It seems, the users here are plotting the triumphant return of the hippie community.
Love and Peace and all that jazz...
I don't know if the gloomies will be very happy, with this development.

There's always room for gloom. Maybe they could compromise and become gloomy hippies? "Give doom a chance, man!"

Has anyone met someone off of a forum IRL(that you didn't already know beforehand)? Two for me, both friends I made during high school in the early 2000s. One I rented a room from for a summer in Arizona, though the heat and lack of knowing anyone else there scared me off back to Oregon. The other friend I met when I flew out to West Virginia for his wedding a few years ago. I haven't really kept up with other friends from way back when unfortunately, now that I have the means to save up and go visit people.

None, people from my country rarely ever use international forum.

No. I have not. I probably never will unless we have a close connection.

Nope, never. The few italian users on this forum probably live far from where I am, and even though they don't, I'm not interested.

 

[Deleted member 7989]

Nah, never met any of my online friends irl. Trying to go see one of my homies that I've been talking to for like 11 years now though. That's my best friend so I gotta sometime. Trying to set that up with our entire friend group. Hopefully this job I'm supposed to be doing soon will give me a good boost so that I can start saving up for the trip.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

No, From what i can gather from users of my country(talking about rain and cold), I suppose they live near the south pole, and I live towards the center. I do visit the south rather frequently, as I hate the Hot and dry weather here.
Gloom is needed, To much sugar and I end up needing the whole "Purification ritual".

Only once. A friend I made online lived one state away from me and happened to have family he visited semi-regularly in the same town as me. We linked up to play games in person a few times.

Can't say I have, though there was one friend group where most of us did video calls on Skype for a while. Closest I've ever gotten so far anyway. ​

I met one of my best friends for life via Newgrounds. We knew each other exclusively online for 8 years before he moved up to where I live to study together. Now he lives down south again but we still chat almost every day.

I mean I would actually love to make super close friends online and meet someday, but I'm so cautious. Lol. The internet is a scary place.

yeah but creeps can be anywhere sadly. being extra cautious can leave you very alone in my experience

I agree. I mean I have a few friends irl. I enjoy mostly being alone though. When I feel like I'm getting too attached to online friends, I start to distant myself. I wish I wasn't like that. I guess because past experiences ruined it for me. It's hard for me to come back out of my shell with that, but I am trying.

Eh, we all have some type of trauma, I don't think you are bad for that. It's hard to get over fears. It won't just "go away." Maybe some day you'll be able to work on that, but don't push yourself too hard. It's not worth doing something that's gonna make you uncomfortable either. Me? I just have problems and I can't relate to people. Probably a side effect of the Autism or something.

I once met all my Final Fantasy 14 raid team members irl during the 2023 FFXIV Fanfest convention. I had been raiding with them for about 8 years at that point. It was strange hearing their voices coming from actual bodies LOL. It took awhile for me to realize their voices were actually theirs, mostly when I listened without looking at them
