    I thought there was one, but I threw a stone at the bush and he went away.

    Best friend, ex-girlfriend, an old Irish college buddy, the brother of another good friend.

    Knew them all before Boards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    about a handful

    not going to reveal their identities though! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    There's life outside the interweb :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


    Only two I knew before I found out they were already members. A few are from Boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I knew about two boards users before signing up. Know loads of people from boards now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭congo_90


    When people say "i know people from boards now", Does that mean you've physically seen them or just got chatting as internet friends/partner etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Yup,the people on my friends list are people I know well from real life, though once in a while you will see somebody posting about something that sounds quite familiar and realise who it is, just like the time that my photo popped up in the "Know your nerds" thread in a group, or when somebody was giving advice to somebody else about the city we were both living in and it turned out that I had randomly met them already.


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


    Only know one. Went to school with him.

    There are probably more and, if there are, then they know me. It's not like I've hidden my identity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Do I have to go dig through AH threads from 2-3 weeks ago and find my list again?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,936 ✭✭✭LEIN


    Not a sole.

    Its a small world though so I'm sure i would have to know someone on Boards.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Monkey61


    I've spotted two former school friends in photo threads, but have yet to reveal my identity to them. Instead I can watch them from afar*

    *I don't really watch them from afar.

    Ah sure, everybody knows Peadar Frada.


  • Posts: 14,266 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Just one, but i don't really know or see people in general, so its a bit of an accomplishment for me to even just know one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,473 ✭✭✭R0ot


    Rozabez, castie, warmaster, chief (have met others but haven't spent more than one night out with them so far, <3 V)

    Id keep the mace handy..

    I know people from boards as a result of being here, and met some.

    Ive never openly admitted to anyone that I use boards. Mainly because the family would have me sanctioned. They use the web but would never use a forum.

    That said.. I love you goys!!!1!!tbhqftftwlollmfao!!

    In fairness, fish have trouble with keyboards, hence their under representation in AH posting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    I know a few people who post the odd time. Been finding out recently there are a few in my class who are on boards, but I haven't a clue who they are. They could be anywhere, anyone!!!!!:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I share my life with one.

    Meh, to each his own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    I HAVE to know somebody on here, actually I do- a lad on my course. Beyond that.....hmm.

    I like that in a way though, can't imagine a pub conversation starting with "I seen your post on boards there last night and I have to say...." :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,644 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    ah i know a good few people on here....

    a good few people i used to work with are on here, a few of my friends joined when i told them all how cool it was :) and then theres the few people that are in UCD with me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    don't be silly, none of you actually exist :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭OK-Cancel-Apply


    I knew one before joining, and I've met around 4 or 5 in real life whose usernames I know.

    Lol yeah, the way I phrased it sounded kind of exclusionary. Whoops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    I know no one here. I once knew one person but they have kinda went of Boards.

    I know no one and I think that is good and I intend to keep it that way.
