7om - I made an unnecessarily snarky comment about the big bang theory which i think fucked him off for a while, but i think we're okay now. seems a good lad, has good taste in wrestling podcasts.
AE - Positive, driven and self-confident, which makes him a good foil to the rest of us cynical pricks.
Angelsaint - He'd already been banished for ages when I rocked up on the old board, and I never understood why he'd been banned. I understand now.
Baz - Funny fucker, only just discovered the Liverpool nightclub photos which made me fucking wet myself. Bit of a weirdo but definitely in a good way.
Boydy - One of my faves, one of the smartest people on here.
Charlie - Seems fairly insane but always good value as a poster. Love reading about his bizarre life.
Chrissy - One of the nicest guys on here, hope you become a world famous stand-up.
Cord - Dry sense of humour, always imagine him rolling his eyes as he types his posts.
Dark Soldier - One of the good guys, wish he'd post more.
Davgooner - Seems like a decent bloke, one day we'll get a pint of carling at the Midas lounge at 3am.
Disco - Funny guy.
Dquincy - Good poster, seems like a bit of an oddball.
Giggles - Used to think he was just a miserable bastard, but he's actually a pretty funny guy. Reverse snob though, and takes pride in being a philistine. His angry outbursts always make me laugh.
GS - His outlook on life and opinions on pretty much everything are the opposite to mine, but his quality of posting makes it hard to dislike him. Surprisingly funny as well, which isn't meant as backhanded as it sounds. Deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award for all the effort he's put into this place over the years.
Hammer - Utterly bizarre lifestyle and I love him for it. Goes to bondage clubs so we don't have to.
Henry - Moody like John, but more weird and less angry.
Ian - The nicest man on the internet, and one of the very best posters we have. The whole place would be a lot more miserable without the likes of Ian.
igor_balis - cunt
ItalAussie - I'm a big fan, he can rip people apart using pure logic and rationality without coming across as anything but a top bloke.
Jeet - His posts read like a poorly translated content-aggregator twitter page. Wouldn't be surprised if Jeet was revealed to be a badly made computer algorithm.
Jimmy Floyd - I bloody love Jimmy. Disagree with him about pretty much everything, but I don't really care. Every post is worth reading, and he is easily my most valued source of cricket analysis and news. Should have a column in the Telegraph or something.
John - Used to think he had a kind of vendetta against me, until I realised he was just a moody bastard to everyone. Having someone like John to 'call a spade a spade' and take someone down a peg or two when they're acting the cunt is absolutely essential, and he's probably the best admin/mod on any forum I go on. Sometimes he's just being argumentative for no reason though, and needs to calm the fuck down and stop using this place as his punching bag. Take up boxercise or something. You can't just say 'look at the seethe!
' whenever someone rightfully calls you out for it. Thinking you're the only smart person in a world full of idiots says more about you than everyone else.
Kiko - Good guy, big LVG fan.
Lee - Very good poster, always enjoy reading about his work and relationship troubles. Which makes me sound like a total sociopath but you know what I mean. KUTGW
leedsrevolution - Top bloke, would love to go for a pint with him. Part of the 'looking like the lead singer of Keane' trio with me and Hammer.
Lewis - He is funny as fuck, but also a bit of a wanker. All of his jokes are the expense of other people, and he has the vibe of a school bully. That stuff works on a message board, but stops working in real life after the age of about 16. I guess that explains why he has so much invested in this place (which is more than he'd be willing to admit, I'm sure). I'll also refer Lewis to what I said to John about thinking you're the only smart person in a world full of idiots.
Luke Emia - I still laugh at the brazen offensiveness of his username.
Magic - Easily my favourite poster. I'm sure he'll be delighted that what makes me think he's so great is the combination of his outlandish gross-out humour with a sort of bleak vulnerability. Reading about his life is like reading episode synopses of a particularly gloomy sitcom.
Mahow - Absolute stalwart of the board, part of the furniture. The camgirl stuff was more worrying than funny though, regardless of whether it was real or not.
Max Power - Always very good in the cricket thread.
mokbull - Mad bastard but always good value.
Pepe - A good poster but he seemed to go through a phase of only ever posting snarky, 5 word posts.
phonics - Our saviour.
Pleb - I love the weirdo. #plebrolled
Reg - Underrated poster, very good on football and an all-round nice guy. Enjoyed playing the draft thing with him on fm as well.
Sam - Big fan, always a bit creeped out by weird similarities we share which probably aren't that weird really. Both of gypsy origins, both called sam, both love trailer park boys and frank sidebottom. Shame he's a dingle but nobody's perfect.
ScousePig - Sunderland fan, seems a bit of a grump but a funny one.
Shindig - Shindig from the dugout. Responsible for the best ever moment in the board's history. Consistently funny poster in general as well.
Simon - Good guy, though I don't know much about him. Did he go to play poker in Malta or something?
Spoonsky - I really like Spoon, he's quite unlike anyone else on here which I think is important for the place. I like to think we've been a pretty good influence on him as well. Used to try a bit too hard to fit in, but he was about 12 so that's quite alright. Always find his posts interesting.
SvN - Good consistent poster, though I don't know much about him.
The Merse - A funny and interesting poster with absolutely deranged fashion taste. Admire him for being his own man though and shit.
TimmSmiff - A genuine guy who 'wears his heart on his sleeve'. I think he's a top bloke and a good poster.
Toby - Used to confuse him with Boydy which I'm sure they'll both love. I like Toby, he's a good poster. He's crankiness and cynicism make me laugh. I hear he has a big head but I honestly think mine is bigger. Like fuck am I posting a photo, though.
Waffdon - I remember my first pint as well, mate. I do like Waff though, really. As the youngesters, I see Waff and Spoon as our Wayne and Lucien Cramp respectively.
Wullie - Easily the most naturally funny poster we have. He could make me laugh typing out the phonebook.
Yevrah - Brilliant poster, again even though I don't really agree with him about much. Similarly to Jimmy I think he should have a newspaper column, but perhaps in a more tabloidy publication.
