What boardsies would you bring back?

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

Those Private Forms all appealed to different demographics.

There are no cliques on boards.

Isn't that right Britherers?

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.

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

I thought of him too when I was reading this thread.
RIP.

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.

Glad someone said this! Always taught the same it's not as bad these days though. It's not until threads like this pop up and you see some the names been thrown around and treated like royalty most of them where ****.

I really genuinely think far to many people try and make a sexy interesting witty persona for themselves online and all of a sudden start thinking this is actually who I am....

My favourite Permabear thread was his hatred of Irish names and how they were bad for your career. He tried to back this up with a "study" with some parents who named one of their kids "Loser". Gas ****er.

Remember when Justin Timberlake was bringing sexy back.

I was very entertained reading the ‘ I’m eating my breakfast Kate’ thread this afternoon. Very funny.

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

I was wondering when someone would bring her up. Soooooo many accounts. And yes, so many personas. In one she was anorexic and so thin she couldn't conceive and it was affecting her relationship. In another she was BBW and her boyfriend thought it was the hottest thing ever. Then she had the nost amazing skin ever and her employer wanted to use her photos to flog skin treatments but hers was just naturally like that and what should she do cause it was just sooooo unethical...

And god love you if you crossed her. She was vicious about getting back at people. To the point of being obsessed. I find that so bizarre. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat, like.

Wait til you see, I'll be doxed shortly now if she's still around.

Ah, no, he clearly knew what he was doing from the very beginning. It just took a while for people to cotton on. The grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes are part of the joke; some of them are so subtle that you have to marvel at his craft. It's a pity he dissapeared, lots of love for him here still.

I didnt think it at the time but on the second reading of the Trent thread a couple of years later I definitely felt that padraaig has to be a professional creative writer or author of some sort and that thread was just him having a laugh from his real work.

I'd even go as far to say that if it ever came out that padraaig is someone like Arthur Matthews or Graham Linehan of Father Ted fame or a similar well known comedy writer I wouldnt be all that surprised. Maybe he was just influenced by Father Ted but his writings on the adventures of Trent definitely had a similar kind of comedic madness and insanity to it.

Missy misread a comment that a poster made. Thinking the poster had a child that had died she sent a PM to sympathise. The poster didn't take it well...the original post was that his son was dead right that he needed to get a life:)

She thought the post read “my son is dead, right”, but he meant to say “my son is dead right”. She PM’d him to sympathise about his dead son and he did not take it well.
Chaos ensued. Hahahaa.

Oh, Ginandtonicsky. A very perceptive and articulate poster who I hope comes/is back. Always had a sensible take on things.

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.

What boardsies would you bring back?
