Ever met a boardsie in real life?

mr_fegelien

Or have a 90% sneaking suspicion that you know them based off their profile? There's a lad on here who has the same username as on another American forum I used to post on. Found me despite different names. Doesn't like me very much

No - never met a boards member in real life.

My husband posts but on a forum I don't use.
A former member is a neighbour
A regular poster here is a mate, we became friends through the site

Jim, if you bring Andrea with you I'll go.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Should the title not read have any boardsies had sex with/married each other? Any boardsie babies incidentally?

Quite a few Boards babies around. Lots of Boards couples, married or otherwise too.

I met a boardsie 12 years ago in Melbourne when we were both living there and we're now both back in Dublin and still really good mates. Shared many a great night together both in Aus and here.

Originality has died, it seems.

When do the colleges open again?

I know at least two of my acquaintances from university are regular Boardsies, and I have asked them about it in real life, and I know one lecturer who made a snide remark about me being on Boards (but she can go fcuk herself for so many other reasons). It's no big deal. Sure most of us are on Reddit and a load of other pointless sites as well.

I met Aonghus von Bismarck when He was captaining the USS Victory during the united planets famous victory at Orion. I was just a junior officer at the time but he was very nice, he shared one of his finest Plutonian cigars with me just before he teleported off to the classy hooker planet of Vega 5 for some RnR,

Good Guy.

Where's the fun in that?

Indeed I suspect I've met the OP but he didn't twig me.

Genuine question, what's the 'horse' reference to? A new one on me.

He has a point though. If people put even half the effort into creating new content that they do into opposing content, the site would be thriving

I've met a couple, all normal people.

A guy I knew in college. He was an alright lad.
Just a tad all over the place when it came to doing college courses and dropping out.

A childhood neighbour was really involved with boards for years. I'm sure hes still around but I dont see his name really anymore (we're friends on facebook so I know theres nothing sinister at play as he seems good and well).

I also recognise an old school mate, her username came from a school nickname so she was easy to spot.

All the babies are called Zaph , each and everyone of them .

Fellow Limerick FC fan is an occasional boards poster, but I knew them in real life first.

Never knowingly met somebody from boards, never went to any beers or anything like that, and would have absolutely no interest in it to be honest.

The community aspect of things doesn't mean as much to me as it does, or did, to others.

Some meetups should be arranged, maybe a boxing ring or a cage?

I'm sure several do. It wouldn't be that hard to work out. But have you met me?

Is the username a reference to the westmeath townland?

Are you famous??

One, once.

KathleenGrant

I met two. One i met at a function he put in a local thread. He turned out to be a neighbour of mine from years ago. We stayed in contact.
The other I pm'd for a bit. We met and ended up spending the weekend together. Still in contact but haven't met him since.

I know and have met loads of people through Boards in fact met one of them for Dinner earlier in the week while on Holiday in Spain!

I couldn't fault anyone I've met through the site they were all sound...

The funny thing is when you don't know the person, but can tell where they're from by their user name!

Nothing to do with a townland or address.

Famous? That's a very subjective term.

I wouldn't exactly call what we did "going out".

Or describe us as good friends.

Plus, I'm not hundreds of people.

In fact, I'm starting to think this post wasn't even about me. :mad:

Well, today i have learned 2 things.

1. Srameen is a place in westmeath.

2. Srameen is not from there.

I have never knowingly met a boardsie in real life.
