How well do you know each other?

Sandals

When you surf on boards.ie do you build up relationships with each other, do you get to know each other's little quirks etc, are do you just extract info, vent your frustrations for eg. How much people reading this have heard of me before and from where?

Piste

I'd get to know people more on #boards.ie because it's live chat. People can be so much for different on the IRC channel than in the forums.

Crucifix

I suppose I remember little bits about users, but I wouldn't say I know anyone to any real degree (with the exception of the people I know in real life).

Me and Lady J have been dating lately since Pighead spurned her.

Don't bothere getting to know anyone

Not at it long enough. I'd try an avoid getting to know anyone too well. On this forum anyway, it's too general and too opinionated. It seems to me that it can be a bit of a dumping ground sometimes, but thats what it's all about too, eh?
Maybe on the Music one or Sport one (if I could get on it) where you can chat about a common interest.

No, I don't retain any information on other users I may come across as it's completely irrelevant and means nothing in the long run.

I know a lot about a few people on here, not just my friends or the ones I live with either.
Some great people around the place.

I recognise you from pm's and you start threads in a lot of places.
You ask a lot of questions I believe.

I know 1 or 2 people on boards, but have met and befriended several people on an Irish motoring forum I subscribe to, and have spent a couple of weekends away with a few of them.

Funnily enough, I was talking to a very attractive young lady outside Whelans on Friday night, and during our conversation discovered that she is a regular Boards subscriber and meets with other users she didn't previously know on a regular basis!

Don't know anyone really. Not here long enough I suppose. There are some great people, judging by their posts, around the different forums. People you'd like to know. Overall a nice community!

Have never met any boardsies in 'real' life apart from friends i knew beforehand. Recognise many users and remember little things about them just kinda stays with me unconsciously like.....
'Know' most posters on the UCD forum, i remember what theyre studyin etc. etc.

Sandals... u go to Trinity and often post on TCD, also you stay in the halls coz when i was visiting my mate i thought of u [not in a weird way just thinkin of other peeps who go to trinners] :v:

Dont know them personally but I know the guys from the soccer forum as im sure they would know most f the guys that post there regularily.

As for the other people, No I only really post on soccer or film. Very rarely someting else

Zaph

Don't know anyone really

Know a few in passing from various forums, but none really well, probably because I tend to dip in and out of various forums if I see something that interests me, rather than being a regular at just one or two specific forums. Don't know anyone off-Boards, although that might change if I can make it to the Santa Cause.

NoDayBut2Day

Don't know anyone really

On this forum, I don't know too many people but I recognize screen names occasionally. On some other forums, I've made some really good friends... so that's cool.

Sangre

Been here a while so I get a feel for most of the more well known posters' personalities.
Know quite a few people from real life who post on the UCD board.
I think I can safely say no one on boards who hasn't met me knows what I'm like irl.

Gazza22

Well i have never actually met anyone from boards in person though from posting and talking on IRC, you'd get to know a few peoples personalities...

I generally post in after hours and PI and I am fairly familiar with most of the regular posters there, doubt they know me though, as I haven't been around very long.

orangerooster

Know very few

I know the people on the UCD forum pretty well and have met a good few of them in real life. Know a few other people on here really well since before they used boards also. After that most of the usernames on the places I mainly post are fairly familiar that and the avatars that people use.

Nightwish

I dont think I know anybody:(

TerrorFirmer

Obviously while I'd recognise most of the regular names, I wouldn't know an awful lot about them.

Sandals for instance, recognise the name, and the sig, but don't know anything about him/her.

A few users spring to mind more so then others like...danniemcq, grasshoppa, sparky s (for that funny chinese factory worker writing home thread - dont ask), necromincon (from the film reviews thread) etc....

I'm relatively new to the site but recognise a lot of the big players of boards.ie, and all 5 people who frequent jazz/blues (yo satchmo).

Everyone in LUBNiP knows the others very, very well. You might even say it's a swingers forum.


But that would be a horrible lie and I'd get in trouble for saying it.

Don't know anyone well. Starting to recognise names from posts I suppose. Met one person I bought a phone off - really nice guy! But unless I was buying something off someone, I don't meet boards users.

There are others?? Where??

*Oul_Doll_Cork*

I'm fairly new so I don't really know anyone!!

I find that a few people that have been on boards a long time seem to pick on the newer users! (Like they are so cool because they have billions of posts!:rolleyes: Get over it!) Those people I DEFINATLY wouldn't want to know!!!

On the other hand I have noticed that there are some really cool people that I'd love to get to know!

But as I said... don't really know anyone at this point!

Goodshape

I don't make any effort to contact people outside of the forums (be it real life or IM or whatever) but there's a fair few people at this stage who I've come to know through their posts.

So, in 'real life' -- very few.
In terms of forum posts -- recognise many users, but that's fairly one-sided; very few cases of consciously knowing 'each other'.

I recognise most of boards user names but I still wouldn't feel that I know them. Your poll doesn't really cater for that option.
