What boardsies would you bring back?

I found him fascinating more than I actually liked him. Way too preoccupied with turning everything into gender wars.

I couldn't stand him. He was a sexist dickhead. In one thread about abortion rights he said we'd all be getting abortions just because we were having a bad hair day if were let.

PlaneSpeaking, the woman who posted constantly during the day giving out about dole scroungers but apparently had a busy government job and she put this down to time management. God she seemed so angry. I at least admit I do f**k all at work but at least the tax payer isn't paying my wages!

Oh yes, now I remember her! You could smell the bitterness in her posts. She only ever seemed to post to express some vitriol. Now, we all have to rant from time to time, and I may have been caught doing as much here, but good God, it was like she was the most hard done by person in the world and it was everyone else's fault and she was gonna make sure we all knew it.

Having said that, I think she might still be around under a different name. Not as prolific but equally bitter devoid of compasion.

retro:electro · 14-08-2019 12:04PM

PlainSpeaking was the cut of someone who never got any male attention in school and so tried desperately to try and win over the advances of the male AH cohort by being as derogatory and poisonous as possible about women, and shoehorned into every post that she was a woman so she should know why women do the things they do.
She just came across as pathetic and sad.

She’d try to be your best buddy then in another thread after you ripping the head off her five minutes previous

Arghus · 14-08-2019 12:07PM

Ah, she wasn't well in the head that one.

Do you remember the Ladies’ Lounge thread that was created for forum members to relate personal stories of sexual abuse they had suffered? It was a very moving thread. After a good few pages, in strides Corinthian having blatantly only glanced at the thread title and little else with a hypothetical where his girlfriend badgers him for sex, asking if that would be viewed as coercion. Basically he was looking to start a debate. Completely tone-deaf. He was ran from the thread and it is the only time I ever saw him back down from his argument and apologise.

On Whoopsa - I fear this might get me lynched because everyone seems to love her, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of hers. I found her to be frequently quite subtly passive-aggressive if someone disagreed with her. (and yes I’m aware of my sig)

Nope, you're not alone. Used to love her - and was quite pally with her here, but she changed. I still admire her though.

Another poster exactly like that imo was Ickle Magoo. She was awesome - then totally changed, and not in a good way.

I found WhiteWashMan appalling in the way he spoke to people. There's a Stockholm Syndrome about some old guard posters though. Ditto Scofflaw. How can people be ok with such sneeriness? And as for The Corinthian... best I say nothing other than WHAT a woman hater.

Without a doubt. I hope he is actually because he’s seeing what a charlatan we all know he is now.

Kimbot · 14-08-2019 12:16PM

Oh there was a guy from Tallaght that used to post here and sell a few bits, redsfan I think his name was on here. Me and him ended up going to the Champ League Semi Final in Anfield in 2005

Good times

Thelonious Monk · 14-08-2019 12:18PM

Permabear was that dude who was going out with some 19 year old pierced gamer girl type after their eyes met across a bank lobby or something, yeah I remember reading his posts.
I must be stupid and naïve because I just took his story as for real, was he found out somehow?

Thelonious Monk · 14-08-2019 12:19PM

There was a lovely poster on foot.ie I think who's name escapes me but I think he posted here too and was killed in a one punch attack in Australia. I used to like his posts about Irish football. Very sad story.

Anyone else remember PlaneSpeaking & her other incarnations?
Such a bizarre character.
I remember being genuinely open mouthed at how vitriolic some of her posts were and then minutes later she’d be posting nice as pie on some of the more lighthearted AH threads. It was unnerving.

She had four accounts going at the same time. So bizarre. Like a full time troll.

Deebles McBeebles · 14-08-2019 12:19PM

Since its changed to boardsies you would prefer to have never existed...wasn't that paedo journalist a frequent AH poster?

BOHtox · 14-08-2019 12:22PM

Feeky Magee was Boards.ie for a period of time.
Two legendary threads in particular.

2) I think my Grinds Teacher fancies me.

Yeah, that seemed to be it. People can change and who knows why? I’m more prickly and quicker to temper than I was pre-diagnosis. In fairness, she was mostly grand. I just don’t have the warm feelings for her that everyone else does. But yes, I greatly admired her at the same time. Her personal tragedy is beyond the comprehension of pretty much anyone here.

I remember taking it as true, 40 year old hedge fund manager having kids with a barely legal single mother, ew but ok.

I had a run in with him and someone PM'd me with a heads up and when you look at all the detail together it does get pretty clear how incredible it was.

There's another poster who I suspect is a fantasist who's starting to jump the shark as well. Learn from the bear man, keep things grounded and realistic.

I'd like to see myself get back into posting more regularly. I really improved my use of language during my heyday here on boards. The ability to compose a well constructed and thorough post has many benefits which loop back into other aspects of life away from t'internet.

Agricola · 14-08-2019 12:31PM

I rarely pay much attention to individual usernames but Permabear is a name that still ires my arse to this day. I suppose he achieved what he set out to since so many are in the same boat!

Insect Overlord · 14-08-2019 12:35PM

I remember heading out west with a gang from a private forum. Must be nearly 6 years ago now. One of them is still a mod here, and one other has posted in this thread, but I've no idea where the others have all gone! :eek:

It helped me too. I blog anonymously about cancer (to be released to my loved ones after I’m gone) and have a linked Twitter account so that I could connect to others in my predicament. I was surprised how quickly I amassed a lot of followers and I think my messageboard experience helped a great deal. I learned how to succinct.

There a few similar multi-accounters pulling the same stroke at the moment.
And likely with VPN and Lithium software taking care of keeping track of them too.

You've been rumbled banie, it's the 01 in your username that ruins the credibility.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 14-08-2019 12:38PM

I don’t know if El Dangeroso still posts but she was great. She was so knowledgeable about weight loss and how to sustain it and spoke from experience. She was never condescending about it.
