Did u ever recognise someone u know on boards or did someone recognise u?

if the average person on here, posts hundreds of posts, surely someone has recognised someone they know in real life, people give snippets of personal info about themselves, which if u add up the pieces, u might know them, or did someone recognise you?

scudzilla · 20-06-2015 04:36PM

no

cloud493 · 20-06-2015 04:36PM

Yes a few years back. Don't think he frequents boards much anymore.

efb · 20-06-2015 04:37PM

Yeah, I had him killed

sullivlo · 20-06-2015 04:40PM

Yeah I recognise a few people from the real world on here. And I'm sure some recognise me.

conorh91 · 20-06-2015 04:43PM

Yes, one girl I kinda know. Friend of a friend type thing.
Another is a friend who is a social justice warrior gone mad on a pc brigade, but wouldn't give a tramp the steam off his piss in real life:D

Ah no just kidding.
I'm not kidding.

Yah I recognised one. I was friends with the poster boyfriend. It was strange as she used talk about him saying they were in a stable relationship and expecting a baby. He was telling me he was only with her because she was pregnant, he wasn't going to stick around etc. They are still together but I'm no longer friends with him. I feel sorry for her really.

Don't be sorry for me, I got rid of that pri*k and sold the baby for a fortune. Everything worked out just great!

harry Bailey esq · 20-06-2015 04:47PM

I use my real name on here,so yeah,probably.

kneemos · 20-06-2015 04:49PM

I lik 2sav Leters 2.

20-06-2015 04:50PM

Yup,

Twice

I'm easily found....

Doyler92 · 20-06-2015 04:51PM

I got kicked in the face recently and I thought it was too much of a coincidence to be from Boards.

Eugene Norman · 20-06-2015 04:51PM

How much information does the average poster ever give, except where they're living and maybe age?

mocha please! · 20-06-2015 04:54PM

It's happened me a few times yeah, I've been both the recogniser and the recognisee.

I don't make any particular attempt to keep myself anonymous on here so I don't really care if someone I know recognises me. If I recognised someone I knew, I'd probably not let on to them unless I thought that they recognised me too!

Grayson · 20-06-2015 04:58PM

Someone sent me a message asking me if I was a particular person from a particular place. They were bang on. They recognised me because over 10 years ago I used the name Grayson when playing a computer game in their house.

A few people involved in Limerick FC might know who I am alright, from my posts in the thread in the Limerick forum.

beks101 · 20-06-2015 06:04PM

I'm sure a few have recognised me & are just keeping the head down. My sister saw me browsing on the home PC a few years ago & I think a good friend of mine from college frequents a different forum.

I've divulged a bit of personal info over the years, wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to put two and two together.

Ive recognised a few acquaintances from the various photo threads over the years, but haven't lived in Ireland for a good few years so the amount of people id know about the place would be limited

*Awaits PM from my sister

Ruu · 20-06-2015 06:06PM

Was sitting on the bus and heard 'fuck, just got banned from After Hours!'

That's when I was mobile modding. :cool:

fussyonion · 20-06-2015 06:09PM

I've never recognised anyone from Boards and I've never had anyone tell me they recognised me, but if they did, I would deny it!

Into The Blue · 20-06-2015 06:09PM

Why the need for secrecy?

Miaireland · 20-06-2015 06:11PM

I have recognised people from another forum board (long shut down), despite the fact they use different names.

Sugar Free · 20-06-2015 06:11PM

I've put in enough deliberately misleading information over my 1000 or so posts to hopefully prevent the casual sleuth from recognising me.
A dedicated person who has a hint of who I am to begin with may have better luck.

The only people I've recognised as such are from photo threads, rather than posts.

Sunnyisland · 20-06-2015 06:17PM

I know someone from here. don't know if they know i know I know them.

Standman · 20-06-2015 06:21PM

I saw that lad Galvasean at the cinema once. It was at that moment I realised that I spend too much time on boards.

Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius! · 20-06-2015 06:22PM

My sister uses Boards too, she didnt know who I was until I told her my username.

Hi sis!

blinding · 20-06-2015 06:23PM

There are known ..knowns
and known…unknowns
and unknown ..unknowns

No ..I don't know any of the unknowns !

A few years ago boards did a love match calculator where they gave you your top ten potential matches from boards users, it was just a bit of fun. Anyway it turned out my number one match was my married next door neighbour at the time! I recognised him from an advert he had placed on adverts.ie which was linked to his profile in which I could see a picture of his back garden and mine on his listing and he had his name.:)
I never mentioned it to him obviously and I continue to hope he's never recognised me because I quite like this anonymity lark.:)

Pity though really - kind of like a ride in the bank and not too far to travel
