    The real answer is that I have magnets on my tail so if you are made out of metal it can attach onto you.

    Perhaps a third arm?

    And woot!

    Ruu is not a real person, he's an advanced vbulletin night controller programme which is switched on when all the mods go to sleep.

    what intrigues me is how ruu can post over 14 thousand posts but ALWAYS has his green light off


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Thats an easy one, just turn on Invisible Mode in UserCp->Edit Options. :) That or my master, Cloud, forgot to change the bulb...again.

    All hail master Ruu:D

    While we're on the subject, I actually put Ruu on my ignore list because his terrible jokes and lame puns were legit p*ssing me off. I'm not even joking... he's the only one on my ignore list.
    It's like he tries too hard to be a 'hip' mod, but he comes accross like a total square IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,209 ✭✭✭✭JohnCleary


    He's got nothing better to do :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    What's weird is this isn't the first thread accusing Ruu of being a robot.

    Eh, might as well join in:
    Ruu's tears can cure cancer, too bad he never cries.
    Ruu can burn ants with a magnifying glass, at night.

    That's such a 'Ruu' type joke. Lame & ripped off from those ghey 'Chuck Norris' facts. That's the reason I added him to my ignore list - too many uncool lame-o posts. I used to read this forum for a few weeks before I joined, and I actually cringed at Ruu's posts, so the first thing I did after joining was ignore them! It's great!

    Hah, I think it is impossible to have everybody like you, even if you just post to help people, go ruu!
    I would like to see your post record for 2006, that's some amount of posts in a year.

    You may jest, but his post count indicates it's true!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Ruu is one of the fairest and hardest working mods around here.
    I don't see any justification for noobs coming in here and being disrespectful.

    Danke Hagar, it was you who put me in this mod spot at first, kind of.:) Funny that the people saying that I have nothing better to do are probably on their third or fourth account after being sitebanned...steeenks of effort (you know who you are..for shaaammmee).

    Agreed.

    One post telling us how you feel about Ruu is fine, but do people need to quote others complements and fire back insults or stupid comments? Makes me wanna put em on me ignore list.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    I remember when Ruu joined. You're Bard's cousin right? If not than I don't remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    Sounds more like he/she's obsessed with Ruu than anything else. Personally I always find Ruu's posts quite enjoyable. But maybe the cute little echidna has me fooled...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Excellent mod. Fairest in the land - that came out wrong, ah you know what I mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,347 ✭✭✭daiixi


    I don't like Ruu. I think Ruu should go away. I think Ruu should be banned for telling people how to be invisible too. I think Ruu is a big meanie.*











    *All may or may not be true


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,669 ✭✭✭mukki


    i never had a problem with any of the mods on boards, dont like some of the replies from the mods in PI, feels like they are on a power buzz, but i suppose its necessary


    ruu is a great help when i comes to computer problems, and i am a total geek so its difficult to impress me

    Oh, I didn't realise the phrase 'uncool lame-o' was back in fashion.

    If we are handing out third arms, can I get mine in the crotch area? Nobody would suspect it whatsoever.

    When you've contributed as much to Boards as Ruu has, or even taken the responsibility over multiple forums like he has, then you may be in a position to critisise him/take a shot at him. You're here less than a month, have contributed little or nothing and to be honest, noone would even notice if you never posted again (nor would they care) so how about shutting the f*ck up and having a little respect for someone who puts in countless hours and amounts of energy to ensure the smooth running of many forums, as well as contributing and helping out many, many users here on Boards.


    Anyway, Ruu does a great job of modding, fair f*cks to him for volunteering for so many responsibilities and lets hope he keeps up the good work :)

    Really, I don't see how someone could dislike Ruu. He's so friendly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    Ruu's surely the best mod on boards. There are a few other mods out there who could learn a lot from him. He's one of the few moderators that people actually apologise to when he stops them acting the maggot.

    How would you have realised?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Everyone loves knuckles, therefore everyone loves Ruu. QED.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    everytime you say "I dont believe in Ruu", a muppet gets his wings.


    oh and Ruu

    Top bloke with a top avatar. I can't fault the guy at all:)
    Can't recall one pointless post made by him, unlike some others with a similar post count... (*cough* Tar *cough*)

    I hope 2007 brings you all the grooviness you deserve

    fair question ... anyone know the answer :confused:

    never mind that he obviously doesn't sleep, mods every second forum here and clearly has waaay too much time on his hands ... Ruu's most disturbing attribute is his penchant for an RTE news anchor of a certain age ... this needs to be explored further


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    Huzzah for Ruu:)
