thumped shortlisted in the Irish Web Awards (2 Viewers)

[Super Dexta]

I doubt I'll go. Well, maybe. Probably not though. It's not like boards.ie aren't going to win, like.

i think the unhelpful and off-topic posters of the world could use some public representation.

 

[Diddles]

Fair nuff! We're sponsoring a category so I shall be there an in anyways and whatnot.

Great. I'll dig out my wrestling mask.

 

[the strange guy]

Pete, if you do go... show them this thread.

 

[krystal]

do you have to pay for your ticket(s) too?

Hmm, I don't know actually

 

[pissypants]

Pete, you should hold your own awards the same night.
You know, like the Razzies. The Thumpties.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

next year a couple of months before the awards are on perhaps we could all make an effort to post only high quality threads and posts so that we might make a better impression on the judges

 

[Buzzo]

We're gonna have more traffic because of the attention. Maybe we should post a few threads now that make us look intelligent/sound? Maybe something about the economy or art?

Yeah, everyone use spell-check too because there's probably points for that.
