Have had a few accounts. It looks flaky for sure but some people read waaaay too much into it - coming to all sorts of conclusions about mental health and so on. It can really be just as simple as wanting to stay off Boards for a while or just feeling like a new account. Boring reasons.

.

People are getting more wary about what they put up online these days.

Closing an account can erase a lot of embarrassment for some.

I swear to God lads since they moved a lot of the crazy stuff into that new forum there's a lot more warmth around AH, now that you don't have to look at endless threads bashing whole sectors of society. People going for beers, getting misty eyed about the past 'n all

ILoveYourVibes · 13-08-2019 12:14am

I can't really remember posters. Its all like one big poster. I get them mixed up.

I really can't keep track of people. Even people who post more than I do.

I am baffled by people who can remember what a certain poster posted two days back or two years back.

More than you? As Victor would say, I don't believe it!

Fantasists are often easy to spot early on in their postings but it’s difficult to prove anything and people get sucked in by their personas pretty easily. Amazes me how long some of them lasted though.

Karoma was a great mod of AH back in the day. Had a lot of time for him.

I wouldn't mind going to one. I'd love to put some faces to names.

If I lived in Dublin, I'd be to the next one!

I’ve probably posted more here in the past two weeks than in the past two years. It’s great to have all the hate cornered in one place.

Yeah that's made a great difference. The Forum is probably better now than it has been since maybe 2013?

Great gas trying to remember all the old names. Even better with a few glasses of Lidl's finest Pinot circulating my corrupted liver. Goodnight a bhuachaillí. Hic.

Yeah, it's great to have all the eye cancer - well most of it - cordoned off. I think it's improved the place again, for a while there AH was very grim and angry.

banie01 · 13-08-2019 12:29am

Other posters I actually miss.
Gran Hermano! (R.I.P)
Corinthian
Axel rose
Biggins
Ruu
Sasha fierce
Sam34
Muise
CaraMay
Lorreli
Irish Chris.
Greenman and RimaNTSS

TBH there are so many poster's you build a rapport with that naming any really feels like you are leaving people out :eek:

Then there are the weird stalker re-regs that change their account every few months, and then hit you with PMs from the new alt.
Just was a weird experience that went on for far too long

I've only had the one account in all my time here.
Boards and a few very good posters carried me through some tough ****, was and is a sounding board for a lot of stuff for me, that I'll always appreciate.

Have come close a few times over the last few months to closing my account but I'd rather brazen it out

You have nearly 5000 posts since May. Though personally I have no idea who you are.

Agreed!
The new forum really is descending into a cess pit IMO, very polarised in there.

But, it has had the lovely effect of returning AH to the laid back vibe it had when I 1st found boards

Much nicer place in here for the last little while

Honey, it's because you post a lot. I post a lot too, but not in that random trigger-happy way.

Sometimes you have to stand back and pick your battles babes xx

Just popped in to make sure these two are still remembered.

This is a thread about posters who are gone or who don't post anymore.

You are very much here. I don't see the issue really.

Duggy747 - lovely guy, great craic. No activity by him since May 2017 but account still open. That's a bit ominous.

And krudler.

When I joined boards my favourite posters were eyepatch and nagdefy. Their posts were always brilliant and it's a terrible shame they have both left.

mazwell · 13-08-2019 2:13am

Genuinely miss backwards man. I'm from donegal as well but it's a big county and I think hes from inishowen direction and I'm from the gaeltacht area. But I always thought if I wasn't married me and him could be cus he was brilliant craic. I hope he doesn't post anymore because hes found himself true love and a life outside of the bog

There's only a few dozen poster on the site, we need to have multiple accounts to keep things ticking over.

JupiterKid · 13-08-2019 2:46am

Permabear had me fooled for quite a while - I did find his marital and family situation very far-fetched but was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt - but then I noticed how many of his posts seemed to contradict others of his in other threads and smelled a rat.

Why he felt the need to create a fantasy life online would have the psychologists busy for months.

I just had a look at his profile, almost completely deleted.

Any posts that remain say "this post is deleted"

Didn't know you could do that.

The alter ego, the regular poster had me fooled for a while. Seemed like a nice enough chap.

Then he started creating a whole boatload of accounts. Sad really, each one more attention seeking than the last.

Pretty much this, some names might stick in the mind, but there's no way I'd recognise a re-reg by their posts, even that 'whats the etiquette here' thread, I'd only presume one is a previously prolific poster, but I couldn't tell which...

Well, if it were an honest MISTAKE, surely they woukd not ban you.

Unless, they think you are deliberately making every thread ABOUT YOU and creating SPAM.

May I say something the new me.

You taking pleasure in someone getting banned etc. Its not really making you seem like a nice person.

I was told if i got mod action in three months they would ban me.

I previously would make an account then close it and make a new one. Boards didn't like it.I kept doing it because someone was sending me scary messages on here though. (like ten messages in one day when i didn't respond )

So they said if i had mod action in three months they would ban me.

anewme · 13-08-2019 8:16am

Well maybe in a few months time, you can look at this thread and see if you are one of the posters people want back?
