    Forget the record singles idea.
    There are far more worthy things we should try and influence.



    There are children in Europe living in absolutely appalling conditions.

    BULGARIA'S ABANDONED CHILDREN

    Read this thread, use the link within it and watch the program, then do something about it.

    Mods, can a petition be set up for boardsies to sign? This could then be forwarded to the Irish government, Bulgarian government and the European Parliament.

    Being honest, we'd be more likely to deal with a problem like transport (which affects us everyday) than dealing bout children in Bulgaria.

    It's terrible, but the truth.

    I dunno, I think boards has almost a 'chaotic' power at times. There are a few organised things that do make a difference (SSF, Ireland Offline etc.), but most of the 'influence' I've seen come from boards has been it acting almost unintentionally. Things like the Netopia router thread, the 3 thread etc. are all examples where although nobody initially actually set out to make a difference, it ended up making one.

    We get about 20K unique humans a day coming here. The problem is that its nigh impossible to work out how many of those where here the day before so getting numbers for, say, a month is very hard.

    Google uses Visits Per Month but counts the same person twice or more as a result.
    1,674,507 Visits / Month
    54,016.35 Visits / Day

    As for power, it really depends on your definition. We have a great deal of power to introduce ideas into the public consciousness and also to get a topic into the media. Just about every major news outlet from newspapers to RTE wander around Boards every day.
    Ireland Offline used us to recruit and expand , not to mention organise themselves, with quite serious effectiveness.

    Power comes from lots of people. Finding people who agree with you're point of view (ala IOFFL) is the first step and we are the platform for taking that step. The rest is up to you.

    DeV.
