philyyy   10 #1 Posted December 11, 2015 I know these used to happen some time ago but can't see any recent evidence. However, there does seem to be a lot of people "struggling to make friends" or similar, in the city, so should we revive the meet ups? I know not everyone likes pubs but in order to get some plan together a meeting in one (to make it free) makes sense to me.  Just reply if you'd be interested.

Ghozer   112 #2 Posted December 16, 2015 I think they fell apart for a few reasons, I did go to a few of the Harlequin meets, but then various things happened, some people stopped coming, groups broke off, people fell out.... Similar to the actual forum, but in person... lol....  I think a group still meets at Rawson Springs on odd occasions, but not sure....  I might be up for a meet though, depending where and when etc...

taxman   12 #9 Posted December 18, 2015 Back in the old days you could rely upon a forummer being who they said they were, even if you didn't get on. It's difficult to arrange meets with fictitious people and false constructs.  I went to a few and met my OH at one, six years ago.

philyyy   10 #11 Posted December 18, 2015 are those with multiple forum names going to keep running to the loo to get changed each time they have something to say as one username or another?  If they have got multiple accounts, the mods are a bit keen on cracking down on that.
