    Yes,

    All views and opinions i post here are what i say and support offline.

    Why would you want what you really think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    I have real life friends on here who know who i am and the missus knows me username too. Still post as many brain farts as I want though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    I worry about future job interviews.

    Apart from that I'm as retarded on here as I am in real life and amn't coy about sharing my username with real life people (as oppose to you people, who don't exist in real life).

    Two people know, for shure, who Chuck Stone is. One is a lurker and the other is a poster.

    Yea, I'd post. My POV is usually fairly inoffensive so it wouldn't matter really.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Never, I value my privacy

    I haven't said anything on here that I wouldn't say in real life and it doesn't bother me who knows I'm on here. I have a picture on here as well so people will know who I am anyway. Some people are very secretive and i don't know why.

    Some people are very secretive and i don't know why.

    Well, when I was younger I used the same name for everything, and on one music forum I said I didn't like any Pantera besides 'Great Southern Trendkill'.
    Someone Googled the username, found my Bebo, then my name, googled my name, and found pics of my dad (same name - no entries for me specifically using Google).
    Started spamming the board with his pics, saying I was this overweight fifty year-old, and then they started meme-ing him, photoshopping him into strange and indelicate situations.
    NOW do you see?*




















    *Didn't happen. But it COULD have...

    Do you think there are any people sort of like a character from a super hero movie. They might act dumb on boards and then in the real world the could be very successful an intelligent.

    I wouldn't care about anyone really knowing who I am, but I'm not sure I'd be happy with not knowing that people knew me and I not knowing them. Then there's work, you wouldn't want them being able to check up on you.

    a few know who i am, also im a journalist and i post to my writing quite a bit in the games forum, so anyone reading that would know who i am


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    /scoots to Games forum

    Some people do (not including people I know in real life whom I first got to know via Boards) and I still post. A bit morto tbh but meh... what are ya gonna do. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I sometimes post my picture up, then I take it down because can you imagine you were at an interview and they recognised you from boards after talking about pissing on peoples faces, that would be awkward.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    While not impossible, that seems highly improbable. Look at the thousands upon thousands of Boards members.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭little swift


    its better to ly low than lying in wait and then have someone take advantage of you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    Of course you all know who I am. It is called AH in my name. Rumours of my demise in 1945 are exaggerated.

    Sieg.....(what d'ya mean its pineapple time again, oh noes......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭hairyprincess


    Yea I'd still post. I've gotten to know an AH'er, a bit better than I expected!

    I'll mention no names, ahem ahem ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭yomtea98
