Has being a Boardsie changed you?

cantdecide

I chat with friends and I realise that I often have a somewhat evolved perspective sometimes and a lot of the time it's because I take a lot of wisdom and information from online discussions and particularly Boards. I suppose I've come to realise that Boards has broadened my horizons to a certain extent.

Any similar sentiments out there?

cantdecide

No. Fcuk you!!

Get that one out of the way

Johro

No.

aaronjumper

I am slightly more patient and willing to hear other peoples points of view. Slightly.

PizzamanIRL

I don't consider myself a 'boardsie'

I just see this as another site to talk ****e 90% of the time

So no it hasn't changed me

BrokenArrows

I take a lot of wisdom and information

From after hours?

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Ah, I'd say slightly. I rarely say

"your'e ma"

in verbal conversations anymore. It was a regular occurrence at one stage.

GalwayKiefer

I have found myself saying "I read on boards.ie that..." a lot since joining.

Yes. Boards has completely changed me. I used to be a man and now I'm a woman.

Using a site like this regularly would improve a persons literary skills and the ability to articulate.

franktheplank

Yes before i just passively disliked a lot of people.

Now I really wanna frickin kill some mother ****ers!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just kiddin

astonaidan

I thought I was better than people before, I think I'm better than people now, so no!

Aenaes

I've found myself being nicer to people (shudder) and spending a little more of my money lest I see a story about myself on here with social outrage and indignation being shown towards my behaviour.

Hang on. IIRC, you were a woman originally? Hang on, let me do a search...

Met the girlfriend of 7 months on here, so there's just a possibility it has changed me :P

Bit young ain't she?

Chuck Stone

It's made me put on weight if that counts.

Zaph

Of course it has. I now have a highly developed god complex.

Oh yeah, and a wife.

Yeah, I'm even more awesome now

old hippy

I've discovered that folk back home are as depressingly backwards as when I left and in some cases it seems IQs have dropped.

Or.

I've discovered that there are a lot of intelligent, sound, reasonable and decent people here and on some days I feel shockingly homesick for Ireland.

Depends on what thread, I'm on

Johro

Yeah, I've become more cynical and am now convinced the planet's better off without people on it.

Kylo Ren

When chatting with friends and the topic needs changing I say "Can we start a new thread lads?"

Yes. No.

I never realized how many curtain twitching, nosey, high and mighty twats there are in Irish society before joining this site.

Reading a loooong boring email in work, I had to reply and I referred to the OP

I wouldn't say it's changed me but I do find myself giving answers like 'Atari Jaguar' when I'm asked a multiple choice question.

kfallon

No - I was an arsehole before I joined Boards and I'm still an arsehole now, I've not forgotten my roots :P

Gummy Panda

No. I'm still partial to a belly rub

Siuin

It's made me an angry person :mad:

And all my difficult decisions are resolved with atari somethingorrather

Aren't you a taxi driver? :pac:

Frank Black

I've definitely become more opinionated, which is a good thing.




Right?

Talk To Frank

and so it begins..

TheUsual

Yeah, am a zombie now.

Curse you boards.ie !!!

AnonoBoy

I find I'm better able to pick apart people's arguments now than I was before I joined.

But that might just because I'm older now than when I joined.

I think you'll find everyone on here is older now than when they joined.

Coincidence?

Hardly.

Celly Smunt

I haven't been happy in so long

Furious_George

Yes, I am now much less productive in work.

TeddyTedson

Yes definitely. I always assume we all have beards on here so nearing a boards beers I always grow one so that I'll find it if I decide to go.
I have a better understanding of the public sector now too.
I stare at hipsters with absolute disgust.
I'm pun crazy now.
I want to kill people wearing beats with a pair of skinny jeans.
I think Jim Corr is an out of date troll.

That's all I got right now.

Mr. CooL ICE

I have broken several computer monitors through fits of severe nerdrage. So yeah, boards has made me poorer

SHOVELLER

Jesus wept. Its just an internet forum.

Barna77

Somehow yeah...
