The cause of many a slump in productivity in places of work around the world. And damn good fun. Or something.

"Boards.ie is Ireland's brightest bubbliest and best bulletin board website, an online community with more communing than a prayer fight between a tibetan monestary and a tribe of tree huggers. It's more colorful than an accident at the Dulux research plant and slicker than a used polyester sheet on a second hand waterbed. It heaves like a Leaving Cert student at 10pm on the night the results come out, spreads like a venereal disease in Copper Face Jacks and is more fun than naked Buffy in a trampoline warehouse. If the addiction of boards.ie could be bottled and sold, the boys behind the boards would be domiciled in Columbia."

...in my humble opinion.

lmao at Minesajackdaniels....

I'm gonna keep that for the next time someone asks me for my "elevator pitch".

I'd say:

"Somewhere like-minded people can swap information and converse with each other without being herded from shop front to shop front. There the discourse and interaction are the primary raison d'etre rather then growing numbers in order to grow revenues... as a result the community responds with unusually high loyalty.

Boards.ie, if its your first time.... you have to post."

This should be on the front page.

"I'm not a dentist but before I started using boards.ie I had flabby thighs, was insane, and was addicted to crack cocaine. Now, with the help of boards.ie I have taken to not wearing any pants, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Sign up to boards.ie today, I did and now I am much much happier (mind you that could be the lack of pants)"

Boards is somewhere that I havn't spent enough time lately!

But now that I have made the move from future unemployed bum to actual unemployed bum I think I'll be devoting more time to Boards.

The passion and emotion excited by the acquisition or expectation of a reply.

Pleasurable feelings or emotions spured from a supportive reply.

The exhilaration of acceptance when gained from one's peers.

Before I came here, I never thought a web site could be addictive. Of course I never thought a web site could lead to me being branded as a homophobe (and I'm not one), getting very drunk with 50 other people I'd never met before, winning an award, using crap vocabulary and "l33tsp34k", telling jokes about "yore ma", buying second hand goods from someone known to me only as "WhiteWashMan", or getting arrested outside a strip club on Dame Street at 2.30am either...

Boards.ie - The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems

OK, stolen from Homer, but it's true.

Figment- that banner rocks now with all the quotes in it.
Any chance, it could be turned into a taskbar? Now that would be sweetness.

I'll have to quote that flash I made earlier - Can't think up anything else bar the word 'brilliant'.

Unless I say something lame like this...

Boards.ie!
The land full of Adamant Admins, Mighty Moderators, Perpendicular Peons, Sarcasm Devices, Amp Tests and plenty of text that was 'apparantly' written by people on the INATEARNET!
