    Okay so we all live in "online" and offline modes. Does the reality match the minds picture if and when your paths cross in offline mode?

    Before you say it i do realise most people are never truely in offline mode? :)

    Okay so does the persona of online users on boards.ie for example match their offline persona in terms of personalities and traits? That what you are trying to ask here? :)

    The whole idea of "crossing paths" for an online and offline persona was the source of my befuddlement. If that is the intent of the OP, it could have been better stated.

    There's a few threads around the place with pics of boardsies in them. Check them out and see if anyone matches what's in your head!

    Personality wise, yep, this is me, I'm no different online compared to offline.

    I've actually met lots of boardies, or they've met me.

    I usually get 'This might sound mad, but are you (attempted at my username) from boards?'.

    I actually had one girl about three weeks ago who told me she was "from the internet" :D

    I suppose I look slightly like my avatar actually; due to having a shaved head, not being bald, though.
    I also wear a replica Starfleet captain's uniform (circa 2364-2370) every day.

    when i think of people in online mode,i either think of them in an internet cafe,or at home with their pants half down drinking fanta,and eating a bowl of cornflakes all dribbling down their chins,or a fat naked ugly guy smoking a cheap rollie..

    If two people on the same thread use the same avatar I just presume they're the same person, gets confusing when they start talking to themselves.

    Online Mode vs offline Mode? How many modes do you have OP? Online, Offline, Batch, Real-time, Analogue?
