Have you been recognised on Boards.ie?

Fittle

So I've been reading through some of the PI and Relationship stuff here - and alot of the info is pretty detailed. One guy wrote about ten texts he had received from his girlfriend - if I was that girlfriend, I would recognise myself!

Has anyone every copped that you are YOU on boards.ie?? Like has anyone every said 'was that you who posted all those texts I sent you at 3am this morning'???

And if you're copped, do you care? Though this is AH, so I almost know the answer to that question already:rolleyes:

Midnight_EG

I've met a few simply cos I saw their pictures and recognised them, and they happen to live reasonably close to me.

high heels

I got found out on Digital spy.. It was going around the HR wanted my head but couldent prove it.. Still not sure if they think it is me. I spead a rumor it was someone else..

Ive moved job and now it says in my contract that I cant talk about my job on forums.. Its a company policy not just for me.. I think its better for everyone tho..

Made the mistake of posting in "know your nerds"... disaster.

I'd say 90% of what people say on boards is BS

In other news nine out of ten people enjoy gang rape.

AckwelFoley

I assume so.

The police have knocked on my door several times since 2006.

alwaysadub

I posted something, and then put something similiar on my Facebook page. One of my mates commented on it. I'd discovered already she was a boardsie, but she didn't know i was.

We still haven't mentioned it to each other actually..

Something like this?

Biggins

One or two posters have turned up at protests I've helped organise (and recognised me) or/and I have recognised one or two others here who turn up at the Dail when I do be up that direction.

dory

I got recognized once when a friend of mine say where I'd been posting about in the travel forum, and then see clicked to see my other posts and saw I was learning Russian. I try to keep things clean anyway so don't really mind anyone knowing who I am.

You just looked a bit serious/posery in your pic thats all...im sure you're a lovely bloke.

kfallon

Yes everyone knows I'm the greatest jockey of all time - I get recognised quite often tho it does annoy me when people say "Ah Mr. Fallon you're that guy from Boards" rather than "Ah Mr. Fallon whats it been like to win the Epsom Derby 3 times and be 6 times Champion jockey!"

Sea Sharp

Yea I've been recognised before and I've recognised others as well.

Funny you should say that, I've been told before that I have the head of a total arsehole!

Craguls

Been recognised in college a few times, granted the trinity forum seems to get a lot of internal traffic.

Leeg17

Yea. Someone (I now know), knew me from outside Boards, but didn't know I was on Boards. I made a thread about a programme featuring people from the town I'm from and she knew me from my username, it's pretty obvious

The Big Red Button

Yeah a girl from school recognised me, and I'm pretty sure several other people have but haven't said it to me. Not too bothered about it.

There's three or four people that I've recognised myself! They wouldn't be people I know very well though so I haven't bothered saying anything to them.

Ah no way i wouldnt say that..just lose the muscle man tshirt and smile...sorted

MrStuffins

I've been recognised once by a Mod here who happens to be a mate (who i had no idea was even a Boardsie).

I have recognised others and played games with them. Throwing in references to them personally here and there (obviously in a fun way as i know them) and getting reactions like "WTF?" and "How do you know that?".

It's quite fun, and now that i think about it i've never actually told them who i was. Maybe i should. One is a VERY regular poster here in AH actually.

Went into a cubicle in the Aviva to be confronted by a pan full of loose ripe shite marbled through with streaks of bright blood and there smeared on the cistern was 'Flutter was 'ere'

Got recognised after posting in KYN, recieved a PM from the very fella who took the photo!

Dont really like it tbh, posted a lot of nonsense here I wouldn't like to be quoted on

Susannahmia

Nope but I have recognized someone on here, from a really random story they told in a thread and then looking at the username and location it was obvious (Sherlock Holmes eat your heart out ). Never told them though as I don't think they would have liked me knowing it was them as they had talked about some personal stuff.

FearDark

I know 3 or 4 people from the KYN and lookalikes thread but I'd never say it to them, theyd think I was a stalker or something. Plus I dont want people to know who I am because Im a right keyboard warrior/bastárd on boards

Willie Stroker

Sadly yes with the name ... people have recognized me

Rozie?

I've been recognised a few times. Most recently by my new GP when we first met. He didn't mention boards, but it's not too difficult to find my full name, and my location is there for all to see.
I just knew from his reaction. It was "Ahh, Terry. Nice to finally meet you. I mean, nice to meet you".
He had the LTI forum open, but quickly closed it before I could see his user name. He'd be about the same age as me.

A few people around the town have said things to me. I've heard a few mutterings in various pubs around the town too.

Aside from that, I occasionally get a couple of drinks bought for me in my local by the old bar flies who have Facebook accounts. Apparently they get great amusement from the banter between me and a friend because we constantly take the piss out of others and ourselves.

Benny Lava

Yes. I think my first post gave away my identity but I don't care.

I'm Benedict Lava.

starbelgrade

No - I've never recognised, but I wouldn't be at all bothered if I was. I haven't said anything here that I wouldn't say in real life.

Ye I have, first time was first year of college...'are you Tar.Aldarion? deadly!' ha!

Liam Byrne

I'm definitely me!

I guess if you're going to have an opinion then you should be able to say it as yourself, without hiding behind a username.

I can see the benefits of anonymity in areas like "Personal Issues" or "Relationship Issues" alright, but other than that it's kinda cowardly.

force majeure

No one knows me thanks to god and as I live about 10 mils from any member off the human race so I feel safe and sound.

Here's the thing; I don't normally walk around naked when I leave my house. That was a one off.
On the other hand, Dr.Bollocko also posed naked for boards, and I know for a fact that he regularly walks around Galway without any clothes on.
Then again, Galway city does pride itself on its Bohemian culture, so this is quite the norm in the West.

Amsterdam must be full of moderators :eek:

xoxyx

There are one or two people who I'd rather didn't recognise me, but I'd say people who are close to me would know who I am. I've often mentioned things I've posted on Boards so if somebody felt like it, they could find me easily enough. That wouldn't bother me, but I'd think it weird if somebody did find me on Boards and then not tell me. Freaky weird thing to do!

Also, as I've said before, if you ever log on in work, your IT people probably know who you are.

Whether they care or not is a whole other question.

I think you're confusing Moderators with Prostitutes.
Mods don't get paid. Hookers do.

In saying that, the annual mod holiday is next month. We're all off to Amsterdam, and boards.ie Ltd. are paying for the hookers.

Each Yellow card issued by you entitles you to a hand job.
Red cards issued by you get you a BJ.
Bans get you full sex.
Yellow card and a ban gets you a hand job followed by sex.
Red cards and a ban gets you a BJ followed by sex.
Permanent forum bans get you a threesome.
If you're the ninth person to Red card someone within two weeks, which results in said person being temporarily site banned, you get Two hookers for 24 hours.

It's going to be a good holiday.

You choose to use your own name as a user name & that's fine, but there are many reasons why most people - including myself - choose to remain anonymous & I would wager my house that "cowardice" isn't one of them.
