Dan L Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I think it's a good idea... but one that hasn't been heard of before... let's face it, people just don't like communicating through a screen. The internet is fairly new.. and people in general just dont particularly like the idea that they may make 'friends' that they'll never meet... Of course this argument is very generalised and does not necessarily apply to all of you.. The problem with the internet, the way I see it, is that you can communicate with someone, and all of the telltale signs (such as body language and speech patterns) that usually indicate whether you deem a person sane - are not there. People don't stutter when they type, nor do they twitch when talking.. The net is a great way to bring distant people together.. but also a dangerous tool people who can't socialise in the real world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delian Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 It would be a great idea, but we all live in different countries and unless we organised a central place for all of us to go to or whoever lived in one country all met up and so on, it would be impossible. Plus some of the people here are too young to travel on their own. But it still is an interesting idea, though;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Well, first of all, it would be nearly impossible to organize something like that. Secondly, as far as I'm concerned anyway, there are only a few people I'd be willing to meet here. So you probably wouldn't find me there unless one or more of them were there also. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvet paws Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I don't know if anyone's said this yet but dobedo.co.uk had a big get together and party one time and apparently lots of people turned up and there wasn't too much trouble. I agree though that finding a location might be hard and of course all teh details will be fiddly..but may I suggest that if ever one does go forward, we try to get one in each country or main area of country eg. London for us UK'ers so that everyone has a better chance of going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiroMunkie Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 [SIZE=1]Ya know? That would probably be pretty fun! There are plaenty of people I'd like to meet from here... actually only several, not really a lot. :p Less than half, or probably less then a fourth... but ya! That's probably be fun... though no one wants to meet me in real life or else they would have said it already :p (sidenote) Lol, Navi, I had the idea a long time ago one night while I was trying to get to sleep that everyone should have a shirt with their avatar and username on it :laugh: That way if they bumped into each other and at least one of them was wearing their shirt one would know who the other is :p[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegitto4 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Well, you might want to meet your wife. That might be good you know!!! I want to meet.....LM, BG, QA, Anna, and Sexyjessie, and...thats about it for the girls. :naughty: :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 [SIZE=1]Oh boy that would be fun. But everyone here knows that there is no way ALL of us could get together... we live too far apart and some of the younger members can't even get into PG-13 rated movies without Mom and Dad, let alone flying across the world to meet their online friends. I still like the idea, there are quite a few people I would like to meet in person, mainly my digimon crew. Ginny and Cera together in real life? I can't even begin to imagine the kind of trouble they would get into. ;)[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 No I am not one of those people who look in the mirror all the time. I do check in the mirror everytime I go to the bathroom in school to make sure I dont look like crap in front of everyone,lol. The poeple I wanna meet..... Raiha, GA, ssjchic, baby girl, forte, piro munkie, kuja, rico, final flash, well i cant name them all! I wanna meet alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
