Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I wonder are there many sock puppets about ? Do the moderators check for multiple IP addresses ? I'd say some banned trolls are still lurking on boards in other guises...

    Is it still that rare for people to post from home?

    WTF? YOU'RE the one who posts up the info so if you want to remain anonymous just don't post identifying info.

    Wow, chill chill what I mean is access to the profile part the shows all old posts and threads started should be totally private unless you "friend" a person. It's very invasive that anyone can go looking up all your ramblings, if it was private it would be very unlikely a person would go through every post on the site to try find something.

    I'm after spending the last while going through your posts, they make for an interesting read, think I've nearly figured out who you are.;):D

    love the way half the posters on this thread have closed their accounts.

    Can we make Dudess come back? :(

    No, good riddance I say. Never was fond of her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,183 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies


    Funny how at least ten people who posted in this ended up closing their accounts.

    EDIT: beaten to it!

    She used to be ok, then she was overtaken by rage and anger. Probably for her own good she closed her account.

    Seemed very cynical to me, a lot of the "older" posters seem that way actually. I suppose after so long of posting and reading the same old stuff over and over again anyone would become cynical.

    We should have a boards retirement forum where all the oldies can go and talk about the good old days and spend a few hours at the looking window (pic of a field), could post a different field every week to keep them from getting restless.

    I wonder if a new account would change much in that regard. With the opportunity to change your opinions without being challenged you might start looking at things a lot differently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    Should people really be discussing a poster like that?
    Closed account or not, I don't think it's appropriate.

    Now that you mention it ......... hadn't seen her for a bit. I think she had a lot of posts .......... maybe got a new obsession :p

    Its not like she's dead or anything, its just a closed account.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Dudess probably got sick of calling numb-skulls out on their stupidity. She was a bit like the Katie Taylor of boards - nearly impossible to land a clean punch on her and giving most who tried a good hiding in spite of themselves.

    I am a jedward fan though. They can't sing, their dancing is sh1te but they are hugely entertaining and funny guys.

    (Is this her last post?)

    So you acknowledge they're shyte. People are entitled to express this opinion without being told they're "begrudgers". Not everyone wants to jump on the "I will say I like Jedward just to show how openminded I am" bandwagon.

    Could have posted elsewhere in a private/restricted access forum - those posts don't show under the user's public profile I think

    Didn't realise that she was a Soccer buff! :D

    I'd bet my life that you're a re-reg of an old account. You're posting style seems familiar. Now to figure out which one you are......

    Saying something like that when she can't comment is nothing short of nasty. I mentioned her with good intentions, but I'm sorry I did now.

    How is it nasty ? Its a closed account ffs Boards is 90% moaning about someone that cant comment. Dudess is nothing but a closed account now, she is no longer a member of the forum so saying "I dont want her back" is absolutely no different than saying "I want her back". If its ok for you to comment its ok for me to comment. And good or bad it cannot be considered personal.

    Dudess gone? That's a shame. She was awesome.

    I notice RichieC has closed aswell. :(

    She's hardly going to feel the need to defend herself by my commenting that I wish she'd come back now is she? So no. It is not the same.


    Mods can decide whether its right or wrong, not you. I stand by what I said about it being nasty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    I couldn't care less.

    This is not a thread for After Hours.
