Isn't a meta thread seeking a unified denouncement of meta threads counter-intuitive?

Nope. Regular nouns don't get the possessive apostrophe at all when being super proper, however that is stupid and anyone who will tell you this rule will usually also tell you that you can ignore it, pointing out that: boards, board's, boards' are all acceptable.

Of course, that would depend on whether he meant the singular board, or the plural boards.
