Who On This Board Have You Met/Know in Real Life?

[Classic Speedy]

Just a quick question. I'd like to know if many people know each other in real life on this board (i.e. they've met in person). The only ones I know that knew each other were Conekiller and shogunthethird.

I haven't met anybody personally, but maybe I'm not just "in the loop".

[Beguiled]

uhm.....i met toss at school and she told me about this sight and now i'm here. and toss knows rinie and remy so i bet i'll know them in person sooner or later! :anime:

[Peter Paltridge]

Nope, never met anyone here. Several are from the same city I'm from, but still no.


98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature.
There's an inflated figure....

[Juu-kuchi]

I haven't met or know anybody from this board in real life. There's one person that lives in the city where I go to college in, but it's not like I know the person to the point that I would say "Hey, you're in the same city as I. Let's meet or something."

Oh and for the record it's Mekairinek.

[MAXIMUS]

I Know TimTwoFace Lives in or around the same city as myself...;)

[Matthew Williams]

A couple of people, actually. I've met Brian and Harley a couple of times here and I've laos met Clayface.

[Spike Mcdougal]

Forgive the interuption but Matt why is Shockmaster your avatar?

[cross blues]

I haven't met anybody personally, but maybe I'm not just "in the loop".
heh... don't feel bad. I don't think there is a "loop". I haven't met anyone either. I respect everyone here, but I wouldn't go so far as to call anyone my friend. I'd have to know someone WELL to consider meeting.

[Tapout]

I don't think there's a "loop" here either. Unlike the other message board I frequent. It seems everyone there except me and two or three others lives in either NYC or the Bay Area in CA. They all know each other.

[Nightflower]

The only person I met is Inque, who used to post here. I met 10 people separately from another board I used to frequent though. I think the problem is that we all live so far from each other (Or at least from me. I'm from Canada, eh?)

[Jave]

No one. And I doubt I ever will, no because I don't want to, but because I live so far, far away...

[Matthew Williams]

Forgive the interuption but Matt why is Shockmaster your avatar?
because he's the greatest wrestler of all time.

[True Noir]

Nope, I haven't met anyone, but I know that Sigma lives around some place close.

[Czar Gato]

No one, although I know of several people who live in the DC area like me. I think someone mentioned they live in Woodbridge, which is 15 minutes from me.

[Cartman]

I haven't met anyone on this board either. Nonetheless, I have seen photographs of a few people who frequent the TTTP. I also saw Nelson Hughes in an interview about Speedy Gonzales.

[Eddie G.]

No one really. But I've talked to a ton of people on AIM. We should have a convention... at my house.

[SirLemming]

Pretty sure I haven't.

[Sumi_Masen]

Umm... let me think.. Watagashi, atari_14, Tootlez, and CoolBlue. They're my best friends, so of course we've met. And I've met ZorBrak once before as well. :anime:

[JohnCrichton]

Former member CaptainYurika is someone I talk to everyday, animebabe is one of my best friend's fiance, and I also met TylerL once.

[Mr. Pedro]

I don't believe I've ever met another TZ'er in real life (including my fellow Floridians). I might be able to find some of you folks if I tried but alas, motivation is hard to come by these days.


No one really. But I've talked to a ton of people on AIM. We should have a convention... at my house.Nice idea, but I'm afraid we're all too spread out along the globe to get even a fraction of everyone at the same place. Maybe if it were done along regional or by state basis (a la TZ Con Northeast, TZ Southeast, TZ NY, TZ Cali, TZ U.K, ect) then maybe something could happen with respect to geography. Still, getting all California delegates in the same place would be a logistical pain.

OT: I used to live in Brooklyn, and I still have a good amount of family living there. I might be able to make it to Blue Wolf Con if it's a holiday. :D

OOT:The Shockmaster IS wrestling. :cool:

[Eddie G.]

