Do you know the other members of the forums?

[Corabar Steve]

Or do you see them in the same light as somebody you'd see on TV or hear on the radio.

I don't consider that I know any of you until I've met you.

If I've ever refered to anyone off a forum to somebody who isn't I've always quallified "somebody I know" with "off a forum" to diffarentiate between them & somebody I actually know.

[DJWilson]

The only person I know is: Rob (DJMaxtedo).


I also say "off that forum" if I havent met them in person when mentioning someone with something.

Interesting question.

It all depends on how you define "knowing" someone.

I voted for "No, I only know of you" However, I certainly don't see people on the forum in the same light as people I'd see or hear on TV or the radio, as I'm communicating & chatting with people on the forum.

Having said that, I don't consider I know someone just because I've met them once in the flesh.

It could also be argued that you don't REALLY know anyone unless you've lived with them, and I tend to subscribe to that way of thinking.

Since joining this forum, I've discovered that a fair number of people who've never met me clearly THINK they know me...when in reality they don't have a clue!

[Corabar Steve]

I've amended the questions. Let me know if you want to change your answer.

[Vectis]

Difficult one to answer, really.

Whether you can claim to "know" someone from a forum depends on the level of interaction you've had with them, how often and in what level of detail they post etc..

There are some on here who I've never met but I think I "know" quite well, yet there are others who I HAVE met who I wouldn't consider "knowing".

On balance, meeting someone definitely helps, even if just for a short time.

I'd agree with that.

There's several people from the forum that I've spoken to regularly on the forum and on the phone. Although I've not "met them", I class them as friends and think I know them reasonably well.

If I was being honest, Shaun is one person that I consider a friend and also feel I know him quite well without having met him.

He did threaten to make the journey to Thomas Towers once....;)

[rob1963]

This thread is throwing up some interesting ideas...such as looking on someone you've never met as a friend.

[Charlie Brown]

I think I know Darren.....;)

Chat to Ollie and Scott a fair bit over MSN & Facebook. Sometimes Nathan too..

Neil and I have also had some late night convo's...on one occasion till 2.30am! :eek:

I think Rob & I have a good relationship ON the forum?

For all I know everyone hates me - Hey ho...:sj:

[Penfold42]

I'm fairly easy going.....do I know you?
Judge of character is what you need here. IMO :)

I like to think I know Daz after spending my weekends at the towers over Christmas.
I also know Paul/Peter after spending time with these two....

I think I know - Shaun after a few 'really funny phone calls'....you would not believe what we talk about...:lol:

I think I also have some idea of Steve/Angela are like....

...but do I know them all well enough......only time will tell.

[Corabar Entertainment]

Judge of character is what you need here. IMO :) :agree:

So far, the opinions I have formed about people I talk to on the forum haven't changed when I meet them in person: one or two people may be braver behind a keyboard (eg chatty online but a bit shy in person), but the core personality remains the same.

Do I really know anybody? Probably not (and that includes Steve :p ). Seriously, I doubt that we really know very many people during our entire lifetime.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I think I know Darren.....;)



After a few misunderstanding and not knowing me...;) :D

I only invited him for a cup of tea. :sj:

[Shakermaker Promotions]

I've spoken to a number of people on here on the phone. I also speak to some via Facebook as well. All of those people and they know who they are...I would class as decent people.

Of course, there is the other side of the coin too and I don't communicate with that side.

You must come to a show or a meet Gary. :beer1:

[Corabar Steve]

CRS on Sunday maybe?

[Corabar Entertainment]

:agree:

There's a few forum members that I haven't met that it would be great to see out and about once in a while, and Gary's definitely one of them. :thumbsup:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

CRS on Sunday maybe?

And you'll be pleased to know I'm not there. :(

Maybe one day I will....hide the buffet!

Yeah, Darren's pretty cool in real life, bejesus, he'll even let you buy him a beer :D

Although I think I owe him 5 at the moment ........ yet to be confirmed

[Excalibur]

Ooooooh such a difficult question to answer. :confused: :confused:

All I can say is that I've formed opinions of many folk on here, and in pretty much every case, when I've met them they've turned out to be nicer folk and better friends than I could possibly have hoped for. I have not yet met anybody off here and had to revise my opinion of them for the worse. ( Even Rob!! :eek: :D :D :D )

I'll have to reread the options, and see if I can choose one.
Chosen. I appear to be modal.;) :D

[Kernow]

I suppose the question now for us all is, who would you like to meet from the forum that you haven't already ?...............but I guess thats another thread ?? ;)

[Charlie Brown]

After a few misunderstanding and not knowing me...;) :D


That's only because we are so alike (apart from the 72 year age gap on your behalf ;)

We only argue because we sort of know we can - I know that any disagreement I have with you, sooner or latter we will be cool. :)

Like father like son, I suppose. :eek: :beer1: :D

[Charlie Brown]

.but I guess thats another thread ?? ;)

I would love to meet you - even see a picture of you...I look at your avatar and I rattle my brain as to what you must look like.

All I know is - very very kind man from Cornwell...hang on, are you a man? :sj:

Hey Kernow,
