Sono sicuro che alcuni qui non piangeranno la sua perdita, ma mi mancherà se va. Hail Mary Proverà un modello di abbonamento, necessitano di 2000 sottotitoli attivi.

Un paio di citazioni di Link, qualsiasi speculazione sulla loro probabile morte è la loro. Spero che questo aiuti.
"Ora siamo a un crocevia. Senza una modifica alla nostra posizione finanziaria nelle prossime settimane, saremo costretti a chiudere le tavole."
"Il nostro obiettivo è raggiungere 2.000 membri paganti. Sappiamo che è ambizioso, ma con un mix di supporto per i membri e entrate pubblicitarie, crediamo di poter mantenere le luci accese."
Boards.ie probably has weeks/days left to live.

It may as well be gone to me. Nostalgia aside, it’s a shite clunky forum of the dark ages internet wise.
Let it die.
All the wankers from there are here now anyway.
I’m only on reddit because of *that* update.
Wow, it wasn’t changed at all in the last 10 years.
They should put it out if it’s misery
People have being saying that for years.
I won’t believe it until the final nail is in the coffin.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened
I hope the weather guy starts a new board somewhere. He’s amazing
I blame MCD.
Bit of a mad journey, seeing how [adverts.ie](http://adverts.ie) was carved out of it. It’s a real legacy from the 2.0 era and mad to see its still around. I think a lot of the energy places like niche forums had around music and culture has passed on to Substack etc.
Did it not die a swift death a few years ago ?
Be amazed if they have 2000 active users.
Its unreachable so i dont get the archive argument people have about it
Boards.ie is a relic that has massively over modded threads where slowly but surely the actual valuable / active posters were banned, which was why so many of the subs are ghost towns.
Add to that the massive UI , update fail, and well RIP boards.
One thing is for sure it definitely does not have enough value to be subscribing to the site these days.
They should have stuck with and improved on vBulletin, why oh why did they move to that Vanilla product, from day one it gave issues and some serious ones at that, data was firstly hosted in US and caused a lag and a fair bit of downtime.
They should move back to vBulletin and streamline the site as a starting point.
They killed it years ago
Since then it has died
For years they banned everyone and kept the trolls as it drove more posts etc
its a pity as some of the sub forums are very good with every nice and intelligent people but the main groups are just full of the worst online scum in Ireland
Will Andrew J. Renko be able to exist in that Vacuum?
I remember there was an upgrade and I was never able to log in after it
I was active in the parenting forums when I had very young kids and it was a great lifeline. I Still miss one birth month group I was in. But the site is unusable and its gone really toxic and right wing
€50/year for that 😂
Trent!
It was great for the Airsoft buy and sell a few years ago , that was about it
I have contacted RTE on numerous occasions with the idea of combining The LATE LATE SHOW and boards.ie and have it broadcast 24/7 everyday of the year. They haven’t formally acknowledged my concept, which leads me to suspect that they have stolen my idea.
Where are the leaving cert students going to go to cheat on their mocks now?
I would have paid, had HQ not decided to buy off-the-shell Support Ticket Software and try to turn it into a Discussion Forum. The migration happened 3-4 years ago and yet in that time stability went to the dogs and longstanding issues remained.
Feel sad that I had to say cheerio to a site I’ve done my best to be an active voice on; yet something that _should_ be casual and conversational, became unwieldy and frustrating to use. In turn leading to an exodus of the more level-headed interesting contributors.
Totally respect the fact that vBulletin & hosting was costing a bomb, but in attempting to give Boards a haircut, they basically scalped the site from working properly or consistently.
Seems like they are gearing up to say….”not enough people subscribed…you guys killed Boards off”
Annoying. Only use it for the gigs+events board but its so good. Loads of well informed people on there. Be sad to see it go
