    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.

    She posts like a dude.

    Leah was fantastic, and maybe made up as she was a computer nerds dream.

    Hot Canadian girl with daily photos who moved to Mullingar(!) To be with her boyfriend whom she had only met online gaming.

    Had anyone ever actualy met her?

    Don’t remember her having a boyfriend. Thought she was just traveling and ended up in Ireland.

    She posted on some Q and A forum and posters were fairly merciless with her. Got the impression she was real by the end of it.

    It really is such a shame all his posts are deleted. I would love to go back and read them now.

    He was a one man hysteria on GDPR at the time, he seems to have caused the ill advised post deletions that happened around then.

    Have had a few accounts. It looks flaky for sure but some people read waaaay too much into it - coming to all sorts of conclusions about mental health and so on. It can really be just as simple as wanting to stay off Boards for a while or just feeling like a new account. Boring reasons.

    Indubitably.

    Aye, I don’t understand the overanalysing of account changes. I also post on reddit and that place showed me how little accounts matter. The content is the interesting part.

    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's the thing. He could have been one of the best posters on that forum, he obviously followed the game pretty closely and was an articulate poster, but he just wanted to play games and get people's frustration going. I don't understand that mentality. He could run rings around people in a debate because if there's one forum people will always take the bait and lose the head it's soccer. It was sad how much he wasted his own and others time.

    I think the persona was becoming a bit too real for him by the end. The borderline insane persecution complex is clear here and the delusions of Grandeur -

    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.

    So he’s right; the assholes do get all the attention.

    Is Mussolini / Wolfetone still around?

    Massive Shinner and would debate from one end of the day to the next, but was always well informed and respectful. I presences an instance when some of his greatest opponents jumped to his defence when getting a hard time, such was the quality of his posting style.

    There was a lot of talk of brummytom getting laid. Did he ever manage it?

    Funnily enough, a friend of mine from Donegal once described his neighbour (This was in 2012 I think) and I was certain that it was Permabear.

    It turned out not to be him. Or maybe it was, minus some made up details? Who knows.

    I immediately thought of someone who specifically hated Irish women (not just women - that would be harder to narrow down ;)) and a two-syllable name. Hasn't posted publicly in about 18 months but profile does say last active only two days ago. Amirite? :)

    I’d know him a mile off if he appeared again. Random statistics obnoxiously shoehorned into everyfcukingsentence, offensively polysyllabic writing style where concise sentences would do, and frequently italicised words in order to appear ultra high net intelligent.

    Preferred this before the autocorrect.

    He hardly had an undergraduate's understanding of most things he posted about. That was obvious but I guess not to everyone. He wasn't that intelligent but he was extremely articulate; which I suppose is how he took so many in and is also why people are still talking about him.

    Late to this thread but I remember going to my first ever Boards beers in 2009, in Ron Blacks (called 37 now I think). Degsy was probably the poster who stood out to me the most who was there cos he was so “prolific” on boards. He was seeing another Boardsie at the time, Pikachucheeks or something? Neither of them are around any more, but he was nearly double her age and I remember thinking Jesus if this is what Boards infamy gets you then fair fcks. Actually there was another similar couple at the time, W*** and Novella. Again he was close to double her age. Jesus the boards men really had it going on back then. Where are they all now eh.

    *think this one is still around

    Who was the person claiming to be in a semi monogamous three way relationship, with kids attached. Was that PB? Or am I getting my boardsies mixed up here.

    he was certainly articulate but there was no depth to it. He spent more time playing the Countdown thread in the Mathematics Forum that he spent talking about Finance, economics maths. If that's not a giveaway I don't know what is.

    I don't know much about Finnegans Wake, but going by what people here are saying, it was the exact same scenario. All talk and no substance.

    Hindsight is. 20/20, I fully admit I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at various stages, but looking back now its abundantly obvious what he was at.

    Starbelgrade was probably the wittiest person I’ve ever seen on this board. Absolutely razor sharp.

    I also thoroughly enjoyed Andersonisgod, yes he was a troll but his posts were utterly hilarious. Every time Messi scored in the champions league I was scrambling for my phone to get his hot off the presses post on it.

    The only poster I can think of in the memorable mould these days is Wibbs, very intelligent guy and his posts are always very informative and concise. He’ll be a big loss if he ever does leave.

    I think that’s TaxAHCruel and pretty sure he’s still here.

    Ah... yeah. Oops :pac:

    Not as versed in my history of posters as others, I really only keep to my own little corner for the most part!
