    Or have a 90% sneaking suspicion that you know them based off their profile? There's a lad on here who has the same username as on another American forum I used to post on. Found me despite different names. Doesn't like me very much :D

    Nope. I thought about going for that Boards Beers, but it would just be too weird

    Why are so many old subjects being dragged up? This has been done to death.


    Originality has died, it seems.


    When do the colleges open again?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭completedit

    Why don’t you start one, horse, instead of being the resident curmudgeon?

    Where's the fun in that?

    Indeed I suspect I've met the OP but he didn't twig me.

    Genuine question, what's the 'horse' reference to? A new one on me.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,152 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    I met a few at a call of duty meet about 8 years back. Alot sound, a few weird/crazy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,834 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Not that I’m aware of... but in all likelihood I probably did, in work, at social interactions, gigs etc... it’s a popular old yoke is boards...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,826 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    A few.
    They showed me coppers.
    The horror!

    I showed them galway.
    They all live there now.

    Run out of Werther's Originals, have you?

    I'm sure several do. It wouldn't be that hard to work out. But have you met me?


  • Registered Users Posts: 927 ✭✭✭BuboBubo


    Yes, in work.

    But I have no idea what his user name is and he doesn't know mine. We frequent different forums, he's mad into soccer.

    Vile things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,688 ✭✭✭storker


    Never. I don't believe they really exist. Boards is really just a computer-generated psychological experiment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    No.

    Pretty sure I don't know anyone. Pretty sure you don't know me.


  • Posts: 13,712 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    No.

    Pretty sure I don't know anyone. Pretty sure you don't know me.

    Fancy bumping into you here.

    I have met a few. Some have become friends, others I didn't click with but all were decent eggs.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yep. Three different times and quite a few different peeps. All lovely folk.

    Meeting some more tomorrow night too!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,737 ✭✭✭Yer Da sells Avon


    I've met a few (that I know of) and they were very nice.

    I say 'met' - I was too busy masturbating in the bushes outside their houses to introduce myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,915 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    Yeah, he had 4 ears and 6 arms and pink hair.

    Should the title not read have any boardsies had sex with/married each other? Any boardsie babies incidentally?

    Met loads of them over the years. Some in college, some around Limerick, others at events around Ireland.

    We're all just people. There's no real mystery about it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭RMAOK


    No - never met a boards member in real life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    My husband posts but on a forum I don't use.
    A former member is a neighbour
    A regular poster here is a mate, we became friends through the site


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 232 ✭✭jcorr


    Jim, if you bring Andrea with you I'll go.

    I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

    Quite a few Boards babies around. Lots of Boards couples, married or otherwise too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,711 ✭✭✭This is it


    I've met loads and most were decent skins. Some of my best nights out were at boards beers or out with friends I met through boards

    I met a boardsie 12 years ago in Melbourne when we were both living there and we're now both back in Dublin and still really good mates. Shared many a great night together both in Aus and here.

    I know at least two of my acquaintances from university are regular Boardsies, and I have asked them about it in real life, and I know one lecturer who made a snide remark about me being on Boards (but she can go fcuk herself for so many other reasons). It's no big deal. Sure most of us are on Reddit and a load of other pointless sites as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,381 ✭✭✭Westernyelp


    I met Aonghus von Bismarck when He was captaining the USS Victory during the united planets famous victory at Orion. I was just a junior officer at the time but he was very nice, he shared one of his finest Plutonian cigars with me just before he teleported off to the classy hooker planet of Vega 5 for some RnR,

    Good Guy.

    He has a point though. If people put even half the effort into creating new content that they do into opposing content, the site would be thriving


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I've met a couple, all normal people.


    I have met a few. Some have become friends, others I didn't click with but all were decent eggs.

    Which lot do I fall into Poly?

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭The Crazy Cat Lady


    yep, have met seph, salacious crumb, sammyjo 90, confuseddotcom, x paws, lou m, new home, The pricess bride, hugo, rothko, ted, persepoly, and quickbean, all lovely people :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,849 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    A guy I knew in college. He was an alright lad.
    Just a tad all over the place when it came to doing college courses and dropping out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭Noo


    A childhood neighbour was really involved with boards for years. I'm sure hes still around but I dont see his name really anymore (we're friends on facebook so I know theres nothing sinister at play as he seems good and well).

    I also recognise an old school mate, her username came from a school nickname so she was easy to spot.

    Fellow Limerick FC fan is an occasional boards poster, but I knew them in real life first.

    Never knowingly met somebody from boards, never went to any beers or anything like that, and would have absolutely no interest in it to be honest.

    The community aspect of things doesn't mean as much to me as it does, or did, to others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭begbysback


    Some meetups should be arranged, maybe a boxing ring or a cage?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Squall Leonhart


    I'm sure several do. It wouldn't be that hard to work out. But have you met me?

    Is the username a reference to the westmeath townland?

    Are you famous?? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,696 ✭✭✭Day Lewin


    One, once.
