UíbhFháilí.com's 10th anniversary
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:07 pm
The occasion passed quietly but the discussion board of this site was 10 years live last Tuesday. On 28th October 2004 the Administrator made the first test message on the board and a new era had dawned.
On a personal level I have got to know quite a few people through this site, some of whom have become close friends. In addition, posting on the site has opened some opportunities for me that otherwise wouldn’t have presented themselves.
There have been good days, bad days, occasions to celebrate, occasions to curse, occasions to admire individual skill or bravado, occasions to point fingers at individual stupidity or short-sightedness. They wouldn't have been the same without the (generally) informed debate on the site.
Much has changed in those ten years, in terms of social media, how people obtain their information and how they interact with others. There will be profound changes over the course of the next decade but I do hope the site sticks with it.
