You know you need a break from boards when:

• You're on the phone and when the callers says something funny, you say: "l o l.."
• You see a car crash and you whip out your phone and log into m.boards to start a thread.
• Your with someone who tells you a joke, you laugh and say: "Thanks.."
• Your sexually attracted to users based on their Avatars.
• A user gets loads of 'thanks' for a joke similar to one you made, which got none and so you log-off in disgust.
• A Doctor tells you have a hairline fracture after a fall and you say: "Pics or gtfo.."
• Your in a cafe and the waitress asks you do you want anything else and you say: "Your ma.."
• You take a contract out on a Moderator for moving your thread to the Cuckoo's Nest.
• Your house gets burgled and you post in the Help Desk.
• You discuss fear of starting threads in After Hours with your psychiatrist.
• You walk down the road thinking about witty comments you could have made on a thread ..
• When your out and about, you wonder if any of the strangers are your Boardsies friends.
• You use the term 'Boardsies'.
• Your last PM said: "Will you come downstairs, your dinners ready.."
• Somebody slips in front of you and you say: "Fail.."

A couple of weeks ago I'd a dream about a boardser I hadn't met before until recently. the swap from RL to planet boards is almost complete

I had a dream that I started a thread about Grainne Seoige and people began arguing on it about Joe Duffy for some reason. It became a major national incident and I was arrested. I got chicken curry brought into my cell and a computer and the Olson Twins were locked up also for something. Gerry Conlon and Paddy Armstrong came to visit me and told me to hang on.

I liked it

- Your head is square, blue, and just has two big white eyes on it.
- You arrange to meet up with other boardsies on Friday at eight, but when that time comes and you log on, beer in hand, nobody's online.
- You're having a political discussion with some workmates, but you blank for a second every time someone makes a good point while your eyes explain to your brain that he doesn't have a thank button.
- You've never met her in real life, but you've invited Millicent to your wedding.
- You include your boards name on your c.v. instead of your email so they can pm you.

You search through your previous posts to see who has been thanking you, then go off and cry a little when you realise nobody has:(

When you don't mind selling a little bit of your soul for a bit of thanks

ejmaztec

You find that some lowlife cunt has removed their thanks from your post, and you hire a private detective to find them and kill three generations of their family.











Sorry, it won't happen again, I promise.:o

bazmaiden

when you check post of the day and think... someday, someday

Hagar

It's much worse than any of the above.
But I can't tell you because you couldn't handle the truth...

ejmaztec

When you check the Irish Times obituary column for the perma-banned. They normally start off "A troll has but a short time to live", then go on to explain how the dear-departed got crushed to death when the bridge collapsed.

Fago!

When:

• You get really angry for missing out in post of the day
• You get pissed off that post of the day was a picture from the photography forum and not a funny AH post
• You check your thanks count (Again... and again) and get a fuzzy warm feeling inside when you get thanked
• You get a PM and you immediately think "Fuck, I bet I'm banned form somewhere"
• You see someone with less then a thousand posts and think "PFFT, fuggin noob, you disgust me"

Scarily enough, lots of my dreams have fellow boardsies I've met and we seem to have a great time:D I've also had a conversation with someone's avatar in a dream because I hadn't met them in RL:pac:


More for the list:

*You have more friends from Boards than you do from other places i.e. RL:p

*You see a fellow boardsie out and about on the streets, and give a small nod of the head instead of actually talking to them

*You may have a deep hatred of someone you've never met based only on their style of posting, but would probably get on really well away from Boards

*You know the real meaning behind the word "trolling"

*When you've finally met Tar.Aldarion;)

When you're in a computer class and someone comments on the state of the country, you reply with "wrong forum, dumbass".


When having a group discussion, you refer to a member of the group as the 'OP'.

starbelgrade

- When you read this thread & think, on more than one occasion, that you've actually done a few of these things.

Or that little flutter in your heart when you see the little (in my case yellow) text under you post, only to then realise it says
