Boards.ie

Very immature bunch of people on Boards.ie. It's less a discussion site than a place where point of views are funneled into the desired opinion by means of smart comments, childish behavior and pathetic moderators. It is what I can only descrive as very middle class and uber politically correct opinions permeate the place. I feel this is a poor setting for a discussion that may involve any topic which should have honest discussion by those involved, interested and actually in direct participation or with experience of the said issue being discussed. Instead you are basically brow beaten to conform to the majority opinion. It claims to have massive membership, but active user numbers are quite low and a lot of the traffic generated on there is by a small dedicated core user group of about 2000 people. Very poor example of a discussion site.

I used to love this site as information coming from ppl was very useful, however when I posted information about a session that was happening ONE moderator had teh power to ban me from the site WITHOUT WARNING, furthermore there doesnt appear to be an appeal system or in fact properly run, In various threads there is cursing etc. and other people plugging their own sessions gigs, etc as i did without being banned, Unfornately this website holds alot of useful information for me about my local area, I just hope another website comes on line that is better and properly run!

Ireland's largest discussion forum. 100% legit.

The previous reviewer obviously has a vendetta against the site's moderation. The main rule on boards.ie has always been "don't be a $#*!" and this certainly gets you places on there. This allows serious discussion in forums that require it, while others such as After Hours are much more relaxed.

Again, don't be a $#*! and you'll be fine. I've used this site since 2003.

The forum is good for if I want to get the latest information on Irish radio but there is a section that's a bit rough. After Hours has lots of hungry powered, judgmental moderators that always edit, move, remove or close my posts. Enter at your own risk.
