Boardsies meeting boardsies

Kylta

Im curious, has any boardsies met any other boardsies in real life?

And if so how did you get on?

And if you posted against each other did you feel awkward in regards to say meeting

Haven't shagged a boardsie yet and probably never will now...
Unless my wife signs up!
But!
I have sold a coffee machine and a few other bits to fellow boards members as well as buying from some.

All fantastic people from the interactions I've had and would be happy to meet again!
For pints, Lols or perhaps even a shag! :P

There was a great shagging scene in the boardsian world about 5 or 6 years ago but then a few creeps and weirdos tried to strong arm their way in and it all went underground

There was a really decent social culture around the site up to about 8-10 years ago. Plenty of meets ups and general craic.

All just kind of fell apart as lots of the original membership moved onto other things/got older, and as mentioned above, a couple of creepy weirdos decided to use meetups as opportunities to stalk women.

Penis and posts size competitions is all they were.

I was never at one but remember them going on alright.

When boards was smaller there used to be many beer meetings or sports activities.
I went to several and always had a good time.
There are still meetups in Motors etc

I know one, however we've been acquainted long before this boards malarkey. We tend to stay out of each other's way, he frequents his forums and I have mine. Pleasant chap who is a champion debater. Would I meet some of the reprobates here for a jar? Why not, spinmaster flash is top of the list. Always keen to unravel fictional character(s).

Met plenty of people selling and buying before adverts came to be. One of the lads I bought a few bits off was a big liverpool fan and me and him ended up going to the Champ League semi final in liverpool in 2005 together

Yea I trolled some people in real life but got the sh it kicked out of me. It's a lot more difficult in real life.

Can’t say the desire to go for pints together is reciprocated, Bertie. Never had much time for morose and/or maudlin drunks.

I have sexually penetrated each and every beards.ie member whether they realise it or not.

That gives a hole new meaning to "growing digital penetration!"

RTE could use a man of your talent Jim!

Whenever I get a slightly racist taxi driver I always wonder if they post in Current Affairs/IMHO

In fairness, you and the androgynous Adrian Balboa don't deviate far from the same tired script. Nor does AVB for that matter. The hive mentality of one cometh.

Rothko

I've met up with a few before, always been good fun.

The Crazy Cat Lady

Ive met up with loads of boards people, they've all been good fun, although one ended badly, I was told to never contact them again (i suspect they were going through a tough time). I never did and to this day I wonder how they are

When Boardsies get together do you have to quote each other as your're chatting?

...and bring some printout's of gifs and hold them up at appropriate times.

Not really, but I do recall a few people saying thanks, in response to other people joking about.

I've met well over a hundred at this stage, which I think happens when a forum you frequent is tied to a real world activity (cycling in this case). Some of them are lifelong friends at this stage.

We had a 5 a side soccer going for a while in Limerick for boardies. The first night we had an extra person there who had gone to the wrong pitch, so we had to go through the usernames to figure out who was who. To have people put their hands up and sheepishly say 'yeah, that's me' when each of the names was called out was quite funny.

This poster continuously takes unprovoked potshots at me and constantly makes baseless accusations about me holding multiples accounts or lying about my gender without proof. Meanwhile whenever I say anything back some spotty geek will emerge from the shadows and scold me, the victim, for being too aggressive. This is a farce.

Bertie’s Horse, stick to nursing your alcohol problem and pretending to be a witty raconteur and leave me the **** alone. You weirdo.

Mod:

This ends. Now. Any potshots at each other by either of you in AH again and bans will follow.

Way back in the snowmageddon of 2010 I was stranded up in the Bluestacks in Donegal for weeks, literally, three inches of ice on the road and my car would not have coped..

Not enough food or fuel...

So along comes a knight in shining 4 wheel drive! Stocked with food and gas and coal... Yep a Donegal boardsie!..

They were so good to me up there. A log - cutting party later on; that was Smashey I think . Hated leaving but the landlord came home from abroad and wanted his house back.

That's lovely. You must have been so grateful to them