OT: I used to live in Brooklyn, and I still have a good amount of family living there. I might be able to make it to Blue Wolf Con if it's a holiday. :D
Blue Wolf Con is every day, but December 8th Scott Kurtz is doing a signing near my bathroom while artist Jim Lee will be selling some of his artwork in order to raise money for me to get Simpsons Season 4 on DvD. Seriously though it does seem like there are a lot of TZers in the North East, so having it in the Tristate or PA wouldn't be that bad an idea and then again we can have multiple regional TZcons.

[ToOn~g@l]

I have never met anyone on this site and I think I'm one of the very few who live in Colorado. The closest people I can think of that are near this state are TucsonCoyote and Purplehairedwonder. And I wonder why there are more eastcoast members?

[HumanoidTyphoon]

...Seriously though it does seem like there are a lot of TZers in the North East, so having it in the Tristate or PA...You can all come to my house. Seriously.


I've known 2 TZers. A friend showed Toon Zone to me and another friend. He quit coming though because he said he shouldn't have to wait till halfway thorough a show before it gets cool and got in arguments with people. My other friend just lost interest.

There are a couple people I think would be interesting to meet with if TZ con ever actually happened.

[TimTwoFace]

One person that lives in my region, though there are a good handful I'd like to meet, as well. :)

-Tim

[Xfox]

I always thought it would be cool to meet people I know from message boards, but I wouldn't go out of my way to suggest meeting up or anything. I don't think anyone here lives that close to where I live anyway.

[Eddy]

There is a slight possiblity I've seen some people from Toonzone, if they live in New Jeresy. But I don't really know any of them in real life.

I have chated with some on AIM, but that's about it. Although, Samurai Karasu and I have chatted using AIM's voice feature before.

[GCFyouthcamper]

Personally, I for one would love to meet a TZer. But I'm in the Philippines and so far I don't know any of you guys who are in my remote vicinity. Katgirl and Lightshadow might be from my country but they don't live there.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

One person that lives in my region, though there are a good handful I'd like to meet, as well. :)

-Tim
Can't wait. *heart* :p

I wanna meet a lot of you. One of these days, I plan on meeting Dr. Octopus. My parents frequent Belleville (Ontario) like crazy and she doesn't live that far from Belleville.

[The Guitar Slayer]

Let's see. I've met one poster who is my friend's brother, Taylor. I forget his screenname on here. Before I went off to England for this semester, I met up with Inque (former poster) and Outlander00. About the same time, I managed to call catz (another former poster) as well as redDragon. I had planned on meeting up with Bleu Unicorn, but she couldn't hitch a ride down, unfortunately. Lots of fun on the phone. Since coming over the pond, I've managed to meet SJJ and Salvore. There's a possibility that I might meet up with Kylewayne over the summer, depending on where we spend our individual vacations.

[sun]

Although i never met anyone, I got a real written letter from a toonzoner..Most of the people here are very good people, we bridge the gap from teenager to much older..In general, there is common respect here, not found elesewhere..I would love to meet and see some of the people I communicate with..I did have a chance to meet someone once and blew it..my fault..A real fine person, who I just didn't follow thru on...maybe next time..I hope that everyone hangs in there during these difficult times, and sticks with the zone..Stuart:)

[WingZombie38]

I met Outlander once. Fun times. We went to the museum, had pizza [remember the extra free pizza? :p], and went to the seaport. A really nice time for someone like me who is always cooped up. :)

[guinaevere]

Ayato, the president of my local anime club is here on rare occasions. I've also met Knux Five as I ravished his comic shop.

I was hoping to meet up with Emerald Archer in DC, but he decided that last week would be a great time to get very sick. :sad:


Similar to oldtoonguy correspondence, I sent sumpin to, and recieved a very nice card from EinBebop. One of these days, when I get around to it, I'll mail off Westlanders birthday present. And Fray and I sent EA a joint birthday bear. :D

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

You SO want to meet me, gwen. :p

Or not..

I'd wanna meet a many people face-a-face from here.

[SSJPabs]

Gerudo King's closest to me I believe, still a few hundred miles away. Maybe if I were ever in a TZer's town I'd stop by.

[randomguy]

There's a good chance that blee337 kicked my butt at arcade Mortal Kombat about a year back, but neither one of us knew it at the time.

