Do you know people on boards

I probably know people on boards but dont know who they are

I know 4 people. I knew all but 2 of them beforehand.

Terry · 23-11-2008 12:19AM

I know a few people. Wouldn't exactly call them friends though. More acquaintances.
Hi Foxy, Neil, Mark's brother (Can't remember your name right now) and the fourth person who I can't remember either.

I knwo two people, yet everyone is able to quote everything i say here in real life, so there's a snitch somewhere...

The people I have met on boards so far are through the cycling forum (plug-plug). All really sound chaps and ladies, all very helpful when it comes to our common interest and we even got matching jerseys made

I was gonna go along to the singles meet next week in Doyles, dont think its possible to meet someone I wouldn't get along with on boards!

Its funny, even 5 years ago the idea of meeting people "over the interweb" would have conjured images of 50 year old men posing as young girls, but now its probably as good a way as going to a pub.

I suppose the cross-bar would be the big giveaway.

The cycling is just a front, its really the sexy parties we all show up for

Yup know people before they came on boards and actually know people in person from boards.

Haven't actually met anyone in person through boards, but I tend to see a few people around who I recognise from Boards :cool:

I do have one real life friend who posts here only very very very occasionally and just on the one forum.

Faith · 23-11-2008 12:04PM

I thought I didn't know anyone on boards, then someone I know spotted my picture in KYN and pm'd me. Then it turned out my boyfriend is on boards too (cue panic and deleting loads of posts when I found that out!). So two people. I've never met anyone through boards though.

Doctor DooM · 23-11-2008 12:06PM

I know a few people from Real Life (Now in HD) on boards and made loads of new friends here too.

Don't know anyone personally or have never hooked up for beers with anyone here. I have had moderate success with scoring on Facebook and My Space. Admittedly some were absolute losers with profiles so faked but with others I have been pleasantly surprised when I met them in the flesh and we had something on the regular. This w/end I had an unbelievable time with someone I met through a Facebook application not too long ago. Pity Boards doesn't have such a service :-(

Are you the one who had the facebook chick in his house and were posting on boards about it?
Did you score?

Too many and some are not worth mentioning! :pac:

af_thefragile · 23-11-2008 02:13PM

I probably know people in here but prefer to keep my identity a secret

I have no friends.

KnifeWRENCH · 23-11-2008 02:22PM

I know 4 or 5 people who happen to be on Boards, but I knew them all beforehand. Have yet to meet anyone through Boards - I never go to Boards events due to my being an unsociable bastard in real life.

Know a fair few people from boards, 99% of them are bang on.

Piste · 23-11-2008 02:42PM

I probably know people on boards but dont know who they are

I know a fair few people who are on boards, but met them outside of boards. I have met a few people at boards events too.

Real Life Friends:

PurpleFistMixer
Senor Juarez
Fobia
Meeka
Lil_Jesus
Moju

I've met Going_Forward before, but can't remember if I met him before or after I found out he was on boards...

People I've met through Boards:
Thaedydal
tSubh Dearg
Talliesin
Asok
Sparky
Sarky
Shabadu

Uhhh, probably more that I can't remember!

I know a few people from boards, but not because of boards.

Quazzie · 23-11-2008 02:56PM

my best friend is on boards.

Well I say best friend he/she actually PM'd me by accident and said 'sorry when I replied, but due to my crippling social ineptness he/she is now my best friend.

Your best friend is androgynous?:eek:

arybvtcw0eolkf · 23-11-2008 05:45PM

Ok, well my brother and father are both regular contributors to boards.ie

Apart from that. I'd know the majority of guys from the Self Defence & Martial Arts & MMA forums. Some of whom I've fought, some I've trained with and other's I've been drunk with.

I met a few of the lads from the Cycling forum (a great bunch of skinny fvckers).

I've never hid behind an identity, with me you get everything - good days and bad ~ ups and downs, smiles and frowns.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 23-11-2008 06:08PM

I know person in real life but I knew them before boards. I also occasionally see a post so similar in style to someone I know that I spend a good half hour looking at all the poster's other posts before concluding that it's either not them or else them in disguise.
