Meeting online members

Graham · November 10, 2012, 10:42:44 AM

I've met rggoodie. It was at the Canberra coin club (which I'll no longer attend). I would have no hesitation in inviting him to my place for tea and biccies. I would have done so before I had met him. personally.

I have also offered accommodation to my good friend in Turkey, Molydeii. There are a number of people on this and on the CCF that I would have no hesitation in inviting into my home. Those two were the first that came to mind.

I've met a lot of people off of the forums and they've all been fantastic!

I think if people consistently show how they behave online they are likely to behave similarly in real life.
There are several people I would have no hesitation meeting or inviting to many home based pin how they behave here and other forums.

Forum members I know personally are:
Sap
Humpybong
Brissyboy

We all used to attend the same Coin Club meetings back in 07/08, but I haven't been to one since probably May or Jun 08, but I did see Sap and Humpy in May at ANDA.

They are all great guys. There's a picture of the 4 of us taken at a meeting some years ago, ~~but I can't find it at present~~ I found it:

No one is like that.

Don't be complacent this has happened.

But moving right along I have met some of my best friends through now extinct coin forums (those people are now here). I have met many people that I chat to here and online and they are all as lovely as they appear online. I have gone out to dinner with, visited homes and been offered and accepted accommodation from various people who have all opened up warmly to me despite there always being some security concerns based on the hobby that we have.

ANDA shows and the RAM 1st Jan queue is always loads of fun.

I met Nancy when I went to QLD to start my cruise last year and I met Humpybong a few years ago on this around Australia travels.

Ooohh, fancy me forgetting that I met Triggersmob and Mrs TM last year. It was a most enjoyable time and TM personally handed me a lovely $1 error if I remember correctly. :grin:

I also met Muckeye a few years ago at the Brisbane ANDA, another great gent! :friends:

Ive also met a couple members from CCF. All encounters have been great. Its nice when you can finally put a face to a person you have been chatting with for a while online.

ausjack · December 27, 2012, 08:03:49 AM

I have only met Josh (a really really nice bloke) from CCF when he was going home from holidays last year and done the same, talked heaps and even swapped a few coins

I've sent 2 other members from here a pic of my self after my brain op as proof that I wasn't tellin porkies, and their reaction said it all

Trout was one so he knows what I look like but I don't know what he looks like but it doesn't matter as I can tell from our emails that he's a really nice bloke too but don't tell him I said so or it will go to his head :winkextra: and I ring in2fish2 now and then and he also is a top bloke :good:

I don't think I've said anything on this site yet, so if anyone would like a break travelling while in or around the grafton area your quite welcome to call in or we could catch up at macdonald or hungry jacks on the pacific highway. Just send me a message and I'll give my address

It's not a bad mix of people here, some we like some we don't and some just have a heart of gold, but generally a pretty good bunch :blush:

trout · December 27, 2012, 02:45:17 PM

Trout was one so he knows what I look like but I don't know what he looks like

I was born british and have Evolved into an Australian over the last 5 Decades in the Aussie Bush.
I have little concept of Fear, Where honesty,trust,mateship and just simple basic humanity abounds in the bush, Fear has no place in me.
There may be a couple of dodgy buggers on this site, but at the end of the day, Basic Aussie Mateship will RULE:yahoo:

To me this is our Aussie site and the phrase "Bloody Oath" comes to mind.
I have not come about a dodgy member on this site yet, They all ROCK :wavemulticolor:
So come on AJ take your boots off and your sox's and relax, You are amogst friends here Mate :good:
