Good evening everyone. Unfortunately our migration has hit some delays along the way and the site will have to stay read-only for the time being. This will likely be the case over the weekend, but if we have any updates in the meantime we'll be sure to post here!

Some personal news - today is my last day working @boards . It's been an 11yr rollercoaster and I'll miss lots about it, not least the people, the sense of community and some of the crazy stuff good and bad that has happened. Take care all :) ~Niamh

Hi all, we understand the frustration and disappointment. Believe us, we would love to be chatting sports, news, and more this weekend on boards. Migrating 20 years of posts and data is not a small feat and we want to make sure that the platform is ready and stable from this POV.
