Does your other half know your username on boards ?

    As above - does your wife / husband / partner ( or all 3 :p ) know your boards username. Do you keep it secret - is there anything you would post here that you wouldn't want the OH reading ?

    Obviously if currently single this is rather unfairly excluding you but sure you can pretend or delve into the past for an answer :)

    Well I certainly haven't told him. But then again, he doesn't exist.

    I'm friends with my ex on boards, my current gf isn't on boards but knows I post here.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Of course she does.
    Sure isn't she typing this right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭stripysocks85


    I hope not. Kinda blows the cover when I look for advice about something!

    she certainly does...and appears to have had a read too.

    who knows what shes reading...so...hey babe ;)


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


    My ex knows who i am on boards. We stay well away from each other :)

    I'm pretty sure my ex was in the room when I first set up my profile.

    My girlfriend joined Boards a month ago, replied to a few of my threads, then stopped using the site again. She may or may not still be lurking though

    <_<

    >_>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,613 ✭✭✭✭Clare Bear


    He does but he just thinks I'm a nerd for even using Boards so doubt he'd check my posts. Even if he did I have nothing to hide anyway and don't post personal things on here (eh anymore lol) so there's nothing I wouldn't mind him seeing.

  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Yup. Most of my mates know who I am on boards. It's kinda depressing tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    Ya, some do.
    Others know I post here, but don't know my user name


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Well I'm single.


    No one IRL (bar one person) knows I'm even on here, but he's never been on here AFAIK.


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


    All my family know.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    All my family know.

    Do you pretend to be somebody else or do they know you're you? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,597 ✭✭✭WIZE


    yeah because the gf and I use the same forums


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,391 ✭✭✭✭mikom

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    Only one person knows that I even post here, I like being anonymous.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 588 ✭✭✭laoisforliam


    I'm friends with my ex on boards, my current gf isn't on boards but knows I post here.

    I say she loves being called your current girlfriend!!

    Same! He thinks I'm a nerd because I post on boards...


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A load of people know my username.. If you look at my "Recent Visitors", there'll always be one or two of them there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭Notorious


    Indeed she does. I actually know quite a few people on boards, though I doubt many of them know that.

    Good thing she doesn't know my name then :pac:

    No, they know.

    Very broadminded and well adjusted people, so they are.

    My daughter can get a bit embarrassed if she reads the TDome though.

    Daaad!!!! how could you!!!

    That's what she says.

    genericgal doesn't know my name on here, although she doesn't participate here anyway. she does know i spend an unhealthy amount of time here airing my grievances, berating the church, and hanging out with a 16 year old boy(s) though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    well, i dont really have an OH at the moment.

    but i've never discussed being on boards, or even the existance of boards, with anyone IRL.

    for all i know though, my friends could well be on here and could have sussed who i am.

    Technically speaking, I'm not a single entity split into two equipollent halves, so it don't really have an Other Half.

    My wife, however, does know my user name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 Miracleman


    I'm a new user here but don't think I'd ever blab about it to the girlfriend that I post on such and such a site under such and such a username, it's nothing to do with her really! If she's ever on this yoke herself and figures out whos posting for one reason or another fair enough but otherwise it would never come up!

    A previous gf was very stalkey when it came to searching posts and things to see what was written even after we were WELL broken up so it's made me more paranoid about who can see what!

    Umm...
    4 posts dude.
    Bit of a red flag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,727 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    Met her on boards :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 Miracleman


    ...which is why I wrote in the future tense and said I was a new user so it wasn't an issue at the moment?

    When I spoke about the previous experience it was a different message board, probably should have clarified :o
