That log is almost untouched. You can tell by the times on the left, there are no big jumps.

As for Vex's habits heres another log from IRC recently...

<DeVore> vexorg, if there was one piece of furniture you could lick to your hearts content in the office, what would it be?
[13:38] <MindPhuck> well, do u consider regi as furniture and would vex .... lick him?
[13:38] <Vexorg> your sweet sweet leather chair baby!
[13:39] <regi> ?
[13:39] <DeVore> see, I knew it
[13:39] <Vexorg> ive licked regi... i perfer the chairs
[13:39] <MindPhuck> heh
[13:39] <Vexorg> less stubble on the chair!

MindPhuck

haha

"I found out that he was Ali-G" what do you mean? was he also posting as "Ali-G" or something?

Shinji

Heh, the Ali G windup was so complex that Bubbles actually got someone else to post stuff as Ali G while he was in the pub with us all one Friday night. Sneaky git

Eric - the reason those two things look similar (and christ Cloud, where did you dig that from? That's bloody ancient, did you have to translate it from hieroglyphics first!?) is because I think that post of yours is what Eddie sent me to work from in the first place - if not then it was something very like it.

Sandra O'Casey, ex-commercial director of Spin Solutions current director of Boards.ie and indeed, my sister who finds the whole thing weird but amusing.

Which bit of it does she find weird but amusing - boards, spinsol or being your sister?

MindPhuck

aha,

Yeah Rob, I vaguely remember giving Eddie that alright. Tnx

HAhah, seems everyone blames Zero, actually it was a scarily funny wind up by RevHellfire, Castor, Butcher of Nog and the HIV boys, replete with a crappy synthesiser version of the Irish national anthem and an animated waving flag, they announced that they fake named players were going to become the Irish team as they were LEET, much to the outcries of the CSer's.

ah fs, that was TFC

Good ol Coupon, Yeast, Dictator? and co

I'd love you to pubish the real story now Dev. I would.

What you waiting for?

DeVore

Dont tempt me bubbles We both know it wasnt a pretty one...

Anyway, I thought the whole thing was a scream, I was freakin certain it was you alright but then the pissup/blade thing threw me a bit. I figured it out actually, I mean if it *was* you and you couldnt have done it, then it had to be you're associate Blade

Gave me and Slosh a good old laugh though.
(and dont think I dont still have the logs, I even have Daaa's written "apology" to the Quake community )

Twas funny tho!

I'll post the logs up later dev.... we'll see how long they stay up without being deleted

DeadBankClerk

(16;57) (dev) have an idea
(16;57) (dev) might be a runner

(17;06) (dev) welll the games boards are small potatoes compared to the volume you could be talking with general population

(17;07) (dev) yeah I think it could be one of those sites
(17;07) (dev) if it took off...



And thus, the prophet had spoken.

DeVore

Weird looking back on that log, cloud and I were looking at something like 5000 impressions a month and thinking "wow, this could get as big as 50,000 a month or maybe even 100,000!!"

Its weird also, given that that log seems to make us out as visionaries, the way the whole thing has changed and evolved in way we NEVER foresaw, things happened that was breath taking to the team here. pretty scary too, when you think you are in charge of something and it dawns on you that you are just along for the ride. We we realised that, things started to change around boards.ie. We put a lot of mods in place and primed the site for what *might* happen rather then what we *planned* to happen.
Once you do that you see the sorts of things that can evolve (the drinks night and related madness, the band etc...)
It's really true that if you try and control things they just wither and fade, god only knows where we're going next with Boards.ie but the ride has been fun so far!

god only knows where we're going next with Boards.ie but the ride has been fun so far!

There was me thinking you might have lost your appetite for it after seeing the monster you'd spawned in McTurcaills last week....

DeVore

Kaimera, the ride doesnt work if its not free but we've a few ideas on sustainability in the works.

MT: Check yer mail , we'll be organising it from july probably

Shinji: That was cool, seeing loads of people having a riot because of some tiny decision you made years before has to be one of the most fun things
