Here is what I wrote for the 2001 Boardie Bash - and it hold true for today as well!
"Since the 'Boardie Bashes' are open to everyone who wants to attend and many of you have met new friends directly at these parties, we thought we would try something different this year! Since we have such a colourful cast of characters who post on the Negril Message Board, we are asking that those who would like to identify themselves at any of the 6 "Meetings" to the others in attendance to let the creative juices flow, create a name tag that expresses the real you! It can be anything - from a neckless with your Negril Message Board name (handle) on it to a simple sticker that says "Hi! My name is XXXXXX"! Let the real you shine through!
Also, for those who wish to remain anonymous, or at least less recognizable, once again you are under no obligation to wear any form of name tag. It is purely up to each individual. There are people who read the Negril Message Board yet never post (on the Internet they are referred to as lurkers) and we are making a special invitation for them to join in the fun. They can still "lurk" (grin) at the parties, they can meet the people they so choose - do what you feel like doing, no worries mon! Irie!"
