I am interested to know, since C board is such a large community of people, if any one actually personally knows or has met in person any other baord member before. I suppose it all depends where each person resides.
I have not met anyone yet, but you wouldn't say, in the street:
"Hello, are you Salem, or Bubba or moxarator or prelude, Cat, manutd ect.. LOL
I haven't and don't plan to.
I'm not here for socializing, if you want the crude version.
Well, I haven't met up with anyone, per se, but I have peeped into several of the notable forum members' house windows for several hours at a time.
That's creepy. *checks windows* But no, I haven't met anyone.
Nope. I do have most of you "on record" in case the need arises, however.
Nope, I even haven't met any of the people from the other forums I joined. BTW, if we where to met, what would we talk about? Everything can be said via the forum. :D
"Where's the beer?"
I met jverkoey in california in 2003. He's cool. his real name is Jeff, and his last name is impossible to pronounce, but it goes like "ver coy yen." Nobody could pronounce it. Ever.
I enjoyed his company, except he kept harassing me and made me feel uncomfortable about my sexuality.
Yeah, it seems necrophilia just hasn't quite made it mainstream, for ya yet, Bob. Maybe if you stop asking everyone where they buried their relatives, they wouldn't push you away as much.Quote:

Not to mention some of you scare me. :D
Dont know if this counts....But Ethic and I ran into each other in WOW
The world is way too big... I assume noone of you have visited Estonia :D
No, but I do know that it's a relatively small country on top of Latvia.
Hahaha, what the hell are you talking about!? I remember learning polymorphism from you during that conference, heh.Quote:

I know three of people from university, but I knew them before I joined here, so I guess that doesn't count. Would I ... probably not. It may be worth meeting someone just to sock them in the jaw though :)
Edit: Three people from university on these forums, not just three people in total :)
And you didn't say any names.
Well, pftt to you too.
Sorry. There is RichieT, of course, someone called Valt3n (who just joined to annoy me I think ;)), and a Brownie too.
... or did you mean who would I want to punch :D
> ... or did you mean who would I want to punch
For a moment there I thought I had to make you a drawing :D
Well there is this one guy who's making an open source single-player Rogue-like game with a MUD combat system and feeling who claims that a progress log and code will soon be on a website near you ... I reckon a good punch up would speed up his process :)
To be trully honest to my first post there's a few people I would like to meet. Mainly out of curiosity... (aka to know if they are as candid as they look in here, or as ..........y) edit: wow... i cussed and the board didn't like it
But I just don't see the point past that really. Besides at the end of the day all I really want is to meet shallow ungeeky unnerd people that remind me the world is in fact a lot bigger than my office.
edit:
> I reckon a good punch up would speed up his process
You couldn't be more right :D
And you didn't say any names.
Well, pftt to you too.
Edit: *punches Mario F.*
Well a few people got me curious.
Prelude is at the top of the list. I say that's all show to hide a cute, sensitive, unsecure, beautiful person. Something to do with those complex defensive mechanism that you read on cheap psychology articles. Yeah... let me say that again... cute, sensitive, unsecure, beautiful person. It's not a war challenge, really. It's just experience.
Bubba too. I developed this imagery of him as being a cool guy. Helpful, but has no patience for idiotic questions. I also think of him as being fat. I don't know why. Because of the name, I guess. Which is fine by me, mind you! Not only I'm one of those that have Oprah on his hit list as one of the most irritating people in the world, but also my wife is twice my size and that never bothered me. [/disclaimer]... not that i mean to compare bubba to my wife [/disclaimer2]
Then there's Ethic... the shallow, unsympathetic annoying brat. But I think not only he is not that young, but also not that shallow. He just gets the giggles and we don't even have a clue.
CornedBee and Magus. Magus is not around much anymore. He used to be more active some years ago. But both always inspired me for their factual, to-the-point, approach to writing. Not to mention their helpfulness (but here I have to include everyone mind you). I always admire people that dont spend too much time in the General forum. CornedBee I see as a middle age man, I think he lies about the university ;)
Then there's Maxorator... I don't think he's 14, Period. He can show me his ID card and I'll call him a liar too. That's it. I admire his apparent maturity. Even if not always we have shared the same opinions, I grown to respect this kid... adult... whatever.
These are the people that really got me curious. A few others too, but not that much that would warrant me wanting to satisfy that curiosity :)
Wonder if Prelude would want to meed that MD or rocky guy ... :p
Well mario, after reading that you shuold invite everybody on that list to your place and hold a formal gathering. It would be nice for them to meet the real you too.
Ie: informative, easy going and well spoken. ( Not that I know any peronal qualitys about you, I have read many of your threads and you seem to be a well eduacated chap who knows what he is talking about. ) But that is just a guess. I don't know know anyone on here personally, as I stated when I started this thread, but its nice to know there are no wingers on this community.
I used to be on another board, ( forgot the name ) it was rubbish anyway. Im gald I joined here, many newbies feel more welcomed when the answer(s) they seek are to the point and not drawn out.
I went to college with ober and I've spoken to -KEN- on the phone a few times, usually while intoxicated. Ken Fitlike sent me money when I went to Vegas last year, too :)
> It would be nice for them to meet the real you too.
Oh! I do have my share of skeletons too.
For one I can confirm, for anyone who may have been wondering all this time, I'm not really a girl, my real name is not wolfchwithz, I don't have a tattoo on my arm celebrating an old teenage girlfriend, and I never posted on this forums.
That's a skeleton?
Guys, I got a skeleton in the closet, too... I'm also not a girl.
I thought you were going to tell us about the time you murdered your first family, grew a beard, and started calling yourself Sven.
I met the webmaster once.
You mean, the webmaster is well...hmm...a human ?? :)Quote:
I met the webmaster once.
I've never met anyone from the boards
Then again, I haven't been out of my room for five years...hmm
Well, haven't met anyone on the board, but thats simply because there is hardly anyone from my country here..and even if there was anyone, India itself is so huge that i wont have a chance to meet the fellow..unless ofcourse he takes the trouble to come and peep in through the windows :)
That is really bad...Quote:

Silence is better than unmeaning words
Liar.Quote:

I nearly did in the summer. I know two women from Estonia who live here in Austria. When one of them married, they did so in Estonia, and a few of our group went there. I hadn't been with the group long enough, though.Quote:

Maybe it's just me, but I always imagined CornedBee as a little brown kitten with a cute little red ribbon around his neck. ... I'm not sure why, but that's how I see him.
I imagine Sly as the cool milk carton from the Blur video, but then I look at that sig and I get all confused.
Perhaps you're colour-blind? ;)Quote:

Lol yea I saw that film ages ago, Baloo the bear voiced a kitten too.

Sorry if that was supposed to be a secret. :)
Alex sounds very much like a computer name to me.
Hal, Alex... Hmm....

Come on. Be nice - we all have to start learning somewhere, even Logic Emulators! Mario, how on earth did you find/know about that? Wonder if they're related ... No Doctype here either ... what is it with site admins and doctypes?