Other than that... nope. I'm off in my own little corner of the US, not along the East Coast where it seems a lot of TZ is concentrated. I know RedBoot and Squall live here, though.

[guinaevere]

You SO want to meet me, gwen. :p

Or not..You know I do, Chibi!! :D


I'd wanna meet a many people face-a-face from here.Same here. I enjoy having online friends, but it's fun to meet people IRL, too.

I have no idea why I'm so compulsed, but suddenly I feel like singing Ani DiFranco's Willing to Fight.
I got friends all over this country
I got friends in other countries too
I got friends I haven't met yet
I got friends I never knew
I got lovers whose eyes
I've only seen at a glance
I got strangers for great grandchildren
I got strangers for ancestors

[Kury Wagner]

You know I do, Chibi!! :D

[Beguiled]

wagner you just posted the same thing twice. :anime: I WANNA MEET YOU SO BAD!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO MEET MOOGLE AND CAPT. JIM AND EVILANDLOVINIT AND A BUNCH MORE FRIENDS OF MINE!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! :crying: (jk) but i do want to meet them. don't know if it'll ever happen sadly...we're all so spread out...:sweat:

[Sue]

I don't know if he still participates here, but I know Akelexre. He and I used to work together and are still pals.

[PaQ]

Nope, never met anyone from TZ. I know there are some that habitate out here in southern cal, just haven't had the opportunity to get to know many of them, and haven't had one of those running into each other circumstances. There are some I'd like to eventually meet, because I think a fun time would be had. :p I talk to some people off TZ on chat clients and such, but that's about the extent it's been.

[Watagashi]

Let's see... I know Tootlez, Cool Blue (one of them), Sumi_Masen, and Atari14 and a couple others that I can't remember. :p I knew them before going online here, though. I've also met ZorBrak once (I think that's still his name :confused:*been forever since I last posted here*) but that was quite a long time ago and... yeah. :D That's about it, though. ^_^




There are a couple people I think would be interesting to meet with if TZ con ever actually happened.

A TZ convention would be SO awesome!! :anime: I'm not that sure if this has been mentioned or not (since I'm too lazy to check), but I wonder where it would be held??

- Watsie

[Outlander00]

I have met a few TZ posters (as GS pointed out)... few more besides her, Inque, and WZ. Id rather not name names though, Except for Harley and Brian who we met up at a comic book show (Its ALWAYS about the comic books! :D)

Hopefully, if everything pans out, not only will those who I have met will get together again, but SJJ (drawing and a pint, a great combo :anime: ) Matt Williams, Nightflower and JC to name a few off the top of my head.

Which reminds me...

JC... When did you say you were coming my way again? :evil: :p

[SlyBoy]

I know SennenMegami. She's my friend in real-life and I actually introduced her to TZ. :)

[Zebi]

I knew Delia97 and Sailor Chibi Otaku before we all joined Toon Zone, but I have never met either one of them in person - but I'd love to meet them sometime. :) Chibi and I were penpals for a few years; I believe I met her through the penpal listings in Metal Edge magazine. I met Delia through some of the Men in Black: The Series mailing lists; she is now a moderator on my list, MIB-TheSeries (http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/MIB-TheSeries).

[James]

Actually meeting only three - Barb Gordon on several occasions, The Guitarslayer (regularly at the moment) and Salvor. All of which are great people. I've chatted to several on the phone - Frozen (in the "we all thought he was dead" period of TZ history), Harley and Kylewayne. Sort of Nightflower too via webcam and speakers.. not quite the same as meeting people in the flesh....

Who would I like to meet? Well aside from those I've spoken to on the phone (see above), certainly The Flash and Bird Boy since I work with both and have enjoyed their friendship immensely. Silverknight would be amusing (is she as cranky in real life? :p), Outlander (I breathe a sigh of relief when waxing politics with him - his angle is very similar to mine, I like that in an American! :D) and oh god, so many I could list! I could just throw names at you! Bud, Maxie, Jim Harvey, red Dragon, Nightwing, AS, Fray, Clayface, BY1 etc etc etc etc etc..

