The secret code?

IrishLad90

Ive been on boards a while but only started posting lately.
Began wondering how does a boardsie know another in the wild!
will i unlock a secret handshake or catchphrase after 100 posts?

Well, it's like this.

"There can be only one"!

If you spot a boardsie, you have to take 'em out. Not Ray Foley schtyle but decapitation style. Once you do that, you absorb their post count. Oh and if you spot one with multiple accounts, you gat a cool t shirt.

Godspeed my fellow traveler through cyberspace.

I always wonder if I'm on the luas with another poster...we could be anywhere!

Generally you spot them because they're wearing the boards.ie cycling jersey. But that maybe only applies with the cycling forum.

Don't look them in the eyes. You should always sit on the higher bar stool than them, so they know their place.

If they have tear drop tattos, they have been to prison and survived.

Bring doggy treats and do not wear abercrombie.


Bring your dole book for the laugh as well.

You will know when you see one. You'll just know.

Should play a spot the boardsie game. Similiar to the league of bastards but cooler.

maybe when on public transport we should cough then raise our hand after every stop, just so we can id each other?

I do this in the supermarket/ pub. I have an idea in my head from a username what someone looks like so might see someone and say hmmm bet that's *whoever*. I know i may require counselling in the future because of this.:)

Is this spot the boards user or spot the freak?

They never look like I imagine, except hardonraging. He's easily spotted.

I'd hate to meet someone who spends all day talking sh1te on the internet in real life. What a sad life.

That's kind of right OP, after 100 posts we get a secret code name and we tattoo it on our wrists in pink so other boardsies can identify us.

I wear my Boards T-shirt around in the hope someone will recognize it, but then again, there aren't all that many "big" Cork posters like myself.

fcukin dub centric something or other.


Generally though OP, you'll recognise them as being ridiculously good looking, like Praetorian up there, he'll blind you with handsomeness.... it's how he wins the battle for the world.

We're usually thinly veiled.....

Anyway... long story short she wasnt one of ours
Thanks for the abuse

Some sort of shoe based signal should work.

Since most Boards users will likely be walking around with their head down, looking at the ground with shame.

Maybe poorly tied laces would be appropriate.

There are about 630000 accounts on boards and lets define a poster as somebody who as more than 10 posts. For users starting with the letter a, there are about 4600 out of 28419 who would qualify, or about 16%. So assuming that holds across the rest of the posters then there would be about 100800 posters. Next about 67% of boards traffic comes from Ireland, so assuming that is representative of its user-base as well, that leaves 67536. The population of Ireland is about 4.4m so about 1.5% of the population would qualify.

When the luas is full it can hold 358 people, so there is probably roughly about 5 other posters on there with you.

Buy stuff costing exactly €3.50 in a shop, and you will know if the cashier is a boardsie.
