About 20 of my mates are on this now because we are a pack of losers, but I was the first one out of us. Thing is, I can't remember how I came across it, it was defintely not recommended to me. Was it advertised or what.

And on that subject, what were the origins of the board.

I remember how I got on it-Jim Stynes was recomending me the Neighbours thread one day and said I should have a look on it! The rest is history...

Some people will have to be careful in this thread not to out themselves as mods, I'm looking at you Ziggy  ;)

LOL young Laoislad.

The board's origins have been well documented.

It started off as the message board on www.gaa.ie which was run initially by Jim Gallagher in NIHE/DCU. Indigo were the service providers under Lyn Brennan.

In 99 or so Croker Park took over the site and evicted us so we upped sticks and formed the continuity gaaboard which has morphed into what we have today

How to you get chosen to be a mod , is there a godmod who see's some potential in a poster and decides yes you will be one of my chosen few . Is  that how it works ?

Same as that. I had a long sabbatical when I couldn't get logged in on the older boards.
