DL4TRU_STRENGTH Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 An in person gathering. A local forum I once participated in held semi regular (about twice a year) shindigs at a local bar. It really helped the mood & overall discourse of the group to have a first hand understanding and appreciation of the people you are talking to. Sometimes PM'ing people online and making an effort to be more cordial & friendly with people can be a big help as well (as I have done with a few of you here), but nothing makes of a better sense of respect & understanding than having a beer & a chat with people face to face. I know since we all come from different parts of the world it will never happen, but its just something to think about... I guess when you can attach real names and real faces to people, as well as have the opportunity to chat in a more direct & cordial manner, your also able to really dissect the nuance of many topics in a more succinct manner.

Jbrahams Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 well this is an international forum, people from US, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Portugal, New Zealand, Thailand etc. Appparently there have been a few meet ups in the past, but I think G-Row knows more specifically who it was and stuff because he was a part of it (apparently Dan Christison was a part of it, don't quote me on it though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirerat Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Some Volkswagen based forums I've been a part of had get togethers once a year, and BIG ones. Nascar.com forums from time to time had larger groups of people meeting up from time to time. hammockforums.com has many many get togethers throughout the year. All 3 of those sites have people from all over the world in membership. No reason this one couldn't as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL4TRU_STRENGTH Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Unless we did a regional sort of thing, and even then my guess is only about 3-5 people would actually show, how else would we do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiting Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I would be reasonably interested in meeting up for a few pints around the London area. But I don't foresee myself traveling any inordinate distance for a forum get together. And without putting too damp a blanket over this idea, I can't say I would expect many people to want to travel outside of their home city either. But who knows. I'd suggest your best chance to orchestrate a forum gathering would be a UFC event in Vegas, or some other UFC in a large metropolitan area.
