    So what, I've passed your test now. I will add to the board under my own steam- as I say there are no apprenticeships stated or implied in the rules and discussion threads are for mature people who are interested in sharing and exchanging views. Having an open mind isn't in the rules either but I'm sure it adds to the enjoyment.

    Telling Dublin bus to change the routes of their bus routes ,is as useful as what your doing at the moment.

    People can and most likely will disagree. The boards work fine as they are and changing them will do more harm than good. Feel free to ignore that point, yet again.



    It is not a local protocol to me. It is the same on a lot of fora. Your whole attitude is really doing your "argument" no favours here. There is a learning curve with all forums and as such I will suggest, again, that it may be beneficial for you to become more familiar with the site before calling for boards to be changed.

    Yes I CAN disagree. If you are trying to lock horns with me then its working. So now I have an "argument" inverted commas. That's an absolutely outrageous comment - i made my argument. Perhaps you are not reading it. IMO there is only one poster refuting it properly but I'm not for turning. Perhaps the readers here have the intelligence to see the weight of my argument and the small breach of fussy protocol separately. No?

    Your suggestion to observe is noted, but I will do as I please within the rules and the member agreement.

    Well, I happen to know a few routes that ought to be changed. But if you mean Dublin Bus don't listen to sugggestions in the same way as lots of people don't listen to suggestions then you are right

    It's not maths science what you are requesting ,it's fairly basic to be honest.
    Once is enough though.

    Oh calm down for gods sake. I'm not trying to lock horns with you.

    You say it should be changed, I say it shouldn't. I don't agree that there should be so many divisions for Dublin. There is an issue of traffic for a start. You mention the areas having 250 thousand each in population...that doesn't automatically translate to boards users though. Some areas may have more users than others. Whether you're for turning or not is not my concern. At the end of the day the decision will come down to the admins. If they feel it should be changed then it will be.

    As for the "small breach of fussy protocol", you're the one focusing on that, not me. I have updated the charter to prevent any further confusion.

    Also, I didn't suggest you simply observe, I suggested you familiarise yourself. There is a difference.

    santry_goonshow:

    Your constant references to boundaries, etc are irrelevant to the title of the Dublin County North forum. The title fits in to the overall structure of the Region category on boards. The forum title is decided upon by an Admin, not the users. The regular users of the forum are happy with it & I can't see any reason why they would change it just for you & your specific interest in boundaries, county councils, etc.

    Your interest in the history of Fingal is, again, totally irrelevant to the title of the Dublin County North forum. If your interest is in history & you wish to discuss it with other boardsies - go to the History & Heritage forum. Like I said earlier - Dublin County North is more of a general community-type forum. Specific interests are discussed in their own relevant specialised fora.

    With regards to your suggestion to "divide Dublin into 4 like the Local Authorities because these have equal population bases" - you need to raise this in the Forums forum.




    Enjoy using boards, but a word of advice - you'll enjoy it all the more & get along better in this community if you refrain from shouting the odds without getting a feel for the place & people first.

    you're here a month and already you are demanding that the site be changed to suit you, even tho you're the only one who feels the change is needed?

    I think boards would be better without you, tbh. You can lease vbulletin software for 80 bucks a year, I suggest you get your own website and start a forum with whatever name you wish.

    Just to throw my 2c in. Fingal is an administrative area that encompasses pretty much all of what is covered by the NCD and D15 forums. The Dublin 15 forum was requested because it was felt by quite a few posters living in the western part of Fingal that the NCD forum had a more northern based user group and tended to focus on issues relating to that part of the area. Consequently people felt that there was nowhere really to post issues specifically relating to Dublin 15. The D15 forum was granted and while it's not by any means the busiest forum on Boards, there's a regular group of posters there who are happy to discuss what are mainly local issues that wouldn't be of much interest to most people in a wider Fingal forum.

    Personally I think the system works very well at the moment, and following on from the D15 forum the West County Dublin forum was opened for those in Lucan, Clondalkin, etc., who didn't really feel part of the South County Dublin forum. As was mentioned earlier, the forums don't necessarily have to conform to specific geographic boundaries. A critical mass of posters in an area requesting a forum and being able to demonstrate that it would be used is all it takes.

    two more interest points
    1. Suggestions are not demands
    2. Laois was renamed from Leix and before that Queens County. The latter 2 names were imposed without democracy by the British. Calling NCD Fingal is restoring an original Irish name onto a British creation.

    But hey don't let facts get in the way of the mirth:D
