    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.

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

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

    Yet puzzingly, I'm strangely unfulfilled...

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

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

    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 :(

    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:
