Who is your Boards hero?

    Well? Who is the poster that makes you go "Golly, what a guy/gal he/she is!" Who is the user who's latest posts you notice above all others on the front page? Who's razor-sharp wit and humbling humility makes you laugh and cry, probably at the same time? Tell us lads, who is your hero? Don't worry about teh ghey here, it's all platonic.

    Mine is Degsy just because of his reactionary, take no prisoners attitude. I may not agree with 100% (or even 75%, or even 50%) of what he says but gosh, the man has a piercing venom in his posts that really sticks out for me.

    Some of the ones who make me think "fair play" are:

    Thaedydal
    Terry
    Snyper
    Guan Yin
    Dudess

    Don't get me wrong there are loads more who I really enjoy but each of the above are people who stand out for different reasons. I like people who take alot of flak and yet still keep going, being themselves.

    I will put you out of your misery and get it over with now.
    Why it is Frada , of course!

    Followed closely by javaboy and Snyper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I don't think I have a boards hero. Many people that I think post really well but no heroes as such.

    Cue someone linking to Bonnie Tyler on Youtube.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Two who actually give me belly laughs when they ban/lock threads are Karoma and Terry.

    And no i am not kissing ass as the AH modship has been taken :)

    And as for only asking the lads for their opinion? I spit in your general direction, young Frada!

    Pigheads hero, alas, is no longer with us. But massive respect goes out to DJ Spider for teaching Pighead that age is just a number.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,431 ✭✭✭✭Saibh


    sharpshooterH for her puns*

    not for another few hours;)


    and i suppose i better include Frada:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Terry, Javaboy and Pighead nearly always post something witty/hilarious in even the most mundane trees. Also I loved Terry's banning for saying the scottish play :D


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


    I have witnessed many comings and goings of boards personalities, tis really quite sickeningly cliquish as the usual posters with their massive post counts tend to back each other up. What annoys me the most though is how people will tend to skip over posts and only read those by members of this insidious cabal.

    That said my favorite poster has to be Pighead, guy is at least original.

    Has to be Dudess, she's the only person on boards who I know I'll find myself agreeing with 95% of the time.

    Is this thread to see how many people mention you then you can try and judge how you are doing in the awards? ;)

    Nope. I was genuinely curious as to who everyone in AH think is a badass poster is and why.

    *Cough*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,454 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    For me it has to be none other than Javaboy, because he gives witty, educated, and funny answers no matter what the subject.

    A close second is Turd Ferguson for the lulz

    Special mention to Snyper as most aspirable legend on boards!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera

    Nope. Must try harder!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭marzic

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,494 ✭✭✭Riddle101

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


    seamus.

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


    It was Terry.
    But as of two minutes ago, I think Penis Eye is a serious contendor, best user name ever!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 491 ✭✭deleriumtremens


    My personal favourites would have to be FlutterinBantam, Pighead, TurdFerguson and Frada!!

    If we're going by those standards, than OscarBravo fights for great justice. Launch all Zig.

    edit: and RedXIV for that business in Personal Issues earlier in the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭ReacherCreature


    Terry!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Dennis the Stone


    Gareth37 because he reminds me of the wonderful courage that sufferers of mental illness can show on a daily basis


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Terry's up there, pighead is also up there when he's not ripping the piss out of my posts.

    Can we have a thread "people on boards you hate"? Pwease?

    There's one in "the dome"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭phenomenon


    My vote goes to the regulars of the Thunderdome -
    Degsy,
    Fulton Crown,
    Flutterin Bantam,
    Creeping Death,
    Captain Darling &
    Slideways!

    I love you guys and I'm not worthy to be in prescence. I've nearly choked myself laughing on so many occasions now that the doctor warned me not to read the thunderdome. :D
