[Admiral Huddy]

Ummmmmm Gilly and Otacon I think? Bloomin ages ago now, 5 years maybe?

Was that the first Essex meet

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I met about 15 members on Sunday for a photography meet in London.

I also know a couple of members in real life, but I don't think they post much.

Didn't you meet someone who bought something off you? Liar!

Only person I've ever met off these forums was the late Pyro.

He was in the same sports club as me when I was at Uni & it was only though one of his posts about it that I realized who it was.

Still can't believe what happened to him though.

 

[RJC]

No one yet!

 

[Dolph]

[GSV]Jase (RIP) and Crazyswede were the first people I met from here. Jase gave some poor students some networking kit for SETI crunching, and crazyswede went to the same uni as I did.

After that it was the dons/UBs of old at various donny and UBdoos...

 

[secretspy]

Met FF first but not allowed to reveal his real username as ages ago he said he didnt want me to.

second person was mac1st3 (wow what a bad choice that was, can't get rid of him now! ) only joking!

Skully was very nearly the first person as my ex (spikes) and I went up to Birmingham years ago for the forum meet but we chickened out at the last minute. If I'd had Skully's number we probably would've gone in but we ended up walking past and went shopping. lol

 

[Gilly]

Didn't realise I had popped so many cherries

I think it was 2blue4u on the 27th September 2002, closely followed by Eyedot on the same day.

bl00 picked me up from work and the three of us spent four days travelling around Belgium and Germany seeing the sights and drinking lots of beer. We'd not met before but friendships were forged during those few days that have lasted.

That was followed by Gibbo, Lostkat, Orifice, Lopez, Spie, MindYerBeak and others at Donnie Do III in November of the same year and then there was the first Swansea Christmas Bash in December where there were a LOT of people. Ahh, memories
