One poster I haven't seen posting on boards since the changeover is gozunda.
Also remember Oldtree, used to be a very knowledgeable lad on everything to do with trees.
Srareem was a great poster. I thought he registered here as Plover when this site started. Very knowledgeable poster on birds ( the feathered variety )

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
Srameen seemed knowledgable on birds and wildlife but was a massive troll/Walter Mitty in his many posts where he boasted about his pension and finances.. Couldn't get his story straight, wild variations in the boasts.Ncdjd2 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 10:22 pm One poster I haven't seen posting on boards since the changeover is gozunda.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that Brian, I used to only see him in the nature forum.BrianD3 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 11:18 pm Srammen seemed knowledgable on birds and wildlife but was a massive troll/Walter Mitty in his many posts where he boasted about his pension and finances..

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
I think she doxxed another user and was banned for it. I can't remember the details but I do remember thinking the ban was warranted and being in the minority for it.

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
Yes that was it Celchick. I remember her prison thread. Different boards users handle cards and bans in their own way. I find its an interesting aspect of the online world. All those posters claiming the troll was a housemate or sibling, the rage quitters, the 'its not me it's you' crowd and on it goes. It's not nice to feel you've been treated unfairly or that if you were a different poster bans and whatever wouldn't happen. It's important to make a stand for yourself.Celchick wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:15 am Oh she definitely misbehaved and deserved a slap on the wrist - I remember seeing what she posted, and thinking "jaysus, you can't say that!" but it wasn't really doxxing because it didn't identify the individual to those who didn't know who she was. She mentioned that person's first name without quoting them, and a few posts after they posted, so only those who knew the individual's first name already would know who she was referring to. And that individual had identified themselves online beforehand.
I don't think she deserved a month's ban, and when she questioned how it was doxxing, Boards got so snarky with her and just doubled down, so she left.

I was ultimately banned for being anti-cycling and Beasty is so pro-cycling he makes Renko look like a diesel car enthusiast.Diamonds of Frost wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:31 am Yes that was it Celchick.

I reregged with permission (spoke to Niamh) and posted happily for a few years till running up against LLMMLL in the JK Rowling thread and objecting to her name calling - she gets away with fecking murder. Troll central.

I also thought Dorothy Lives was a woman.... just because of their name. And as for Walter Mitties and re-regs..forget about it
Re: Boards Hall of Fame
A couple of other nice oul skins include klaz, bb12, Leg End Reject and Danzy.
Everyone is very different - I did not feel a grá for Seamus at all Feck me he irritates the shyte out of me. I often felt like giving him a kick in the hole if I ever met him! But only after I'd worn meself out kicking Boggles in the arse.

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
Well this is it. It's the same as 'real life' we won't connect with all of the people all of the time. Shure even you and me Isha, no doubt we annoy some as incomprehensible as that seemsisha wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:34 pm A couple of other nice oul skins include klaz, bb12, Leg End Reject and Danzy.

I must admit though to scratching my head at the fawning that goes on over a few.

Passed away tragically - fell into canal and drowned while drunk: Pygmalion a boards classic early on.
Great wit and nuance.

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
I recognise the names Boggles and PJohnson but can't recall how or what they post. Sometimes during a discussion it can feel like all the people blend in to one and I can't form any sort of an opinion on them. Maybe I would need to interact more with them.
I would put Neyite in my Hall of Fame, an insightful and considerate poster I think.
Re: Boards Hall of Fame
January: another thoughtful mod
Black Swan has mod status but is much more of a dark horse and only inhabits the nocturnal forums
Fr Tod Umptious is a snarky character
Brid Hegarty , what can I say? All morality from Ireland's Own

Ah yes, Muffler - quiet is spot on! He happily presides over the Regional: North West forums which are in terminal decline and he doesn't like anybody disturbing the peace and quiet, and the sound of tumbleweed.
'no more blah blah blah'
Re: Boards Hall of Fame
Must admit that I have not heard of most of these, I mostly remember those with whom I wrestle. And even them I forget pretty fast due to hormones But if Muffler is as you say, then I'm calling nominative determinism ( words I learned yesterday on gubu).

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
L1011 - has had several usernames and as a poster always had to have the last word, since becoming a Mod on the Commuting Forum nothing has changed.
SPOILER:
but the fount of all wisdom - in his own mind. While my account is mark closed on Boards I have been unable to actually close it due to my sign-up email having disappeared years ago but I am severely tempted to go out in a blaze of glory with an attack on L1011 and get site banned.

Re: Boards Hall of Fame
MOD NOTE: I think it's fair to say posters enjoying discussing what they make of boards, but if you are discussing specific posters or mods, please remember that if you are not saying something positive, don't refer to them by username.
I know that takes some of the fun out of it, but it looks rather churlish and bitchy to be honest.

I just had a thought! What if one of our positive entries (of course ) was Guburnor!!
