Anybody able to give me a run down on the major events in the websites life? Like d.o.b., major updates/problems, etc. Nobody ever seems to talk about it...Something to hide maybe?:confused:

NEVER and I mean NEVER mention The Problem.

Most of us are still scarred from the events of The Problem. Many of us have never been the same since

Sit down Son.

A mammy board met a daddy board and they loved each other very much. They had a special kiss and a few months later boards.ie was created.

a couple of years ago a homeless jazz musician and the queen of norway had a bit of a one night stand. their offspring fullfilled the prophecy that was foretold "yeay, and there shall be a man and he will create boards.ie". and well here we are.

Did I hear correctly that there was some big site overhaul around 2002 maybe?

This Facekicker chap everyone keeps going on about.

I think it had something to do with the fact that he said face-kicking related things.

I could be wrong.

Remember before daft.ie bought it and before Digiweb were helping out with the hosting and the site's servers were run by the mods or whatever with no money coming in. Site moved at a crawl, very annoying.

Sorry about mentioning that, I never knew, does anybody know how many members boards actually has? Also can you find out the results of that census yet?
