Yeah, a lot of us have met up before. So if a few of us seem more familiar with others, it's not just because we've been here for forever. :-D

Forum meetups were very much a thing among the group who are now on PJ (many of whom are now paired up in RL), arranged by having a thread here in the forum. I tend to see the RL meetings that happen among people still here as a residue of that - but that may be unfair, as I know that some of the people that May has met were not around at that time, and I should stop thinking that way.

Ahh. I guess I'm too new.

The last "meet-up" that happened with people here, I'm guessing, was GenCon? But that's because several of us were planning on going anyways. I remember proposing it on PJ, but the majority went said no because Indianapolis and nerd conventions are boring or something. But before that I think the last big one was San Francisco and that was...2?...years ago.
Honestly, sometimes I found the really large scale ones a little inconvenient. They were always in a major city (Toronto, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, NYC), so travel and rooming was expensive unless you got to stay with a forumite who lived there. I love meeting people, but it's too just so expensive. But if some of you guys want to meet people, totally try to meet people! All of the meetups I've been to have been quite pleasant and I can definitely say I've made some good friends because of this place.

I'm 100% in favour of meeting anyone who it's logistically possible for me to meet! Of the people I met up with this summer, four were people I'd met back in the PJ days already and some were new - Zing, Jwhouk, CardinalFang (a PJ person who I hadn't met before) and Redball. It's true that the PJ days' meetups were what made me comfortable with meeting internet people, though. I've also met people from my midwifery forum. Nary a one has ever tried to murder me in my sleep!
