Is your OH on Boards too?

Gloomtastic!

What does your OH think of you spending time posting/reading on Boards?

Are they fully paid-up addicts or do they give you that eyes-to-the-ceiling look?

Mine's in the latter........ :rolleyes:

I'm sorry. What does your mammy think if you being on Boards?

Used to be, not any more afaik. Got sick of it. When I mention a thread topic or such now he's just like mmhmmm, as he's presumably, like an outsider looking in, going yeah I can see the way that'll go.

No he has no interest

I do have secret boardsie crushes but that's all they are. I don't think I'd like to know if a boyfriend was a poster here and vice versa. It's my escape from the ordinary.

No, he's on Reddit. Anything he or I see and mention of interest, the other has already seen.

I think she has an account but doesn't post or or look at it that much.

She may secretly read everything I post.

OK, you got me curious now, but along with Reddit don't think I can spare any more time (wasting) out of my day!

Nope.. I occasionally see posts of hers about the place but I've no interest whatsoever in opening that can of worms again.

Same as meself, sometimes have thanked their posts without looking at the username, and seen them reply to posts of mine in a way that suggests they also haven't read the username! Doesn't bother me though, it's been a long time.

Of course at the start the stalking was rife! But after a while I realised how boring it was.

My dad had a girlfriend.

ablelocks

no, she calls ye inbetweenersvoice "internet friends".

my kids are intrigued by boards though. the idea that one can ask a question, get the correct answer (usually) and that "everyone helps everyone else"*. so they call ye fairies.

*doesn't necessarily apply to all forums, just the ones i usually use. i haven't told them about AH either.

Winterlong

Nope, but I am sure she checks up on me in here every now and then.

Was about to say the same

The ignore button was useful for that...

I keep telling my OH about it but he just says yeah I must take a look..clearly I sell it well!

don't have an oh

any woman out there looking for an oh pm me

When I met my OH's brother for the first time, they were gossiping about something on Reddit. I asked the brother "Do you post on boards?" He laughed and shook his head, and said "I'm a moderator on boards!" I replied "Me too."

Their mother was falling out of her chair laughing. Boyfriend's face was very much "Well played!"

Of course we're both mods of very quiet, niche forums but who needs to tell.

beks101

Definitely not. He's English and has no idea what boards.ie is. He's clocked it a few times on my laptop and I think he assumes it's some work programme or something :pac:

Don't think I'd want to be bumping into any of my exes around here either. I often wonder if anyone I know in real life has ever recognised me through my posts though. Kinda creeps me out to think about. I like the freedom of anonymity.

Nope and he thinks I'm a fruit loop for chatting to a boardsie on the phone at 4am last Monday night

/I was chatting go a chick not another dude.

Rubberlegs

I've no idea if he is or not, but I doubt it. If he was it'd be on a particular sports threads. I wouldn't be going looking to see, I've never mentioned Boards to him, it's my own thing. The very same as I wouldn't be friends with him on Facebook, can't be doing with the creepy couples thing! As far as I know, only two people on Boards know who I am, more than enough

Luckiest man was wondering why I was sneaking about in the middle of the night too. He didn't ask if I was on phone but if he does, I'll tell him you're his competition.

That crosses my mind from time to time. I am always careful not to over share just in case.

An ex used to post here don't see the posts too often so not sure if he still does and can't be bothered check.

My only girlfriend was a Dad.

No wait.... my only Dad stole my girlfriend.

That's it.

Either way... Dads and girlfriends - steer clear of both of them!
