How did you end up on boards?

I was trying to find a site that sold good boards

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.

Yeah, similar story here - started on a gateway forum (AAM) and eventually ended up on the hard stuff.

Not sure, think I probably just saw it a few times after googling things and eventually just joined. That and boredom. Had some very boring computer labs in first year so needed something to kill the time.

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

Add a disclaimer in your sig that you're not a reliable source and post away!

Used to be on a parenting forum but it got very bitchy, someone posted the link for the stingy thread and brought me to boards. I much prefer the craic here

Asked a question on Google and this showed up!

I think that's how I got started too.
Nobody I know uses boards or mentions that they do, anyway. I just stumbled upon this site.

I found out about Boards by Googling (something about possibly) Storm-Front and up came Boards.


Forgot about it, just thought wait this isn't Storm-Front when later Googling other stuff about the RWC up came the Rugby Forum, read through the threads and looked through the site. So then one day I was reading something in AH out of sheer boredom, at this stage I'd hardly been reading Boards at all but I saw something that I thought was interesting and some interesting ideas occurred to me and I decided to explore them so I decided to post.:)

Aren't you all so glad.

Every time I wanted to know something, I ended up here.... Decided to join after years of lurking. Great people, thanks everybody.

I was looking for an answer to a question that has plagued me for years..



Irish women vs polish women, which is better?

Was Googling stuff about the Junior Cert, lurked a bit, signed up but didn't post for a few months and lurked. Decided to post in the odd thread here and there and one thing led to another... I've gone through tonnes of phases now, been a regular poster in many forums, gotten sick of them and migrated to other forums. :P I've fallen in love with and then gotten sick of AH a few times at this stage...

I noticed that every banal question I asked Google in relation to Ireland led me here.

I just drifted into boards as well. Can't remember how exactly - probably looking up info and stumbled into it, liked it more and more, got tired of being a lurker (which sounded pretty bad) and eventually joined.
