Wil you still post if you "make it"?

Dragan · 30-07-2008 2:36pm #1

Okay,

so somewhere deep down inside most people have a dream. They want to be a singer or an actor or a soccer player or the first Boardsie shot into space.

The question is, if you acheive your dream and suddenly become a household name would you still break out the old boards account and come back and chat to the norms?

Me? Nope.

Most likely be too busy enjoying my money and new found fake friends.

There aren't enough hookers and cocaine plate balancing midgets in the world to make me miss this wonderful wonderful forum.

zuutroy · 30-07-2008 2:38pm

I would probably be spending a sigificant amount less time at the computer...so probably posting less.

g'em · 30-07-2008 2:40pm

Yes. I've already reached my dreams (I aim low, thus avoiding disappointement) and I'm still here.

Yet puzzingly, I'm strangely unfulfilled...

genericgoon · 30-07-2008 2:40pm

Significantly less I'd say but would probably visit every once in while for nostalgic purposes.

Kold · 30-07-2008 2:45pm

Self-defeating question. Noone who posts on AH will be successful, ever.

Duggy747 · 30-07-2008 2:49pm

When I'm a big hot-shot I'll just buy Boards.ie

And if you're not nice to me................I'll run it into the ground

If Jade goody can become a millionaire ....

Captain Ginger · 30-07-2008 2:52pm

Yeah, because I'll own boards.ie.

Miguel_Sanchez · 30-07-2008 2:53pm

I'll probably still lurk around reading how much people hate my work and crying into my huge big pile of money!

Piste · 30-07-2008 2:54pm

I'm sure I'll still have enough time to pop on every so often!

Jay P · 30-07-2008 2:57pm

Maybe. It could be my escape from all the hectic box socials one must attend as a celebrity or whatever. That said, if someone wanted to know the real you, and you said "Oh, I'm the guy who did that thing on tv that everyone said 'oh my! Did he really do that?'" But no one will believe you.

Ross_Mahon · 30-07-2008 2:57pm

A lot of celebrity's have been discovered posting on forums and showing off on Webcam to others, Bruce Willis was chatting away to people about Die Hard 4.0 and listening to their opinions. A lot have posted anonymous and been caught out.

Yeah sure why not, Ill still be on the web.

the drifter · 30-07-2008 2:59pm

yes...ill sit on the balcony on my villa down the costa blanca and check boards.ie every day while eating my brekkie...

Jim · 30-07-2008 2:59pm

I post very little anyway, so a little less wouldn't hurt.

LouOB · 30-07-2008 2:59pm

Too shallow a life for me
Fame is a horrible thing to wish for - wouldnt wish it on anyone

AnonoBoy · 30-07-2008 3:01pm

I may be wrong but didn't those heralded Irish celebrities Stubbs and What's-The-Other-Lads-Name post on here after their huge, nay ROARING, success on the television box last January?

mm-hhmmm. Glad to see you're not straining that pretty little head of yours trying to come up with something original :pac:

PurpleBerry · 30-07-2008 3:12pm

My dream/ambition/secret desire is to become a Boards regular so, yes.

Probably would still lurk about.

You do that now. You have just been lurking for so long you have massive post count and have become one with the server.

Podge2k7 · 30-07-2008 3:28pm

I'd Say So

monkey9 · 30-07-2008 3:40pm

I'm already a household name and i still do!!

monkey9 · 30-07-2008 3:44pm

In my own household anyway

The fact that I'm asking "Who?" indicates that this reply may not have been serious. The fact that this is AH reaffirms this conclusion. :pac:

When I become famous I will still post here. If I don't become famous by my proposed means I will become an infamous serial killer (2nd time I've said this today... o7 BAPS

).

Don't know if I'll be able to post as a serial killer because I imagine I'll be caught and sent to jail. Do they have internet in jail? If not, I won't go down the serial killer route.

EDIT: I also don't like giving or receiving the buttsecks with men so maybe I'll avoid the serial killer option altogether

Earthhorse · 30-07-2008 4:01pm

I'd buy the site and run it as an experiment in socialism. Don't think I'd post anymore.

But all posts would belong to the State.

And the State would belong to me.

"I owe it to boards.ie" he shouted and laugh manically after dragged down to the holding cell by four police officers, related to the sickening posts he made describing each killing. :eek:

Holsten · 30-07-2008 4:03pm

Yes, it's not as if it's any great strain to go to a website.

Famous people have feck all to do sometimes too.

Kinetic^ · 30-07-2008 4:07pm

I'd probably be too busy pummelling the ovaries off some hot young supermodel to worry about the site.

Dave! · 30-07-2008 4:07pm

Nah I'll probably be availing of the coke and hookers IRL

Yes, there is such a thing as bad publicity after all

*cough* doggy-style, laptop on her back *cough* Best of both worlds

Don't blame me if you get a black eye for either doing or suggesting this!

Will · 30-07-2008 4:28pm

My dream is a pretty simple one, so yeah I will still be posting when I 'make it'

Wil you still post if you "make it"?
