    So whats the plan for Boards in 2008?

    2007 had the big vB update, Social.ie and the addition of a few extra Boards sites around the world .... so any secret stuff planned? G'wan, you can tell us!

    Also is there anything people would like to see?

    Er yeah....as Regi says, when we work it out, we'll post. I gave up trying to predict what the future of this site would be a while ago :)

    Some things we know will be happening is we will take on a programmer to code some of the small upgrades people want and to work on projects like social.ie etc...

    We do have one or two planned surprises planned but we cant tell you or they wont be surprises :)

    I have a feeling we will have some sort of change to the moderation community and the way we organise things but not until all involved have discussed and agreed it. What that will be, I don't have a clue but I have a feeling in my waters :)

    I predict next year is the year we break into mainstream seriously, already this year more media quoted us or acknowledged us and we had more signups then almost all previous years combined. considering that the site is advertised by word of mouth mostly , thats a big increase in our advertising budget :)

    This is all my opinion only!

    Some of us don't have access to said forum, so we have to make do with T-Shirts.

    Support the boards T-Shirts appeal for those who can't find hookers!

    You won't need hookers if you have a boards t-shirt on. The women will be all over you.

    My prediction - boards.ie will outgrow it's servers again resulting in a massive headache for the admins and their band of merry men, new servers will be bought, everything will be fine and then we'll repeat the cycle in 2009 :p
