Don't think I ever had perticular users on here I really clicked with or anything like that! Would be more a case of certain usernames pop up I'm more familiar with that come across less irritating then others ha!

I spent a lot of time on Yahoo Messenger when was younger met loads off there. The voice and video features where more my thing. I disconnect a bit in constant text. Can't get my point across the same way!

Woke Hogan · 13-08-2019 8:40am

This is exactly why I don't bother my arse to learn anyone else's usernames. It always descends into people sniping at each other because they think they're internet celebrities who need to get one over one another.

You should have an option to remove the ability to read other people's handles.

No but you should have gotten a warning.

Well i don't think you should have personally but them's the rules.

But mods interpret them from personal perspective of course they are human.

Or maybe people should have the ability to hide them from all but mods to be honest it would stop a lot of bullying.

Anywaayyyy....
Didn't realise Ginandtonicksy was gone!?

Zorya. She seems to have disappeared. Well able to hold her own, not easily cowed and very, very funny. The mark of a good poster, for me at least, is someone you often dont always agree with, can engage in a bit of debate with yet still look forward to their posts. Zorya was all of this. Where are you, girl.?

Oh there was a different user not zorya but ZOYA she was lovely.

She was polish.

All this talk got me thinking and I checked if my old account was still open....it is and I have been here on and off (mostly off) since 2005!

I got in trouble for criticising adverts and EGAR. Anyone miss EGAR? Didn't think so.

I'd rather interact with people face to face. I always find in a social environment out and about your more likely to find common ground with people and actually interact.

Online most the time you only see certain opinions because your interacting inside of one perticular topic.

The cohort that used to frequent The (original) Thunderdome were some of the funniest fookers boards had ever seen.

Captain Darling
Yekahs / yitzak rabin
Sergeant
Quality
Mad Chef
Bronte
Loopy
Creeping Death

There were others too i cannot remember. Iirc it was a post from yekahs that ultimately led to the dome getting torpedoed as an admin took a personal issue with it.

Just remember, diluting up is the same as diluting down, mathematically speaking. If your scalp is burning, you're doing it right.

King of the Eyesores is another now departed (from Boards) poster. Just a funny, sound bloke that never got involved in any nonsense.

Wicknight, Galvasean, Zillah - some of the heads that used to knock around the A&A forum back in the days when I used to spout a lot of shite there. Always especially enjoyed reading Wicknight's take. The A&A forum in those days helped shaped the man I am today! (Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...)

Wicknight. I was trying to remember the name of the guy who used to argue with The Corinthian in Humanties all the time. It's mad to think how many of these posters I've read and completely forgotten.

faceman · 13-08-2019 9:32am

I’m going to give a shout out to Karl Hungus, one of the original mods of the Film and set out a positive culture in the place

I didn’t always agree with his of his views or even opinions of some films but he did great work for the forum

In a similar vein there was a chap in the paranormal forum, 6th, did trojan work for a paranormal forum.

Zombrex. Yeah, I remember he had another name alright. Honestly think changing name and the close account feature has ruined the continuity on here. You've no idea who you're talking to half the time.

And krudler.

I'm almost 90% certain Duggy and myself were great buddies in college years ago. Genuinely nice guy in RL too if it's the same guy:D

Never spoke about boards really so can't confirm it completely.

People I miss that haven't been mentioned...

Jayop - the daddy of Werewolf here on Boards. Twas a sad day when he left us.

mahamageehad - another of the original crew, played my first game with her on my team and was so much fun. Her account ain't closed but she hasn't been on recently

More recently...

Virtanen - enjoyed playing with him and chatting on the PW Forum. Account just suddenly closed.

Couple of others as well that aren't as active anymore unfortunately.
