Have you ever seen a boards-er in real life?
Did you ever see someone logged onto boards in real-life unintentially,
and did you find out who it was, share your experiences

johnny_ultimate

Happened to me just yesterday! Turns out Cremo is a guy I came home from the Weezer concert with! Totally randomly, just checked his profile cause he said Ben Folds was his album of the year (mine too!). Turns out I knew him after all. Small world, ey?

I've met numerous "Boardsers" through the For Sale forum but never happened upon someone using Boards in a net cafe or whatever.

I live with one. Hi karlh!

Far too many for my liking....... I need to be anonymous badly!

I've met people from college through Boards, I've had some scary coincidences where I've come across a few people through Boards who I've already known in person, there's also a couple of Boardsies who I suspect I already know and I've spotted the odd person in college or a cafe surfing Boards but they probably think I was weird if I came up to them!

Who do I know?
tribulus, Slash/ED, SebtheBum, Young Siward, kittenkiller, peachypants, Blondie83, kevin_rc_ie, Red Alert, kasintahan, Panda100, Einsturzende, Alana, Ooly, Boneless, Larryone, Seraphina, Blush01......... if I've forgot anyone I apologise!

OLDYELLAR
Larrianne

edit: i forgot dlofnep, how could i forget that madman

It would be cool if all boardies had some sort of code to know each other, if they were going down the street or something, Tbh i probably pass a load of boards users every day, id say i even have worked for a few.

Piste

Mmm I always think when I'm walking down the street/on the luas/bus how many boardsies must be around me. We should have Boards t-shirts.

Bard

No.

I've never met anyone from boards.ie.

lol That's something I was thinking to myself the other day. We've all bound to have sat next to a fellow Boardsie on a bus or a train at one stage!

Nor have I. I remember the last time I was talking to Bard in the pub about how weird it would be to meet someone from boards. It's waaaaay too scary a prospect for me really.

I've been to a few Galway lans and beers aswell, and I went on the first couple of snowboarding trips.

Have you ever seen a boards-er in real life?

I've heard of them, but I don't believe they really exist. I mean, come on, nothing on the internet is real

D

Well I met plenty at the beers, but as for randomly, I accidently met Victor in a net cafe, we both played DoD there. Sadly that place has closed down now but now I use a place at the top of O'Connell St. They have a room upstairs filled with Dell XPSs and cafe accounts for steam and battlefield aswell as others. I also know Feylya through DCU and Tyyrial through frisbee, I knew UberPixie from college

The Bollox

I hang around with a boardster, Slayer9603, and I hope to meet a ****-load more of ye at the Boards Beers in November

I've met tman and derv through sales, I know Redhairedguy, and my girlfriend obviously, other then that, don't think I've seen anyone from boards intentional or otherwise.