[Groovy Dudette]

I've met Warnergirls in real life. (we went to Disneyland ^_^)

I've voice chatted with narfPinky and Dantebunny though. Fun stuff :D

[Lord Dalek]

None at the present date.

[Tienshin]

Evil Dr. Reef and zorakfan called me a few months back and sang a song to me. I don't recall what the song was as it was something they made up, but I do recall laughing alot.

Good prank call.

But no one face to face.

[Tanooki]

the penguin used to be my RA
turkish used to be a friend <ooh. harsh>
af$ is a friend from high school
white ghetto is a friend from work but he faced banishment within a week or so

GK

[Rune]

Ack, well you're all so darned far away aren't you?

Haven't managed to meet up with any TZ-ers yet but there are plenty I'd like to meet up with when i get across the Pond again. As I've said before I have a terrible habit of imagining you all as looking much like your avs ... well sort of so it could be pretty enlightening!

Have chatted to quite a few TZ peeps on AIM though, and especially Zeph who knows all of my dark secrets *eep* :p :D

[Keladry15]

If it weren't for my friend Moogle I never would have seen the forums. hehe :sweat:. She is pretty strange but she is a good friend.

[Karl Olson]

let's see:

Twage
Zmanjz
Duke
Weatherman
Solitude1
lheiskell

That's happens when you hit the East Coast for a con as a Toon Zone Reporter. Btw, all those people are very cool in person, but Solitude1 get bonus points for being cool enough to hang out in the middle of downtown Baltimore at two in morning, talking about anime, while still in his (very well made) Gravitation cosplay. Twage gets bonus points for talking me into getting what turned out to be a pretty funny little Cowboy Bebop doujinshi (he also gets bonus points for translating it for my Japanese illiterate self.) Weatherman gets bonus points for letting me stay an extra few hours at his place since I missed my flight out of town the monday after con. Zmanjz and Duke get bonus points because they were just cool folks to talk too. lheiskell probably doesn't even realize it was me at the Funi booth @ otakon, pestering him about Gunslinger Girl, but he gets bonus points for giving me a fairly straight answer about stuff.

[Keladry15]

Thanks. it can be difficult when she has a :evil: mood swing. Love ya Moogle.

[Harley]

Well, I met Brian on the precursor to TZ, the WBC, over 9 years ago...

We've met Romey (DarkWarner), Craig Marinaro, Craig Crumpton, Clayface, Matt Williams, Maxie Zeus, Alex Weitzman, Barb Gordon. (I hope I'm not missing anyone.) I've also spoken with Tim, SJJ and Twage on separate occasions.

I demand snowglobes from all of them.

[Ben]

Ditto what Karl said. That was so much fun. We've gotta do it again at a con that sucks less. :p See, I went to Otakon to try it out, so now no one can say I'm an uninformed AX fanboy! Now I'm an AX fanboy who knows Otakon sucks.

Plus sterfish, who drops in occasionally, is the ex-president of my university anime club. And Alex Weitzmann and I went to AX '02 together. Who else... I think that's it. One of these days I am heading o'er to NY to hang with the big cheeses. Maybe when I have a free weekend... (looks up calendar for 2012)

Oh, I almost forgot. (http://ww12.e-tractions.com/snowglobe/globe.htm)

[Harley]

That's the coolest snowglobe EVER.

I'll treasure it forever.

[Melon109]

I haven't met anyone from Toon Zone, but it would be nice to. There are a few people that live in the same state as I do though. Maybe one day...

[maximumzero]

I've never met anyone here...mostly because I'm a relative n00b...

Anyone live in Southeastern Louisiana?

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

As I've said before I have a terrible habit of imagining you all as looking much like your avs
Yeah, mine is dead on. ;)

Anyway, people I really know in the "I really know them" sense:
- Magwheel :D
- Moraine (made 6 posts last year then went AWOL)

They both live in my old stomping grounds of New Brunswick (perhaps most famous as being the place where the Bricklin (http://www.wiredmotorsports.com/media/cars/STeeLSI_20020411_C2_1.JPG) was built :p). Jim Harvey lives/has lived in my old hometown, too, so when I visit in the future, maybe I'll see him (but pass by him not knowing what he looks like).

