How many people have you met as the result of the Internet?
 

That is, how many people have you met in real life, and became real life friends, as the result of an Internet community like 2+2? I've met at least 5 people that I would consider good friends and a fair number of acquaintances, people who I don't really hang out with but still consider "good people". Don't laugh. Once you get done with college and have to move to a new place, it can be difficult meeting people you actually like to spend time with.

I've only "met" 1 person on the the internet who was actually advertising a poker game. However, from that poker game I met my ex girlfriend and two of the three people I now consider to be my best friends.

More interesting than "new" people, are old people from H.S., College, or the Army that I haven't seen in years and got to re-connect with thanks to myspace and other such networking sites.

I've met about 10 2p2ers. Only one of them is gay enough to text me constantly. The rest I would consider friends or friendly acquaintances.

i technically met my wife online, but it wasn't until we bumped into each other at the mall and recognized each other that we really started to talk/get to know each other, so I consider that (at the mall) the first time we met.

i have never met anyone else from online IRL.

I've met up with like, oh I dunno 25-30 people that I knew relatively well on the internet for a semi-long or long period of time and then met up with IRL, but most of them I'm not "real-life friends" with even though I meet them sometimes. However, I met my first roomate on the internet like 3-4 years ago, moved in with him 6 months ago, although I moved out again 2 weeks ago, heh. But yeah that's a solid one. The rest are mostly online friends still except we meet up sometimes/rarely.

edit: 0 of these are through 2p2 fwiw

I've met one person because of 2+2 who actualy lives about 2 blocks away from me. He doesn't post much, but he figured out what town I was from, and pmed me about it. He's a pretty cool guy.

Zero 2+2ers, but lots of chicks.
