    I was doing a Google search and I came across this website:

    http://www.boards.jp/

    It's like stepping into a parallel universe or something. :D

    What's the connection with boards.ie? :confused:

    Was it started by DeVore too?

    That's quite an eye-opener actually.
    I'd like to know that the link is between the two.

    Bound to be one of three things:
    • They copied us
    • We copied them
    • Both sites got their design from a template.

    Which is it?

    S.

    Probably option 1, but with "us" and "them" actually being the one: "Cloud".

    www.boards.us uses phpBB, not vBulletin I notice.

    "Get on the bus" :D

    Both Boards.jp & Boards.us were started by Cloud.

    Weird that Boards.us is mostly full of irish people :p.

    A lot of people using ntl and UTV as ISP appear to be counted as accessing form the UK. dotcoms (including things like ie.ibm.com) default to the USA.

    The .jp avatars are cool. They should be knicked forthwith.

    I dont know if that would be possible with boards.us as it uses a different bulletin boards program, but it would be cool though.

    boards.co.uk / boards.org.uk are already taken, which would prove problematic.

    Is it absolutely necessary to use the co/org etc. bits in British addresses? If you tried to register something like www.boards.uk what would happen?

    A big van full of burly men would come around to your house and beat the living daylights out of you.

    Anyway, that's not important. One day we'll have http://www.boards.gov.uk/

    It's using phpBB though instead of vBulletin (.us is)

    Obviously it's not important enough to purchase another licence for vB ;)

    It's interesting though. Cloud's avatar on .jp is cool though
