There was a guy on here a few years ago. He re-regged a number of times, but was prolific & instantly recognisable every time..

He had some kind of business that involved a fleet of vans. Seemed to be into construction or plumbing.

Used to be on the Thunderdome too.

Was Degsy the dude who really, really, really hated David McSavage?

Dudess was always one of my favourites (which she knows!), as were Poundapunnet, Eve_dublin and a few more but I'm so bad at registering usernames that I can't think of their handles but I loved their posts.

I am devastated to learn that I'm not special and The Backwards Man loves all the ladies! To be fair he has always been very polite and respectful and nothing untowards at all.

A few others have stood out for the wrong reasons (Pumpkinsomething, Planespeeking in her various iterations, and a poster whose name escapes me but used to post mean spirited stuff in the TTTMYH thread - other peoples misfortune really made them happy). I don't know why TC gets any love, he may have been articulate but there were few posts of his that didn't drip with sneering condescension. He truly hated women.

I am also underwhelmed by the football thingy, it's funny but I guess it's probably hilarious if you were following at the time and knew all the backstory.

I am in an absolute HEAP reading the adventures of Trent, it's the best thing I've read in ages and comes straight from the AVB (before the handover) school of funny.

Brilliant stuff!

I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who thought this. Both the disdain for women and the condescension. And, as I said earlier in the thread, he revealed himself to be ridiculously precious too. The time he criticised a mod who actually stood up for him was astounding. I was thinking “If that’s what you’re like with people who are trying to help you...”. I’ve noticed that articulacy seems to dazzle and impress many people and much is undeservedly forgiven if you have a way with words.

Nah. I thought someone would have mentioned him long before now.

He was Pottler, Stavros Murphy, Nucking Facker...etc..to my knowledge.

I found him to be quite entertaining & knowledgable.

Very true. I'd be ok at the writing/articulacy, and I can't be arsed with that - plain English will do fine.

He was appalling. If women robustly disagreed with him, he'd say "Well, enjoy being single so". Nasty.

How you guys can keep track of who is who after they've changed their names multiple times is beyond me. I can honestly only remember a few names of people who are no longer with us and no chance would I cop their multiple itinerations.

The time he strode into the thread of people confessing sexual abuse they had suffered with a ‘For instance’ in an attempt to start a debate - I thought “You tone-deaf *******”. It was the only time I ever saw him contrite - the backlash was harsh and swift.

I always thought that TC impressed people in the same superficial way as Jordan Peterson does. I saw someone describe him (JP) as an 'Aldi intellectual' - I think it was Yer Da Sells Avon - which I thought was apt, and I feel much the same about TC. He thought he 'won' arguments because people didn't have the tools to engage with him, in reality I think people didn't engage with him because he was patronizing and supercilious and life is just too short to bother.

From a few years ago across the fitness forum and various martial arts chat:

Dragan on the fitness forum. About ten years ago, he was almost pre-SJW but wasn't, he was just a caring bloke.

Millionaire/Gerry - he was this headcase who used to go to thailand for muay thai coaching, and he had a really intense personal rapport with a few posters. Used to post videos of himself training way before blogging you programme was a thing.

Willheffernan - used to ****ing go at people who were wrong, not always diplomatic and not always correct, but had a personality.

Cant remember the last guy, from south dublin and used to do acrobatics and what not. In great shape, was all about the planche and olympic rings before crossfit made them uncool. If someone could remind me, that would be great, his posts were quite insightful!

She thought the post read “my son is dead, right”, but he meant to say “my son is dead right”. She PM’d him to sympathise about his dead son and he did not take it well.

4 real.

I feel like Homer in the witness relocation episode as the FBI agents explain to him who Mr. Thompson is.

The only reregs I'm able to keep track of are people I know who I then get told "this is their new username".

And Eve_Dublin and Dudess because of their distinct posting styles.

I found her very entertaining too. She walked on the wild side and her personal life was ever complicated.
And her rants were fantastic.

I'm surprised there have been so many who keep re-regging.

Also, I'm sure there are people who keep hopping between their multiple active accounts, especially those pushing certain agendas and the 'anti-' people.

there was a poster who pulled a right strop over not getting their posts thanked.....cant for the life of me remember the name ...

It's really a shame she's gone. Hope she is OK because she had seemed quite down the last few times I saw her posting here.

To be fair Lainey you gave her a pretty hard time at the end of July in another thread " How common is it for people to never find another half or have kids" - particularly posts between you both ( #586 and #587).

Ginandtonicsky was so empathetic, understanding and patient with you in trying to understand your point of view yet give an insight into her perspective on life. She spoke about life being hard for all of us, some more than others, and about putting our best foot forward.
Even when she was writing that I sensed something deeper and sadder in her. Yet she spoke about focusing on the positives.

I think you were quite hard on her then. Just because someone might sound like they have their act together doesn't mean they are in a good place. I thought she was actually trying to help you. In the end she just said she was giving up trying to understand, she had been so insightful and patient too. I thought she was a lovely poster and I really hope all is well with her. She hasn't posted since then and has closed her account.

Yes their logic was that if you read the post, you should thank it to recognise the effort that went into it. Bat sh*t crazy

I once started a thread in AH using an old account asking if we could remove the thanks button until it was earned, or something similar to that, and I was serious about it, mods moved it to Cuckoos Nest.

Not surprised my old username hasn’t appeared on here, but like to think I contributed to the madness over the years!!
