Do Your Friends know???

What about this:

Have any of you worked out that a member on here is someone you know by reading their posts?

I haven't

Yep, I've found 3 people based on their posts and user names. Only 1 knows I found them.

Haha, really? Did any of the stuff they posted seem weird compared to what they're like in person?

Yep, have figured out a small few. One of whom is actually a very good friend of mine who posts on boards pretty regularly, but I have never told him that I know. He mentions boards a bit but seriously doubt if he realises anyone knows his username. It was funny, I figured it out when I was googling something we had been having a conversation about, and a post he had written on that topic came up in the search so I knew then who he was!

Don't think any of my friends know I post here, although wouldn't really bother me much if they did, not like I say anything too secretive here.

They do but they don't give a ****e

more and more of my conversations lately start with 'i was reading on boards about some fcker that did....' so my friends just need to get that rollseyes smiley to work in real life to tell me to shut the fck up about it.

My only hesitancy in recommending boards is when I just know you can easily get pummelled by an angry mob for expressing a valid honest opinion, very often delivered with good intentions.

You come across all sorts on boards.

Tbh, I've been on much, much worse forums for pile-ons. I think if one instance of people vehemently disagreeing with you puts you off, the internet is probably not for you anyway.

Interested in those other forums. I'd love to share that experience.

Hahaha! Get your mind out of the gutter.

Hehehe! Honestly millicent, I wasn't thinking that, I was thinking motorcar or wrestling enthusiasts, I'm digging me a hole here no doubt.

Yup, I'm building up a fairly dodgy mental image of you here. Car or wrestling sites I'm not sure on; the ones I'm thinking of were metal and writing forums.

Metal and writing? I'm a bit slow on the up take obviously . Heavy metal and original or journalistic writing? I don't want to waste ur precious minutes, can't find smiles icon, but smiling . Genuinely, what forums can you get a good key board bashing on? To me, boards.ie seems to be the most prominent in that field...smiles.

Sorry, yeah--heavy metal sites and a creative writing/journalism site. Try Metal Hammer for some good abuse. Go in there and say you don't know why Nickelback get such a hard time.
