In case you’re interested, here’s a current list of the various Boards.ie presences on Twitter, not including the obvious plethora of regular users and moderators who have accounts!

@regi – Dan King, aka “regi”, Digiweb Hosting.
Staff:
@boards_ie – Originally used for downtime notifications, now the “official” Boards.ie twitter account, this account is maintained by the Boards.ie staff and occasionally the founders to notify followers of interesting Boards.ie related bits of information, including blog posts, mentions in the media… and downtime notifications
@duggan – Me, Ross Duggan. First non-director employee of Boards.ie, lead developer.
