    Ok, after spotting LadyJ in town on Saturday night while driving along in traffic I'm curious as to whether we can get an old sin.ie thread going here on boards.ie...

    It's a pretty simple idea, if you see someone from boards that you recognise from their Know your nerds picture, you post here and say where and when you saw them.

    I'm not sure whether angryb posted in that thread - but, I saw him outside a Garda station two days ago...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    apart from the people on boards who I know and see every day/week.....
    I saw funkychicken when I was getting off a Dublin bus the other day


    Also this thread should be called nerdwatch, stickied, and rules put on(like KYN) so you cant chat, just stalk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    I was in the UCD Computer place last year and was posting here, and a girl boardsie sat beside me who was also posting on boards. Good conversation starter!*


    *Obviously we didnt speak, just chatted online

    Someone roared "Hey Sparky's" at me one week while I was in my car while going down Georges st.

    Whoever you were...I couldnt stop for you. :)

    You should have rules as mentioned earlier on this thread. Why? Because once in a blue moon you might end up encouraging some creep to actually stalk someone. Know of someone on boards who was actually stalked and the creep then PM'd her where she went that day from following her.:eek:

    WTF? Quit stalking me man.....and I posted in that thread several times, can't get to much of a good thing after all ;) What was I doing outside the garda station? You sure it was me? If this was Thursday night probably best you didn't say hello, i was stocious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭Joseph

    And I presume this person in question was banned? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Actually you will find most posters when they say angryb mean angrybanana,
    not angrybadger and I doubt Karoma was in waterford. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 364 ✭✭BrenC


    I don't see many people here on boards, pretty much because Im a reader not a poster mostly :)

    Chello people

    ah, I assumed it was me, someone else was messaging me before saying they recognised me from somewhere, never did figure out who it was .....

    Where have you seen me?

    I usually see, danniemcq, syxpak, grasshopa, sinus and jizzlord around the place in Galway.
    I wouldn't know what the other galway users look like.

    Well this is kinda the reverse but LadyJ recognised me in Fibbers one night, had a right auld natter, I've also met a few of the boardsies at meets, Thead and Tellisein and the likes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    See this is the reason I dont put personal details on the internet


    I wanna run into Pythia and LadyLotts.....rar!!! :) Those pair can stalk me all they want, fcukin cuteness personified.:p LadyJ is nice as well, along with the blonde bird whos in a photo with two other Irish women and a black one.....gar I cant recall the username, but shes savage.

    So how do you approach these ones if you see them, or do you? "Hi my names John, I use boards.ie and saw your picture, your fcukin hot as hell. I look at that picture at least 50 times per day"

    *runs as fast as her legs will carry her*

    From reading their posts Ive deduced from information they gave out the identities of at least to other boards members, as I went to school with them.

    Yes, like he was later banned, but not for his stalking of her. She did not issue a formal complaint to boards mods or admins, although I pressed her to do so, thinking it was in her best interests and others that might fall prey. Apparently he got later banned for other reasons, which I am sure does not surprise us at all on boards.ie.:rolleyes:

    I'm gonna refuse to comment on seeing Julep. We drink in the same pubs etc so it'd just get boring! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    i know this guy and i know where he lives, so i'm going to stalk him starting now. or maybe later.
    who am i kidding? i'm too lazy to stalk anyone.

    EDIT: we posted at the same time.

    Nearly sure I saw mr angry around DKIT a couple of years ago. Not sure if it is him or not though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 875 ✭✭✭Caco


    I see youcancallmeal the whole time but that's cos I work with him!
    (as you can see from my pic!)

    Dont think i've seen anyone else around except the people I've dealt with in For Sale/Adverts. Though I would like to run into some of the girls in the KNY! :D

    Yeah,that was you! You have long hair right?

    I occasionally spot people from boards in Fibbers. If I'm drunk enough I usually go tell them that I recognise them. Then I talk about loud and important things for a while,before I realise I'm making a fool of myself and slink off.

    slightly scary. one or two boardsters have been pointed out to me by a friend (who's a mere lurker, which is even scarier) in fibbers on any given thursday. cheap drink + games = mini boards beers almost (or so it seems)

    and no, my pic is not in the know your nerds thread :p

    Hrm interesting, if you've played or spectated at any of the games i'm usually there, more often participating than not. Say hello the next time!

    'Hey aren't you that guy that on boards and the... something about a church?'

    Heh, hey it happened with GarthV there a while ago, acting all smug... that was untill I kicked his ass at Street Fighter 2 in the second tournie :P

    i'm fairly sheizah at the games usually played (for shame, etc. etc.) so i'm a mere spectator, until i've drank so much i can't see the games anymore (hello absinthe last week :D)

    if i recognise anyone i would like to think i'd say hi but i'd be more likely to point and say "i recognise him... from the internet"

    Yay now she thinks i'm a crazy stalker... woo! heh.