[Kury Wagner]

I don't think anyone here lives in WI. So, :0P But no I haven't met anyone from TZ. I don't even remember how I found TZ. . . Oh! I remember now, I saw a thing for it on Beyond Evolution! Yeah, that's it. . . :sweat:

[Classic Speedy]

I live in Wisconsin. I mean, not during a school semester, but the rest of the time.

[Jaguar]

Sailor X, 009Style, and sexy101. They never post, and, considering how well they know me, that may be a good thing.

[Magwheel]

Yeah, mine is dead on. ;)It's ....funny, I actually think of you as looking like that. hee, I have that same problem as Rune.


Anyway, people I really know in the "I really know them" sense:
- Magwheel :D
- Moraine (made 6 posts last year then went AWOL)Wow, a grin! :D I expected a :mad: :yawn: :sweat: :shrug: :crying: :( or maybe a :sad:. ;)


Jim Harvey lives/has lived in my old hometown, too, so when I visit in the future, maybe I'll see him (but pass by him not knowing what he looks like). Really? I knew he was from this end of the country, but wasn't aware it was that close. 'Cause I'M in your old hometown, too (unless you're referring to.... um... the boonies?)

Anyway, people I really know in the "I really know them" sense:
- Good Ol' Batmanuel! ;) (introduced me to this place)
- Moraine (made 6 posts last year then went AWOL)(I introduced him to this place, seeing as he's an awesome artist, and probably watches more cartoons than I do. oh well)

[ZorBrak]

Let's see

Pocket Squirrel..my friend has a name on here for like a week but I forgot it, Watagashi, Sumi Masen, and I'm good friends with Chris MSX but I haven't ever met him in person

[Emmanuel Cruz]

I went to a cartoon screening in NYC two years ago and I met Brian Cruz, Harley, Nelson and Jerry Beck there.

-Emmanuel:bosko:

P.S. Finally, after 3 years, my 1000th post!:)

[JohnCrichton]

I have met a few TZ posters (as GS pointed out)... few more besides her, Inque, and WZ. Id rather not name names though, Except for Harley and Brian who we met up at a comic book show (Its ALWAYS about the comic books! :D)

JC... When did you say you were coming my way again? :evil: :p
Yay! I actually have money now, and more on the way! I say, prolly in May or so.. sometime in the Spring I'll fly out to New York to kick it wit'cha if I'm still welcome.. OUTLANDER!!!!!

LA comes first tho.. I had way too much a blast out there, that I gotta head back there first.

[Chime]

i know Keladry15 in person, but a lot of these people...well, i dont know much about them, and they could be anyone, anywhere.

<Spooky...>

[BrendaBat]

I ran into Brian Cruz at this year's Comic-Con. I approached him because he had "Toonzone" written on his badge (a great idea that I later copied :D ). Sadly, I didn't have much time to talk to him because the DC panel was starting.

I think that, next time a big con rolls around, it would be a cool idea if all TZ members wrote "toonzone" on their badges. It would be a neat way to meet other members. :)

[Captain Zechs]

Well since the other board did so well I chose to make one similar to it :)

I currently have not met anyone in toonzone but would like to if they ever came to MD or if they already are in MD, Id probably stand the best chance at meeting Duke since he only lives an hour away right now, but that is a long stretch to reality lol!!

Well...go ahead and post...

[Juu-kuchi]

I COULD meet Mekairinek.

[Chad Bonin]

I have met guinivere and WB multiple times.

[Artimus Gigan]

Bah none of you live near my realm in jersey...

[Beguiled]

Rinie, Remy, Toss, Kaligurl817

[Weatherman]

I've met Duke, Karl Olson, Twage, Solitude_1 and probably some others I'm forgetting at the moment from Otakon last year.

[SSJPabs]

I haven't met any of you and I don't think I will but hey if you're ever in the upper midwest...

[Peter Paltridge]

None of you could overcome my lava moat. And if that didn't stop you, then the dragons would.
