Anyway congratulations
Nice one Adam,I hope we finish ahead of Mrs2be.ie Forum :D
Jaysus, there's some Munster slant to some of those categories.
Ha! In your face Boards!
Maybe it's just me, but I think the level of discussion on boards.ie has dropped quite a bit over the last 18-24 monthsQuote:

yeah, that happened around that time, boards got a lot of publicity (positive and negative obviously)Quote:

Was this before or after it was hacked? just curious to see how the site being hacked affected people's opinions of the siteQuote:

Boards used to be a great forum, but it just got too complex and overpopulated with idiots talking absolute nonsense. Not like on Foot.ie. :)
Whoohoo well done boy!
Politics.ie ? Never heard of it. :)
So did we, I mean, Adam win?
The soccer forum is definitely a joke, a bad one at that. In the Rugby forum, it's as if there is a virtual clock in the corner when expired allows a Munster/Leinster free for all, irrespective of the topic.Quote:

It must be down to quality discussions like the one on Japanese students' use of punctutation in English.Quote:
