I've only ever met Shadowbrand and we've hanged out a few times a year. How about the rest of you?

Never yet, viking scott lives near me so I should probably get off my arse and go see him sometime.

Used to be monthly when I lived in Cali, but it's about annually now.

Several of my dakka friends are in my gaming club, and another one is one of my oldest and dearest.

I see dakkanauts with startling regularity.

Some, like Waagh_Gonads make it easy to spot them by using an actual photo of themselves as their Dakka avatar.

My best friend goes on Dakka and I'd say weekly. Of course this is when we're back from college.

Though I would say that in terms of the entire year, bi-annually.

Can't say I've ever met another Dakkaite ( or Dakkanaut) IRL..But then again I don't get out and about much..
Will say there are a few of you I'd love to have BarBq and drinks with.

Apart from Dakkanaughts that I already knew IRL I've only met Akira once, out in Ipswich. I want to go out there again but between work and Uni I never get the chance.

Apparently there are a few people on Dakka running around Brisbane, so I might have run into someone at one of the several GW shops since I moved down here.

Never.

Not because ya'll smell or something (the stereotype says you do and horribly) but because I seem to live in a wargamming dead zone with naught but me and my brothers to fight the good fight.

It really was. I met Legoburner, notprop, SilverMK2, Ketara, Panic, Arbiter_Ian, Chimera_Calvin and many more. Matty got so pissed that he stole some chips from a moderators plate...

Never. I'm a hermit and proud.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Your poll is missing a type "Never". As much as I would like to meet several members of Dakka I've never actually had the opportunity or time to do it.

Mesopotamia. The Kingdom Where we Secretly Reign.

I've met yakface, blackmoor, janthkin, Mannahnin (I met him before I ever posted on Dakka, he's the one that told me about it ), Augustus, Lorek, Malfred, Reecius, Hulksmash, Dave_Fay, Magilla_Gurilla, Grimgob, Gothgar... I may be forgetting some. I came close to meeting dogma, but stupid delta changed my flight itinerary when I was in Chicago. Next time! I also plan on looking up my long-lost brother FITZZ next time I'm down south.

That's just the ones that I didn't know before. Droofus, Bagtagger, Snickerdoodle, and deadlyflorist are my bros irl.
