What boardsies would you bring back?

Ah lads, that Trent stuff is epic. Thanks again to whoever it was that posted the link. Just went thorugh all the Boards posts this morning and havent laughed so much in ages.

UNLICENSED TRACHEOTOMY! Trent had put the pen through the throat of the bad guy without even realising it and was doing a crossword on the other side of his head and clicking the pen! OTOLARYNGOLOGIST! Shouted trent as he suddenly filled in 9 down which related to ear nose and throat doctors.

There was a witch who really really hated men called Thaedydal.

Anyone remember Dlofnep? At I think that was the spelling?
Interesting thread about chelation from what he self diagnosed as heavy metal poisoning..

Other than that, an awkward contrarian and argumentive Bollox.

Was she Beruthiel (sp?) They were similar. I never could understand why people seemed to like them. Very confrontational out of nowhere, which OK the likes of WWM could be like that too, but you knew there was an attempt at humour there. Those wans just seemed like quite nasty people. When people give out about the tone here today, it's worth remembering that boards was never all peace and love. In many ways people are a lot more civil lately.

Two different people but great friends. At one time anyway.

I was very much at odds with Thaed for a long time - she could be so hostile to women (how "sisterly"!) but she mellowed greatly after being taken to task. Met her briefly in real life too - she actually seemed lovely.

The other one though...

A huge number of that crowd were like that however. And yeah, bewildering sycophancy towards them.

Dudess was always one of my favourites (which she knows!), as were Poundapunnet, Eve_dublin and a few more but I'm so bad at registering usernames that I can't think of their handles but I loved their posts.

I am devastated to learn that I'm not special and The Backwards Man loves all the ladies! To be fair he has always been very polite and respectful and nothing untowards at all.

A few others have stood out for the wrong reasons (Pumpkinsomething, Planespeeking in her various iterations, and a poster whose name escapes me but used to post mean spirited stuff in the TTTMYH thread - other peoples misfortune really made them happy). I don't know why TC gets any love, he may have been articulate but there were few posts of his that didn't drip with sneering condescension. He truly hated women.

I am also underwhelmed by the football thingy, it's funny but I guess it's probably hilarious if you were following at the time and knew all the backstory.

I am in an absolute HEAP reading the adventures of Trent, it's the best thing I've read in ages and comes straight from the AVB (before the handover) school of funny.

Brilliant stuff!

15-08-2019 01:58PM

Muise! She was hilarious and so insightful. I really loved her posts.

Raconteuse · 15-08-2019 02:00PM

Eve Dublin is doing great in real life - would love if she came back. Like Whoops she was driven off though by people who seem very upset all the time.

Dudess used to be way too argumentative and wound up and taking things too seriously politically... but I have it on excellent authority that she has mellowed greatly.

Ahh I dunno M. Now I did not get on with Ber after a while and vice versa and we'd not be on one another's Xmas list, ever, she was alright overall. As a mod I found her bloody good at the basic housekeeping stuff in that role. Not so many are, but she was always on top of things and put a lot of effort into it. Thaed(sp) I found grand too. I modded PI with her for a good while(along with Ber actually). She was bloody good in that forum and her and Ber were major supporters of the forum when quite a few questioned its very existence. Major Right On feminist so we'd not be on agreeing terms regarding much of that

but again she was grand. Both were among the few women on boards from early on, certainly in a more public way, so I know they got about equal static and respect there. There could be a mix of "oh a woman, wow" and "oh a woman, burn her" going on. I noticed that myself early on when some thought I was of the womanly persuasion, apparently just because I modded PI and wasn't the "pull yourself together" type. Among some of the men they were either looking for a mammy figure or out to get back at same. The former seemed to be a large part of the sycophancy Raconteuse notes. Freud all over the place.

When people give out about the tone here today, it's worth remembering that boards was never all peace and love. In many ways people are a lot more civil lately.

Oh that is most certainly true. Even on the mod stuff, for all the static it can get nowadays, it was far less consistent back then. The same comment could get you nuked from space by one and agreed with by another. Actually both the women above were pretty bloody consistent compared to many and Thaed was very much behind the drive for more consistency.

Big Nasty · 15-08-2019 02:05PM

There was another one from around that time, the Eve Dublin thing reminded me, Something Spain (can't remember what the something was), would start nearly every reply with 'Well I live in Spain and the way we do it here is........

Another one, bit of a melt actually, stupidusername I think

15-08-2019 02:06PM

I was doing a bit of digging and came across posts by poor Shpud. I'd like of he came back and all his demons were banished. Sadly he is no longer with us.

Lovely to hear! Not sure Dudess could be improved but I'll take your word for it.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 15-08-2019 02:08PM

I remember being at a beers and someone having it explained to them that Dudess was a woman. People couldn't understand how he hadn't realised it from the name.

Apparently the way he was reading it was not like Dudess is to Dude as lioness is to lion, but Dudess is to Dude as lionsss is to lion

I actually got a PM from TheBackwardsMan under a new account a while back, never got around to getting back to him. Don't tell me he sent those to all the girls as well!

She's no longer in Spain (not Ireland).

Stupidusername was one of those "I only hang around with men because women are bitchy" folk - she had her demons though, felt sorry for her.

Remember Storminateacup? Pretty sure a well known poster is her but with differences in backstory.

Dudess is the plural of dudes as ArmaniJeanss is the plural of armani jeans.

metrovelvet is another poster from yore I quite liked. Didn't always agree with her but she had a unique take on things.

Anyone ever tell you that you look like yer wan off Eastenders?

ibarelycare · 15-08-2019 02:33PM

AH was incredibly cliquey years ago (not sure if it's still like that, I rarely post here any more). There was always competition between alpha females. There were various "AH breakaway" private forums set up with childish but vicious rivalries, which would often spill over into public threads. The drama when word got out that your private forum beers might be "invaded" by people from another private forum lol. Ahhhh life was so simple when they were our biggest issues

Earthhorse · 15-08-2019 02:36PM

Those Private Forms all appealed to different demographics.

15-08-2019 02:37PM

There are no cliques on boards.

Isn't that right Britherers?

He was a big loss, so young too.
Some of photos were brilliant.

I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed.

You'd have to be familiar with the context of the post, tbh.

And start about 6 months before and read all the threads involved to get to that point and life's too short for that.

I think, like most posters, he'd be a good lad to go have a pint and watch a match with but he took those threads a tad too seriously for a good while.

It was an epic sign off, tbf.

What boardsies would you bring back?
