The first ever Boards related Civil War:

johnny_ultimate · 08-12-2005 09:57PM #1

This is a spectacularly odd incident, but it's also quite funny in a sad little sort of way. Note that elements of this tale have been over dramatised for dramatic effect, and all events are a result of utter boredom:

In my school (which shall remain nameless - it's in Bray though) a number of his have gotten less than quietly addicted to boards.ie. Reguarly, the conversation would turn to the subject of boards between us in the know, and how much fun one or two of the lads had the night before arguing with someone or whatever.

But today things were different. Today a "non-user" got a little too irritated at talk of the internet. He ranted about how we should "get some real friends" and so forth. Needless to say we were unhappy. A scuffle broke out, in what would later become known as the first blood spilt during the "*blank* Bray Civil War".

What followed is still a blur. First came the Great Battle of History Class, where many casulties resulted. We Boardsers hastily gathered in a corner and signed the "Constitution of Boardsers", pledging our allegiance to message boards in general. However the non-users got a hold of the Constitution and hastily spat upon it and ripped it up. The tension was palatable as the teacher entered the class.

Luckily, a silent truce was agreed before more casulties occured. A short, heated debate occured following school, but luckily, no one was killed.

We IRBers (the Irish Republican Boardsers) seek support from all other users of boards.ie in fighting this war. This isnt just about boards, but message boards in general, and every individuals right to use the internet in their own personal way!

Viva le Revolution

PS I am well aware that this is taking message board extremism to a new level, but hey i felt this incident had to be posted out of sure absurdity.

I, Mr Nice Guy, seek the support of other users here on Boards.ie to deny people from Bray internet access!

Who's with me?!

I am. Prople from Bray, no internet, I think this could happen.

I suggest a few swift kneecappings to the instigators of this great resistance to quell the ranks of puppy like followers pillaging in the name of all that is...eh...bray?

Someone using an Internet bulletin board to call someone a nerd; that's never been done before and found to be one of the most common instances of irony online :v:

Do you call him a nerd because you're envious of his obvious wit and intelligence that you seemingly do not posess. Do you happen to have a bit of an inferiority complex?

Right - so simply being a member of a forum makes someone a nerd? Okaaaaaay.... A bit of a stupid assumption in this day and age, considering the fact that most people have PC's, internet (or access to), mobile phones, etc.....

I would have always assumed people from Bray were automatically banned from boards.ie.

If they aren't, they should be.

I for one propose that all boars.ie users who curry pro-Bray ferver, should be site-banned and IP addresses black-listed.

Shut up. Your very willing to call someone a nerd, but you don't like it when someone calls you one.

youcancallmeal · 08-12-2005 10:56PM

What a waste of the internet....

I don't care if someone calls me a nerd - I merely asked what he was basing his presumption on. But the OP clearly has a geek-like obsession with internet forums....hence I called him a nerd. Physical fighting over Boards? Starting a group to defend it? WTF? Come on, seriously!

Ruaidhri · 08-12-2005 11:14PM

What a total waste of time. Why have a proper old fashioned knees up like we used to have in school. Townies Vs Culchies, Me Vs Hurlers...you get the idea. and I'm not surprised ye got ganged up on.

Theoneandonly · 08-12-2005 11:16PM

we cant be fighting now we have certain standards and relating to that i was just reading the rules for this board...wow that was long!!!!

Theoneandonly · 08-12-2005 11:24PM

ver a website!!!

Only nerds are devoid of things to do other than post on Internet bulletin boards. You're just in denial :v:

Kernel · 09-12-2005 12:29AM

Kernel paints his naked body blue and pink, places a small black ghetto blaster on the ground and hits play. Then gyrates and dances with moon spirit throwing handfuls of flower petals at civil war fighters as Kenny Rogers plays on the small ghetto blaster:

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

Peace out.

ahh bray is not that bad, it's just got 4 bad areas that are spreading into the centre of town.

Now, wouldn't it serve you better to do your homework instead of boards related fisticuffs?

A nerd and a geek are two different things. Pfft.

Ya can't have a war in a place that doesn't even exist.. simple as. Next thing we'll have JK Rowling telling us other fantastic tales of this mysterious 'Bray' place. Get a real issue and then maybe I'll throw my 2p in - for now its staying put in my pocket.
