How accurate are your preconceptions of other forum members?

Have you ever been a member of a forum and been fortunate enough to meet one of your long-standing forum friends face to face?If so,did the real person that you met tally with all of your expectations as created by their forum persona?

The more I talk to people at AF, the more I realise just how much I take for granted....

I will soon find out...when we have our meet in Oz.

I did meet a PH member last year, which is also on AF. It turned out we knew eachother when we were very little, and it was a little weird at first. Well....expectations....personality was a bit different to what I expected. They were more confident online than face to face.

Shall be interesting to meet the rest of the Oz gang....i've pretty much also got expectations on what to expect.

I have met a few people from other forums (none were AF-related). Most were cool, but there were a few that meeting them once was enough.

I've meet some people from another site based around here. They all seem cool, we went and raced afterwards.

I have met people form on here before but that doesn't count as I knew most of them before that.

I have met people on the SDU forums before and then in person and have been 50/50 with my preconceptions.

Same here Tazdev. Some people I already knew from SDU and they’re all pretty much the same as they come across on here.

As for others, I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting anyone else yet.

It was slightly different for me. I was still pretty new to the SDU forums when I met people from there. so I didn't really have preconceptions about what everyone would be like.

I wouldn't mind meeting some of the kiwi contingent of AF. I think it would be quite good to finally meet people you've joked around with.
