boards.ie Ltd. was registered as a company on 24th January 2000. The boards.ie site went live in February 2000 (don't have the exact date right now), but boards.ie did incorporate all the previous content from the IGN Boards.

Thus I declare 12th February to be boards.ie's birthday (7th or 5th birthday depending on your point of view). Enjoy!

Disgruntled?
John, are you just using words you hear in each episode of the simpsons your watching nightly?

Congrats. 7Years, I remember when i was 7, I Still wet the bed, ate chocolate spread with cheese, and cried -like a 16yo girl who just found out she got knocked up- whenever someone called me a fatty.

I see where you're coming from. That there can only ever be one of me and anything else is an insult to my name?

Actually, I'd prefer more give than take if it's all the same to you.

Thanks very much.
