That’s him. I remember his photo being posted over there when it happened. Didn’t he write for a fanzine or something?

I'm getting stuck now in the facinating story of Trent. And I'm having a jolly good time!:pac::D

I mean, padraigg clearly can't write in a, say, conventional way, but you have to admire his enthusiasm and perseverence.
I read almost worse from authors who actually got published.

His first attempts are now 10 years old, maybe he advanced a bit and got published? There is always a market for such like.

I think I'm going to visit the creative writing forum more often now.

Ah, no, he clearly knew what he was doing from the very beginning. It just took a while for people to cotton on. The grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes are part of the joke; some of them are so subtle that you have to marvel at his craft. It's a pity he dissapeared, lots of love for him here still.

Feeky Magee and the infamous "I think my grinds teacher fanices me" thread!

Ah, those were the days, when nothing was thought of adults online trying to get a kid laid by their teacher.

We all be locked up with RTE having a Prime Time special about it if it was today

There was a photocomp thread running in conjunction to it a one point if memory serves me right.

The reason the thread was allowed to go on was because Feeky admitted to mods that he was making the whole thing up

Oh, I'm still on page 1 of that thread. But if he really took the piss he did it brilliantly.
In that case I really like to know where he is now. Maybe another re-reg that writes sophisticated posts? :cool:

Brilliantly done. I remember thinking "What the heck is this Trent circle-jerk?" and then finding out about the thread so having a read. Totally rolling my eyes initially (which was the exact aim ) and buckled after a few posts. Also reading other people reacting with "wtf" and slating how badly written it was... and then the realisation dawning on them too.

Oh go on, put me out of my misery. It was before my time. What was he doing?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

I'd like to think padraiggg is now pretty well established in writing for a living in some capacity and lives in fear/anticipation of someone linking him to that masterpiece.

I think Trent did actually have a Twitter for a brief moment a couple of years back and it seemed like it was the man himself.

I hope that's true because even by my standards that would be a very deeply sad dream to have had.

Yeah, it's a great moment when people get it. And what makes it funnier is that he just keeps posting away in faux innocence, not altering anything. There's one joke involving the incorrect placement of quotation marks in a story of his that made me really admire the lad's style. Good luck to him, I hope he's still around here somewhere.

You'd defintitely miss Padriaag and the adventures of Trent. Just the way that thread goes is beautiful. It was in the Creative Writing forum and after his first few installments the regular posters there were resisting the urge to call him an outright troll. Then the next few instalments of Trents adventures came along and it turned into an absolute barrel of laughs, even when I read it now Im still splitting myself laughing. Plus he gave us the word SKRKK

He posted readings on YouTube at one stage

I never cared for Mikom. He always came across as a massive stoner with questionable politics. Met him at a BEERS once and he was quite aggressive and, well, his personal hygiene left a lot to be desired.

No it started before then definitely. That's another one of the accounts though - she would post about it from a few accounts at the same time, and have unreg accounts too. You can see actually four of the names of the sisters viewing that profile.

You can get it from the start.

Leave us alone Trent!” The women said. Perhaps it was because the were angry at him for something he had done in the past, a long, long time ago. Or perhaps it was because he was holding a gun at them!

Ahhaa ha ha.

Possibly my favourite line from the whole story.

The guy did start a twitter and I think was trying to compile the whole thing into something publishable but it's one of those things that really suits the strewn, episodic format of online forums.

People are often wanting for padraiggg to return but if it's run its course, it's run its course.

Where are all the stoners gone? Was it a recession thing - getting high and spending your days on the internet moaning about water charges?

I haven’t been here before, so don’t have any nostalgic memories of a username. Pintman is still around, and is a fella I find myself agreeing with most of the time.

There was a few fans of Mong the Merciless too. They used to get really upset when their golden boy caught a bit of flak.

I remember something along the lines of a guy being in a state about being overcharged and about the way the butcher looked at him or something.

Some people think GDPR will help them tippex over anything they've ever posted online. "I have a right to be forgotten".

That's simply not true.

For one thing, GDPR Article 17 can do nothing about people remembering epic posts (as seen in this thread several times).

Also ... there's no solution (as yet) for internet archives like the Wayback Machine that will hold copies of boards threads / pages

Exhibit (a) == a boards.ie page from 2001 talking about cool sigs (random pick)

https://web.archive.org/web/20010211163608/http://www.boards.ie:80/bulletin/Forum1/HTML/001466.html

Exhibit (b) == a more recent boards.ie page talking about GDPR.

I confess, I like this one for the subject matter ... there's a delicious irony in how this site archived posts from a person who was so determined to be forgotten.

I agree with this post.
Didnt she leave after she made accusations about some mod(still here) filming her legs at a boards beers?
There was a lot of questions but she didnt want to answer or take it further.
And then gone.

Ah lads, that Trent stuff is epic. Thanks again to whoever it was that posted the link. Just went thorugh all the Boards posts this morning and havent laughed so much in ages.

UNLICENSED TRACHEOTOMY! Trent had put the pen through the throat of the bad guy without even realising it and was doing a crossword on the other side of his head and clicking the pen! OTOLARYNGOLOGIST! Shouted trent as he suddenly filled in 9 down which related to ear nose and throat doctors.
