Well i have never actually met anyone from boards in person though from posting and talking on IRC, you'd get to know a few peoples personalities...

Hum yeah the one thing that comes to mind about you is that you ask a terrible amount of questions! And start a terrible amount of threads asking them!

where did I get that rep from?

I know a few very well and a few fairly well and others not well at all...wouldn't mind getting to know some of ye tho!!

I know the people on the UCD forum pretty well and have met a good few of them in real life. Know a few other people on here really well since before they used boards also. After that most of the usernames on the places I mainly post are fairly familiar that and the avatars that people use.

I dont think I know anybody:(

TerrorFirmer · 06-12-2005 08:29PM

Obviously while I'd recognise most of the regular names, I wouldn't know an awful lot about them.

Sandals for instance, recognise the name, and the sig, but don't know anything about him/her.

A few users spring to mind more so then others like...danniemcq, grasshoppa, sparky s (for that funny chinese factory worker writing home thread - dont ask), necromincon (from the film reviews thread) etc....

I'm relatively new to the site but recognise a lot of the big players of boards.ie, and all 5 people who frequent jazz/blues (yo satchmo).

Sarky · 06-12-2005 11:21PM

Everyone in LUBNiP knows the others very, very well. You might even say it's a swingers forum.

But that would be a horrible lie and I'd get in trouble for saying it.

When you surf on boards.ie do you build up relationships with each other, do you get to know each other's little quirks etc, are do you just extract info, vent your frustrations for eg. How much people reading this have heard of me before and from where?

aren't you the guy that trolled dance/electronic looking for breakdance lessons?

Don't know anyone well. Starting to recognise names from posts I suppose. Met one person I bought a phone off - really nice guy! But unless I was buying something off someone, I don't meet boards users.

Quiet well, recognise many users

Sandals looking for ego++;

Stop asking if you're an Internet Celebrity and start being one.

... like Pighead (my secret hero).

There are others?? Where??

*Oul_Doll_Cork* · 07-12-2005 01:00AM

I'm fairly new so I don't really know anyone!!

I find that a few people that have been on boards a long time seem to pick on the newer users! (Like they are so cool because they have billions of posts!:rolleyes: Get over it!) Those people I DEFINATLY wouldn't want to know!!!

On the other hand I have noticed that there are some really cool people that I'd love to get to know!

But as I said... don't really know anyone at this point!

Goodshape · 07-12-2005 02:38AM

I don't make any effort to contact people outside of the forums (be it real life or IM or whatever) but there's a fair few people at this stage who I've come to know through their posts.

So, in 'real life' -- very few.
In terms of forum posts -- recognise many users, but that's fairly one-sided; very few cases of consciously knowing 'each other'.

still they may know you, yet be shy.

I know the Lubnipper is an...uh...completely platonic sense

<_<

No swinging though. Never any swinging....

I recognise most of boards user names but I still wouldn't feel that I know them. Your poll doesn't really cater for that option.

ok sorry about that.

senordingdong · 12-12-2005 12:44AM

Don't bothere getting to know anyone

Don't any of 'em.

Wahey!

In the real world I only know one or two boards posters but in here I have connected with a couple I think. Maybe not , maybe I just have delusions of adequacy.

Didn't you go crazy one day? Posting loadsa stupid things that could have got you banned? Then someone said that someone else must have been posting in your name and getting you into trouble?

Could have been someone else though.

It was you.

Sandals' account was hijacked by his gobshíte room mate (apparently), though I find it hard to believe his memory of the event has lapsed in the five days since the event...

post-traumatic stress?

boards is full of great people, I have lived with a few of them..i have gotten drunk with loads of them and made friends with a good bunch of them.
Ive been around a few years now and there are new people popping up all the time, its getting too hard to get to "know" everyone. So I stick with who I know and keep a watchful eye on the rest

How well do you know each other?
