Dead Boardsies

    So, this thread is probably going to die a death but something in another post just made me think, frada told pighead he thought he was dead cos he hadn't been on in so long.

    So, wouldn't it be weird, if one day, someone like, frada, or pighead, or sharpshooter etc just stopped posting, like, if half of these people were to die, we'd never know, they would just disappear....

    I think that's kinda freaky considering I've gotten used to the same people and if I see a username I don't recognise now I automatically look at their number of posts to see if they're a newbie.

    have you ever thought about this before? or has a regular poster just vanished without a reason?

    I thought Pigheads been dead for a while

    If you think dying is weird you're in for a bit of a shock.

    It's the most normal thing ever.

    Like, ever.

    there probably are some that are actually dead


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


    Pigface hasn't been posting? This must be the reason I've been on boards a lot lately. Long may it last!

    We'll all have to leave a letter to Boards with our lawyers, to be opened in the event of our early demise.

    And then we'll go on to ouijaboards.ie

    Who are you:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,584 ✭✭✭✭Steve


    It's already happened.

    There are a few boardsies who have turned in their mortal keyboards and are now only posting in 6th's forum.

    R.I.P.

    Yeah, some posters have actually died, there was a thread on this a few months ago. Somebody then started one in Feedback asking for a list of dead posters, that was quickly locked.
    Thats the dream...

    Dream on. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    To the posters of boards.ie,

    I regret to inform you that our Jim, known to you as "Call Me Jimmy" has unfortunately passed away in a freak typing accident. The doctors did everything they could but he didn't make it.

    Lying deep within one of his many 'pr0n'? folders was a file called toallmyhomies.txt with instructions to " let all my bitches who experienced the Jimmy Love on boards.ie know that I'm now smokin' a spliff in heaven with a God and the other chap, he's quite nice actually, I think there might be something there but we'll see, I caught him looking at my crotch.... anyway peace be upon ye'z. I'll be watchin' ye'z all take a dump, thats not a gust of wind blowin' the shower curtain (I'm not sayin ye take a dump in the shower though, well some people do but I don't judge them for it."

    It seems he was very fond of you all (and possibly had a **** fetish) and for the good times you gave him, I thank you.

    Jimette, Mother of Jim.

    Funny you should mention that, I appear to be banned from paranormal. Possibly only the dead are allowed to post there, with 6th as some jesus christ figure?? *shivers*

    aw crap, probably should have looked that one up - sorrrreeeee

    oh and yeh, I kinda figured some must have died at some point!
    I think it's more strange though, that there are some out there who are dead, but noone actually knows they're dead, just not online anymore!

    Ayo Jimmy, gonna pour some liquor for you son.

    *pours liquor*


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


    No offense, Jimmy. But I've seen posts like that on boards so its not really funny. (Well not exactly like that but from a family member)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,565 ✭✭✭jaffa20

    Ah jaysis sorry, I didnt think about that! i'll get rid of it if anyone is offended i'll take it down right away.

    That's the trouble with dreams, they rarely, if ever, come true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    frada told pighead he thought he was dead cos he hadn't been on in so long.
    Well Frada made a mistake there as from my understanding a new person is accused of being Pighead each day. Thus it's not that hard to cop that Pighead's immortal/a conspiracy.

    Crap, AH will be no more....

    It seems like too big of a mistake to make. Almost as if it were an attempt to divert attention.

    on another forum i was on, nexopia.. i used to moderate a photoshop forum with another guy. for like a year we made signatures for people, chatted and helped each other learn the program.

    then he died in car crash and his page turned into a memorial. very very strange feeling.


    edit: canadian website, he wasn't in ireland.

    edit 2: i have over 10,000 posts on that site, part of me thinks nexopia > boards :P

    Many dead Boardsies have become "born again" under different profiles after being banned. It would not take much for admin to do a bit of detective work and check up IP addresses. :)
