How many people have you found on boards?

I mean the types of friends you will go out drinking with, meet up with, outside of just boards.ie beers or something.

Ive been here a long time, so I don't think I can actually answer that, but its probably a pretty high number.

Terry

Absolutely none.

Edit: Anyone sending me a PM saying they will be my friend will be instantly banned.

you mean boards.ie??

Dord

None. A few of my family members post here though *waves*

arybvtcw0eolkf

I'd know alot of the lads on the Martial Arts forum, I've fought & sparred with a few too.

Other than that, I've met Trout and some chic from the Pets forum (can't remember her username).

I think thats about it.

I know alot of the gurls here wanna meet me however

Ballerina

how would you make friends with someone on boards....don't you all live in my computer??

Saruman

None, only people on boards i socialise with are people i knew before boards.ie
Then again its not like i have gone to any boards beers etc... I have met a few people on a couple of Ghost Hunts now and while i "would" socialise with them, i have not as its not practical etc.

I will be your friend.

Ha! I didn't PM you it, so I can't get banned.

Ehm, I have .. 3 friends, maybe more, on here.

cornbb

I have maybe 10-15 friends that post on boards, none that I actually met through boards though.

Kintarō Hattori

None at the moment. I've worked with a few regular posters but they wouldn't be drinking buddies. One or two were rather sound and a few were spanners.

Wait.
Did you actually start this thread to boast about how many e-friends you have?

congo_90

have two friends so far that i know on boards. i knew them before boards though. haven't socialised or attempted to on this. I don't see it as a socialising site really, still wouldn't say no to a chat from anyone on this... pm away...

You went out with bubbles?

I've found a small few friends through Boards, not many, but they're people I could trust and respect, proper friends. If it wasn't for geography, I'd spend a lot more time in their presence.

As a result of using Boards.ie? hmmm. 1 maybe?

monkeyfudge

Disturbingly the amount of people I know and meet regularly through boards is quickly catching up with people I know from conventional channels.

Crumble Froo

kinda what he said... though i tend to mix teh two groups a lot...a nd some of my daily mates have accoutns on boards, though i'd rarely see them/talk to them online.

Ruu_Old

None... that I am aware of anyway. *looks over shoulder* >_>

Nothingcompares

2/3 guys were using this forum that I happened to know via college before hand. I'd say there is about 20 people that I've met through boards that I meet fairly regularly in real life and about 10 of those would be good friends.

Amz

4 or 5 good friends. I'd go for pints with about 10 - 15 on a regular basis. Whether the feeling is mutual, or not is another thing.

LMFAO

biko

I already have friends outside of boards. Mind I have met lots of nice people through boards, at beers and sports and stuff..

Fozzy

I know a few people on boards, but not because of the site

Xavi6

Anyone who has played for Bordeaux would know each other. Great bunch of lads there.

kelle

My brothers introduced me to Boards.ie, they're the only people I know from Boards.ie (2 of them are site banned, though!)
I suppose i'm "friendlier" with those from the Parenting forum in that we exchange lots of private messages, even though I never met them.

i'll take that to mean that you have neither friends on boards.ie or any others considering the amount of ****e you spout on a daily bais.

lol. no. i just thought of it today at work and wondered really.
i have quite a few friends from before boards.ie started, during the dark days of lacerta and quake etc, but since boards.ie started, ive met a lot of people through boards that i consider friends.

although, i would never fraternize with mere users, they need to be at least mods, or ex mods

i did meet my wife on boards though. or should i say, re met her. we were in university together.

I'm not. My response was auto-generated. As is this.

Look lads I'm afraid you've missed the point. The internet is founded on pure, unadulterated rage. If you aren't flamewarring or on trollwatch you've no business being in the tubes.

And on that note, this gets even funnier when you voice over that song from Right Said Fred.

LadyJ

Hmm... Well I have friends on boards who I knew before I joined and through boards I'd say I've made at least 5 friends who, if I had more of a chance, I'd go drinking with more of the time.

kaimera

Knew a few folks before they joined boards.

Met one or two people thru boards, socialised and all with them.

boards beers are the new target for meeting people

WWMAN allowed me sleep on his sofa before.

Aye.

Although, we are yet to actually have a proper piss up, there is one on the cards.

Also, I've met a few lads through the soccer forum at various grounds around the country.

One or two who I'd chat to regularly, and always meet up for pints and general merriment when out teams meet.

monkeyfudge

Oooh... just counting there now... and I believe I've met 10 people who have posted on this thread.

kev_s88

i know 2 people who post on boards.ie and thats only because they sit either side of me in work.they introduced me to this magical place.

havent really made any new friends on boards.ie but who knows, that could all change

L1011

I've met a few boardsies in various FS/adverts.ie transactions; my two brothers post on here as do a few current or former colleagues; and a few real life friends I knew offline first. Nobody I've met from here first I'd call a "friend" though.

feylya

I know 6 people from this thread IRL, 3 reasonably well, I go drinking with a number of Boardsies reasonably often. Even my boss is a Boardsie! Yes sir, I'll get back to work

Pompey Magnus

As far as I'm aware I don't know anyone on Boards, but you never know.

Rockee

Met my fellow bandmate on boards. 'Bass Player Wanted' and Seany replied!! He is also one of my best friends now.

Boards.ie.....bringing people together. :D

justsomebloke

actually a good few from the fitness forum, I have trained a few times with them gone out drinking on a few other occasions and would consider them mates

azezil

Quite a few actually, knew some before boards, or I introduced them to boards but yeah a lot of my social circle in some way revolves around boards!

Does he know you do drugs?
