    I was sad to see Dots recently closed her account, her username was ‘.......’.

    She always came across as very intelligent and knowledgeable and made excellent contributions in the fitness forum. I have no idea why she even left but I hope she comes back, I miss seeing her posts.

    No idea, but if you want to blame anyone for me being a mod, then he's the one.
    Also, his girlfriend (or wife. I can't remember) was ****ing sound. I can't remember her username, but she was funny as **** too.

    Eden Hazard was hilarious to read. The time he got slayed beyond belief in the lookalike thread was a joy to behold. I'd love to link it but it's probably in bad taste. He was fully convinced he looked like Zac Efron and when he submitted his picture everyone decided he looked like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh. It killed him.

    He came back under a few different monikers but always gave himself away with words such as ''legit'', ''looksmax'' and his jealousy of Rugby players in south Dublin and their perceived status with the girls. Ah Eden, you beautiful man.

    Im here since 2007.

    So many mad fcukers came and went and came again, the place was great craic. Only for I remember what it once was (due to the quality of the posters), id be proper gone by now.

    If I only found this site today and joined...Id be gone, its a fcuking toilet.

    Danny Mc (cant remember his name) was a sound lad....I remember waxing his ballbag at an AH charity piss up.

    Another mention of tomwaterford, sound guy.

    Does anyone remember that Canadian girl that went bananas and quit. Looking back...maybe she wasnt a girl and maybe she wasnt Canadian but thats what she was/saying she was anyway...either way, I liked the account.

    Mike65s closing post is a thing of beauty, though, a joy forever. Well worth looking up:pac:

    This post reminded me of the final post and rage quit by Pilsbury Doughboy over on the Liverpool forum on New Years Day, that was truly a thing of beauty. I looked it up earlier but the username is blanked so think it has been lost to GDPR. Its a shame really, it was without doubt the best Fcuk yis all post Ive ever seen on here.

    Yeah, I thought she might be fake at the time too but I don’t actually think she was.

    The know your lookalikes was an outstanding thread. When the poster eternal posted thinking it was a thread to get compliments, her subsequent hissy fit was wonderful.

    Yeah, that Frada guy was a real jerk alright. Think he and javaboy were the same guy actually. Sad.

    Dudess was a dude (of course).

    And the Thunderdome crew were basically a bunch o' lads who were in their thirties in their twenties.

    Still, at least you knew where you stood with that lot unlike the modern day snowflakes who close and reopen accounts more often than a Fianna Fáil finance minister.

    Aaah, Dudess is still among us. I’m surprised how many times she’s been mentioned as a boardsie of the past! :eek: Very distinctive posting style that I recognise on each new account.

    Was it ever proven he was making it all up? I mostly lurked in politics in my previous guise, and I didn't really agree with him but I took his "life" at face value. Maybe I'm not cynical enough!

    Scofflaw was a fantastic poster.

    I totally believed in PB and his life. His libertarian philosophy sucked though.

    Another sad BS artist. Some of what he had to say was occasionally amusing, but it was such a pity that a lad who obviously knew a lot about football was more happy putting that knowledge to use winding people up than actually talking properly about the game.

    I was wondering if anyone would mention AndersonIsGod. Whilst the La Liga thread is unfortunately very quiet since he departed some of the shïte he came out with was unreal.

    Sad thing was he could be a great contributer as he knew a huge amount about soccer if he wasn't a WUM 99% of the time

    That post was deleted by the soccer mods as they felt it was being brought up to often.

    It was a thing of beauty and deserved to be brought up often.

    ODB. I didn't realise who you were.
    Great to hear from you, was afraid you were either unwell or that goon drove you away from here.
    Although, I have to admit, I thought he was just a blowhole narcissist, not a Walter Mitty.
    Just realised the strength of my trust in people.
    Wonder is it possible if he and Aonghus are the same too.
    Back on topic.
    I miss that guy, Liam. The one who had no money but had plans to buy a house to let.
    He always kept me entertained because I didn't know if he was just a guy with notions or an out and out fantasist.

    I did not cop that poster was a spoofer, I jusy he was just an insufferable sexist arsehole. I remember he rescued his wife from a gang or something.

    I was going to post here yesterday to ask did anyone remember the lovely poster who was very honest about cancer said to myself it might not be apropriate. So posting style makes perfect sense!

    I have to admit, Permabear had me fooled too mainly because he kept all the details of his tales very consistent and in his early days of posting on boards.ie seemed sane enough.

    He posted often about their sex life in the sexuality forum, it was creepy to be honest.
    he was ~41/42 .. wife was 20, obviosuly has daddy issues - he posted this himself.


    I think a 41 year old and a 20 year old is creepier than a 22 and 17 year old for example - even though the law might not agree.

    What about 19 yr age gap?

    There was a forum member whose posts I used to stalk a bit because I was utterly fascinated by how much he loathed Irish women. He loathed us to the point of fixation. I know his username - can anyone guess it? :) He’s not active currently.

    Re: Permabear, I didn't think he was a fantasist. I never interacted with him but saw red any time I read one of his posts during "the great recession". I would then trawl through his previous posts looking for inconsistencies and errors - the boasting fantasists almost always mess up in this respect - however I couldn't find any evidence of that for him. His story of how he made his millions (making Warren Buffet seem like an amateur) was implausible but consistent. Having said that, it always seemed very strange that someone who claimed such wealth had the inclination to spend so much time on boards.ie posting about teachers being overpaid (with them even managing to afford BMW cars!) all while moderating the Learning to Drive forum. I wonder does Warren Buffet moderate internet forums?

    IMO, community spirit on boards.ie was damaged by the recession and the type of posting that went on in the Irish Economy forum.

    One positive for me though is, I wouldn't have the wealth I have today were it not for all that nonsense - during that period I developed an extreme saving habit, a form of bunker mentality as evidenced by post 27 in this thread. It has served me well. Thanks PB and Co!
