    So I was thinking about a few things and thought about just how much info about me is on here, a lot.

    Anyway how free are you with the details of your life on here?

    Also (what I had been thinking of) if there was a google map type thing for Boardsies would you put a pin in it to say where you post from the majority of the time?

    I would, I post from where I work which is near capel street, but am I naive putting that info out there?

    I'll give you your answer in person. Answer the door in a minute...

    I don't think most people care where you live or work, not unless they know you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Wow, who would have known Karoma was such a hottie?

    Anyway ......

    I'm currently flogging the half-eaten kebab you threw at that old Lady earlier on via www.adverts.ie as genuine 6th merchandise.

    Not true, there are/have been some weirdos on here who might stalk the finer cuts of meat that use Boards ;)

    I am quite free with details. If someone took the time to read all of my posts they'd probably be able to find me quite easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Serious how cool would a map of Boardsies be?

    Draht! Was trying to lull you into a false sense of security...


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


    I only care about Boardsies in Galway. And them I meet at Beers.

    Not very.


    There was one, but it was only as specific as county if memory serves me...
    Make one, if it makes you happy.

    I'll have to figure out how.



    Anyway back to how free we are with personal details etc ....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    Can one edit each and every post they have made on this site down to a full-stop?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Editing posts has a time limit, after X amount of time they are locked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    Well, then...this calls for more drastic measures for the security concious. Where is all this boards thing located and stored? Could someone physically damage the hardware associated with it, say with hammer? Or the servors?

    It must be located somewhere, and you can't be too careful in today's world...:p

    (I'm kidding by the way)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    I would not post even the most miniscule information about myself on Boards.ie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    It's been done on loads of forums, frappr comes to mind. the layout is exactly like google earth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,028 ✭✭✭Hellm0


    Due to the rediculously high volume of women/men that try to track me down so they can throw themselves at my feet begging for me to teach them the carnal arts, I really have to be careful about giving out details like my whereabouts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Crazy Christ


    I would not post even the most miniscule information about myself on Boards.ie

    From reading the other thread, I have deduced that you are somebody who likes to defecate all over toilet seats.



    Grandad?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Slightly confused there CC.:confused:

    Can you perhaps expand on your point of view.

    Very open to all points of view.

    I don't see the need to let everyone know everything about me, because really, who wants to know?. I know I don't want to know where anyone on boards lives/works etc. I think the most you can find out about me is my first name, that's about it really.

    toilet attendant thread?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    So:confused:

    Is this the toilet attendant thread???

    What have my inputs to this thread to do with other threads:confused:


    Very confused.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Crazy Christ


    Don't be confused. I thought it was obvious? You don't like to reveal any miniscule details about yourself, but people now know that you poo on toilet bowls. Probably wise not to reveal who you are or what you look like after that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭the dee


    I wouldn't worry about putting info about myself on boards. I give out some personal info, so do a lot of people. I don't keep a record of what everyone says and I assume no one does the same to me. If you gathered it all together you might know a bit too much about me, but you don't have my name, address or phone number so what does it matter?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 112 ✭✭Pascal14


    I dont give out that much. Just my real name, and birthday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,056 ✭✭✭Tragedy


    May I suggest http://www.mapservices.org/myguestmap/ if you want to make a map, its quite a lot better than frappr ime :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine

    Can't imagine anyone could piece together much about me from what I've posted on here, nothing too accurate in anyway because for a good while there I was three different people emodied in this s/n, kinda like god, so I'd imagine any info would be somewhat contadictory or muddled. There are two people on here that I'm aware of that know me in real life, I'm one person now, they don't know the other two people I used to be, so they would obviously be able to read a good bit into anything i've posted, but I;d say they are the only ones.

    I am an asshole.

    Many will back me up on this matter.

    Thats all one needs to know.

    Goodbye


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,415 ✭✭✭Archeron


    I am Zorgg, leader of the lizard people. My minion say I shouldn't be so flippant in putting this type of information on the internet, but I've come to love boards, and I trust you all intrinsically to keep my intergalactic earth-taking-over-type secret.
    If anyone asks, tell them I'm a salesman for a window company.

    I wouldnt agree with the above, from what I can tell you dont seem too evil
    (and I've only seen a few of your posts).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I've given out quite a lot of personal information here. Some would say too much.
    I don't really care if people know who I am.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I've been known to say a lot. Ask anyone who browses around PI.

    You have some serious problems.

    I lol 'D

    Thanks Terry!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    Here in Norway, you have to be careful who you give your name and telephone number to, you can put it into the yellow pages and you even get a map to the house.
    http://www.gulesider.no/tk/?spraak=en just type in any name and you'll get a list, and then click on map!
    the scariest part is that you can search by the phone number or the name, or the address, it's good for stalkers here

    Way to much info ;) .

    I have found some old friends in the eircom residential by typing in name and county . So it's not a problem from that angle .
