    It was the Internet for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin


    ...they were closing all the MSN boards and I was looking at various places to rehouse a forum.

    .........by having an opinion about a certain subject <checks first post>.

    Turns out I wasn't that funny or insightful. So, nothing has changed.

    Like all addictions, I was introduced to it at a party, "go on just try it once" now I have lost my job, my family, I am not eating or sleeping properly, I need to go to rehab or boards anonymous.

    I always thought it would be cool to use a rolleyes emotycon so I went for it and joined up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭Hasmunch


    Every time I searched the internet for something boards was usually high on the list, so at the start it was very informative but then i discovered AH and has brought me nothing but procrastination since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,789 ✭✭✭slavetothegrind


    the freedom to say what i felt without the prospect of a high pressure urine shower


    that went well.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    I like to fight when I'm drunk but I'm too pretty to get actually hit by someone. Boards suits me that way

    I came on to the cycling forum I wanted to know was it possible to cycle the whole canal and my question was answered.

    Then I came on here the same night and got banned, I never went near it again for about a year, I'm back and been banned a few times more.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    The amount of different forums and that there seems to be a good few users... and not all of them seem to be freaks or idiots. It's a good place to ask anything and expect at least one good answer.
    Mostly boredom though. And when I'm not bored I still tend to browse, which is a massive waste of time really.

    I'm an intergalactic outlaw and I needed a place to send coded messages back to my home planet in the form of inane waffle.

    Asked a question on Google and this showed up! I joined, asked a question and the forgot about it for a year and then joined again. 6,000 posts later I took a break and closed my account and then the addiction started up again and low and behold I'm back after remembering my original account :)

    I'm still afraid to post most of the time because i know somebody smarter than me will reply and make me look like an idiot. I'm not really sure if I've even joined boards yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    the netshop forums went down

    I took a wrong turn at the "boat" section of the porn site, typed in my credit card number, and well here we are today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,032 ✭✭✭Bubblefett


    Use to go onto boards only to look up info/advice. Then one day just started posting etc..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I heard all the cool kids were here and didn't want to be left out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I was googling something or other because I was going to be getting married, so I wound up over in the weddings forum.

    Ironically, I had a hand in the new creation of the Separation and Divorce forum :pac:

    It was originally to pimp myself, but I lurked AH for ages. Started posting more when the forum I'm cheating on started going down hill.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭JackieChan
