Duggy747 - lovely guy, great craic. No activity by him since May 2017 but account still open. That's a bit ominous.

And krudler.

I'm almost 90% certain Duggy and myself were great buddies in college years ago. Genuinely nice guy in RL too if it's the same guy:D

Never spoke about boards really so can't confirm it completely.

People I miss that haven't been mentioned...

Jayop - the daddy of Werewolf here on Boards. Twas a sad day when he left us.

mahamageehad - another of the original crew, played my first game with her on my team and was so much fun. Her account ain't closed but she hasn't been on recently

More recently...

Virtanen - enjoyed playing with him and chatting on the PW Forum. Account just suddenly closed.

Couple of others as well that aren't as active anymore unfortunately.

Aonghus is still around.

It's like a different Aongus though. His posts aren't funny like they used to be.

To be fair, he's probably up to his eyeballs with work and kids

There is one poster I would like to see back and hope she is doing well, Penny Tration

Lovely poster

Voodoo Child, over on the music forums.

Not as if we have a choice in the matter though.

I liked Ginandtonicsky, she always gave brilliant advice in personal and relationship issues. She was usually on the money with her posts

Is she gone already? It's rather obvious who she is once she starts posting under various names over the years.

Permabear had me fooled for quite a while - I did find his marital and family situation very far-fetched but was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt - but then I noticed how many of his posts seemed to contradict others of his in other threads and smelled a rat.

Why he felt the need to create a fantasy life online would have the psychologists busy for months.

I just always assumed he was legit.
Liked to brag about his sex life though.

Penn · 13-08-2019 12:43PM

Micky Dolenz
whoopsadaisydoodles
LizT (though I see she posted above. Hi Liz!)

Had the pleasure of meeting the three of them at a beers and as sound in real life as they were on Boards.

Raconteuse · 13-08-2019 12:49PM

I'm not someone who immediately concludes "Walter Mitty" when someone posts about having a life that's way more exciting than mine. Whether we like it or not, they do exist.

But it was the having an investment banking job and four children, yet time to post in depth on Boards that made me doubt things eventually. Even when that busy you could still post here regularly, but only short posts here and there, not long missives with hyperlinks and citations.

I've never been as busy as that yet I've gone months at a time without posting here due to being too busy (hence a number of accounts).

Dan Dare · 13-08-2019 12:49PM

As has been mentioned in several posts, Dudess. Also I always enjoyed reading Mike65.

The nostalgia in this thread.

Starbelgrade and mikom were 2 of the funniest posters on this site.
I don't think anybody has mentioned bubbles have they? :pac:

Trigger Happy · 13-08-2019 01:16PM

Fat Christie was great.

retro:electro · 13-08-2019 01:58PM

January was another great poster. Really informative around the time of the abortion ref.

Nevermind all that. People with ivy league backgrounds don't tend to spend their days in circular arguments about the same old issues on boards.

I know it's not impossible but it's just so unlikely to be. Hard to get people to listen though.

I will break my self-enforced Don't Speak Ill of The Closed Accounts Rule this one time. And I didn't even break that for Permabear.

His username preceded him.

haha I loved Dr.Bollocko, so unhinged and his mod warnings always gave me a laugh

I think the only time my spidey sense would start tingling was if someone started going on about their nubile young early twenties wife and their idyllic life of raising half a dozen young children together, while earning big bucks being a shithot financial genius down in a version of The American Deep South that'd be too corny for even the Grand Ole Oprey.

Funny thing about Permabear was how so many people got sucked in by his fantasies, he had a cult following there towards the end. I just couldnt square a wealthy hedge fund owner spending most of his days posting on boards, it didnt add up.

Still miss Gran Hermano (RIP), Runtothehills was gas for the mad conspiracy posts. Miss Whoopsie and Gordon too.

Neyite · 13-08-2019 03:05PM

It's really nice reading this thread and remembering the usernames that were around back when I first discovered boards.

What boardsies would you bring back?
