    Mentally and emotionally abusing young people is what secondary school is all about.

    "Education" my arse.

    Oh, and just as a point of interest, I didn't like it when I was fourteen, but I can now appreciate that it was probably for the best. Or at least I can claim that and use it as an excuse.
    Ever watch "Dazed and Confused"?

    (btw, it was REALLY hard to avoid replying to the above post with "would you like a woweepop?").

    ...and all that from a 20 year old! Ha!!

    Mike.

    I dont understand all these people who think differently of me just because I'm younger than them. Just because my physical age is younger than most people here does not mean that my mental is also younger.

    You have the word cool in front of your user name , yet you beleive you're mature .

    I tend to find people on boards treat people as of what their mental age is .

    'I'm also asking the twentysomethings to stop treating people my age like we are babies because we are not, we are young adults who are soon going to be leaving home and being thrown into the real world'

    oh Jesus :D [wipes tear from eye , after laughing so much] , you'd swear you were being opressed .

    on a final note dont't take anything I said personnaly.....kid .

    Jaysus reading some of this is amusing. I am not giving my exact age away just suffice to say I know some of the people on here for 10 years now :eek:


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    I think the boards beer photos do a reasonable job of disclosing it :P

    Old is just a state of mind. Oh wait, that's confidence isn't it. Maybe you are old so.

    I'm 24 myself, not too happy about turning 25 in two months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    You are only as old as the person you...

    My dad always used to say that he never felt older than 20, it was just that his body was getting older...it has stood him in good stead as he is 66 and could easily pass for 50 - I would still consider him to be my best friend and he has a sharper wit than many in their 20's...he knows about boards, all I have to do is get him to join :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    What a legend..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    Damn ye teens, I feel old now!

    Interesting Poll though, the majority of users of boards are in the 20 to 30 bracket!

    And me, well I'm 23!

    a little advice to coolciaran, YOU stop abusing boards, going running around "i'm a fourteen year old, respect me" will not help you at all. I fact, it will probably ruin you rvery "mature" posts.

    (I'm a similar age, but I don't exactly call myself mature for my age at all)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭*adele*


    What Is With All The Age Threads These Day?????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    You tried to do that all in caps didn't you? and you left out the s in days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp

    it's easy to make a tping mistake


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp


    [slow clapping]
    [mean comment, request by PM]
    anyway, back on topic, how does boards get all these users?
    it doesn't advertise.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 602 ✭✭✭edibility


    edit: nm, omnicorp bet me to it.

    Boards gets users because it's the main irish internet forums, tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp


    but how do people find out about it.
    1% of the pop. is a lot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    Word or mouth..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp

    Yes, but thats taking the overall population.

    Take the population of the country that have internet access and you will find it smaller. Then take the population of that population who know what a web bulletin board is and dont have a dell PC filled with viri.

    Then you might find a population percentage to measure boards against.

    Boards is found by one of two ways usualy, word of mouth and extensive google searches for rubbish.

    LOL.

    People generally come across it through search engines, and word of month. Also, with the recent press release (interview with Cloud) I'm sure your see a few more Newbies jumping about!
