I’m a bit of a forum junkie. Would have a lot of forums for different subjects that I look at occasionally. Don’t post on anything else at the moment though. Can hardly remember what I did before I started reading forums. Had a life probably:D
For GAA I dip in and out of the obvious ones like the GAA Discussion board and Cahill’s idiot farm. There are some good county sites out there as well like Premierview, KK Cats and RebelGAA. Reservoir Dubs has a load of paranoid fools on it but it is a useful resource for club stuff, underage etc.
Used to read a bit of Football365 but it’s too big and you can’t search for topics anymore so only look at it occasionally now.
The Rangers site Follow Follow is always good for a laugh.

Ya, the smaller forums are very good for finding specific information. Although one of my user names got the boot last week for something fairly innocuous. A serious amount of tools on it.
Lads get to be mods and treat it like a real job. If you get banned you have to send them a message asking to be let back and apologising for your actions etc.
Some amount of fuckwits over there.
To join the soccer forum you have to pass an exam or something. I’m not sure exactly, Bandage was on about it before.
If you call someone a cunt or any general abuse and you will get banned straight away.

Was drinking with a couple of mates in the Gingerman pub about three years ago. We were leaving the pub about midnight and one of the lads saw a group of people congregated at the bottom of the stairs to the basement part. He recognised one of them and went down to see what the story was. Turned out the group were on a Boards.ie gathering type thing. I went down for a few seconds as well and engaged a couple of them in decidedly neutral banter, not being in the least bit interested in talking to the type of people who turn up for internet gatherings:D They seemed dull but inoffensive. Next thing my mate - more of a sometimes drinking buddy than a mate really - unleashes a Mike Tyson special on one of them completely without warning.
It seemed harsh at the time but reading Boards.ie you begin to appreciate that it was deserved. I think I might get him to come along to the TFK Christmas party this year.

4 forums in fact.
