie is a limited company - which explains why they were able to get and keep a .ie domain for the site. Keeping and filing your accounts annually is par for the course for any Irish company.

Is there any way to pay by credit card, or is Boards strictly archaic?

No way to pay by credit card for now. Various options have been investigated, but the short story is that banks are a bit wary of giving merchant accounts to companies that don't have employees or offices.

Afaik, the Ulster Bank details are on the sign up page so for instant gratification, you could walk into a Branch of them.
Alternatively you can Telephone your 24 hr banking facility and they will do the transfer for you within a couple of working days.
No credit cards system as far as I am aware.

Look at Amazon! All they had was a couple of giant warehouses! Although, I take the point. I'll be going to the bank on Monday to setup that €5 a month, so. Might give them a ticking off about not giving credit card facilities to my favourite site while I'm there!

They probably had at least one pimply bean counter in an office in one of those warehouses though. Besides, the Americans will give a merchant account to pretty much anyone who asks for one.

Well it seems that banks are weary of giving out ANY merchant accounts these days, registered company with offices and employees or not!!

Could ye guys not get paypal though? (they're american if I remember correctly-I'm sure they'll do it-they probably charge money or take a % or something though don't they?)

I think you can transfer monies directly to another account now with AIB's 24 Hour Online but that might be AIB to AIB only.
