boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'

I blogged about boards.ie being #16 in Alexa's top 50 web rankings for Ireland about three weeks ago...

Despite having some fairly major load problems with our servers over the past month, we've still managed to climb two places and are now sandwiched between eBay Ireland and eBay UK in the rankings of popular sites in Ireland.

Our overall site rank is an impressive 9,689 (up 9,162 places).
