    I would admit to it but I wouldn't tell anyone my user name. :)

    Of course the minute that I mentioned that I was Canadian everyone would have me figured out. :P

    Cycling back into work this evening I saw a guy with a "boards.ie" cycling costume. I was on my bike too. We were at some traffic lights, and i felt like saying something but that would probably have been weird.

    That story sounded more interesting in my head…

    No, I don't really think about it but wouldn't hide it.

    I use it as a chat-up line.

    "I have a boards account!"

    "Sorry, excuse me?"

    "Are ya comin' back to mine for a mount?"

    What's this now, more urban slang to say you avoided an uncomfortable situation, well played.

    Wouldn't bother me who knew I was or not.

    I know a few around here that are boardsies but I don't think they know I know.

    I don't drop it into conversation but if it's mentioned, I wouldn't deny it.

    Most of my friends know I'm on boards and think I'm weird anyway :P

    Wouldn't bother me in the slightest! Why would it? Most people are on the Internet anyway and I can guarantee boards is quite tame to what is being looked up!

    What we need is a boards code word. That way if you suspect someone of being a boardsie, you can surreptitiously drop it into conversation...

    Secret handshake would be better. Then we show our boards t-shirts and have a very brief and awkward conversation about what forums we use.
