    Have they been like the picture you'd built up in your minds eye?.

    I haven't met too many, but here's a few...

    Star Pants, she was as lovely as here. Smaller then I thought she would be, she's cute too.


    I met Dragan before I knew him from boards (I think). Cool guy, but I was drinking and screaming at some fights in the Ringside Club (National Boxing Stadium) so most of my memory of meeting is a little clouded in the misty of Carlsberg.

    I've met Trout a few times, a really nice guy and very like his charactor here.

    And to the few people who think they've met me in The Mercantile pub, THAT AIN'T ME!.

    I know one or two people from 'real' life. But haven't met anyone else, probably won't.

    I'm sure you're all lovely though.

    I met you in The Mercantile.

    Or maybe not. :P

    Met a few of the BGRH crew and they are sound. As are g'em, kaimera, Fajitas, CuLT, Vexorg and a whole lot more.

    I haven't met any other posters here (unless Adverts counts) that I didn't already know.

    I did overhear someone talking about Breslin and Cloud at a test screening for a film in CineWorld on Parnell St., Dublin a couple of months ago but I didn't say hello. It's really annoying me now to know who it was.

    No way I could even begin to list all those I've met. The ones I've met most frequently are the BGRH crew, best bunch of people you could ever hope to meet. Met plenty of others at Boards and Mods beers. Most people are exactly what I expected, but a few aren't, which always makes it even more interesting to meet them.

    I've met tonnes of boardsies, most of them sound. A few bad eggs like everywhere though.

    A few people surprised me, looked differently than I pictured or were very nice compared to their "boards persona". :)

    I think most people IRL are similar enough to their boards personalities but I only figured that out in hindsight :) I don't have preconceptions of what most of you geeks would be like IRL. Except for you Mairt, I've seen your KYN pictures. And my preconception is "holy sh*t, better not disagree with that guy" :pac:

    I've never met anyone from Boards (that I know of)... apart from a few Phantom FM heads (that station's messageboard is hosted by Boards) and that was in an entirely Boards-unrelated setting...

    I've met MikeDragon32 a good few times, plus some of the other occasional visitors in the Greystones/Charlesland forum. But because that forum was set up for people living in the same estate, it's to be expected I suppose.

    I've also met a few folks through a few transactions on adverts.ie. Cormie did some work for me last week, so him as well.

    I work with one of the regulars here as well.

    I know a few people on here, apart from that I did meet a guy in the place I work one night. Outside smoking and something he said made me think he was a boardsie. I was pretty well steamed at the time and not being the most timid person, i asked him. Lol, the look on his face was priceless. WE had a good chat about Boards, posters we liked etc.

    Never did get his user name :D but did get very drunk.

    I possibly met other boardsies at a Quake Palooza years ago as well as anyone who used to be on the "Phishtank" room on IRC years ago.

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


    gatecrash, but he doesn't count because we went to school together and used to live two doors away.
    Trinity1, but only briefly. Beautiful and lovely person.
    A certain PW froum regular. Again only briefly and I won't name him because he usus a different name on adverts. Seems like a nice guy.
    Kiera, twice. Sound as a pound.
    monkeyfudge*, twice. Another really nice person.
    Tom Dunne*-**, twice. First time he was drunk and the second time I had been drinking since 8am or thereabouts.
    irish bird* (sorry, can't remember your current nick) and Des*.
    Lucy Lu*.
    Rozabeez, briefly. Seems nice**.
    MAJD, the only person to introduce herself to me at the beers I attended two years ago***. Really nice person.
    WWM who was introduced to me by his better half.
    Regi, briefly. "Is this the nerd gathering?"
    Several others whose names I can't remember. Specifically the three country dudes who made me walk up the quays and back when I kept telling them that we were going the wrong way. WALKING WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!

    A couple of others who were just dicks, so I'm not going ot bother naming them.

    *All were met when I was beyond drunk and there could have been someone else there too.
    **Nice people considering they're farenders.
    ***I should probably smile more.
