Do you actually meet other Tempers?

So, after reading a thread regarding the dispute of moozxy's gender from shadowxp, I started to think.

I'm an Indonesian, so the chance to meet up with other Temper is ~0%, except one of the is an Indonesian (which is, just fuckin' rare, in fact, I think I'm the only active Indonesian here, any other Indonesian temper I've identified by name {like, you know somebody named Yamato is usually from Japan, Punjabii is usually from India, that kind of name identification} seems to be inactive)

But, many Tempers are from the same country, USA, UK, France, and such. I wonder if you people actually meet up and do things together? (like, maybe go to Gamestop or something?)

It feels so empty, I've been here quite long, yet I have no acquaintance from this community

like, I'm the only piece of salt in a pool of sugar, tea leaves, and coffee beans (okay, it's off-topic

I've never met up with any tempers, it'd be cool though. I used to attend alot of copy parties when BBSes were the norm though. One of my best friends IRL is someone I met up with from a BBS.

What a great analogy!

I'd probably like to meet some like-minded tempers, Im in the north west UK - anyone else up here?

If any of them lived near me, I would do it, but only if I was friends with them online, or they were one of the more well known, longer time members. It would be weird meeting up with someone who has been with the site for like, 2 months.

Haven't met any but it would be cool if it happens. "Hey you're _____ from GBAtemp right?"

I would accept any invites from fellow Brits though...

I've actually wanted to set up a US Temper's Meet-Up kinda thing. Been working on ideas and i'm going to be doing a prelim post with questions about who might be interested. Also, its not JUST for US Tempers, it'll be an East-Coast thing that ANYONE is welcome to, i just figger a lot of Non-East-Coasters won't attend lol.

We'll see what happens

Yeah, lol, it's like:
A: "hey, you science?"
B(science): "Yeah, it's me"
A: "How ya doin'?"
B: "Never better"
A: ".............."(1 sec)
B: ".............."(1 sec, which makes it 2 secs of silence)
A: "SO, any news?"
B: "IDK, the home page told me a new Wii game is out, it's....."
A: "Aw, dang, I don't have a Wii"
B: "Oh...."
A: "..........."(another 1 sec)
B: "..........." (yet another 1 sec, 4 secs of silence)

@WildWOn: that seems rather interesting, too bad I can't join

I, for one am not a social one, (as in, those teens like in cheap soap operas who have nothing but a happy-go-lucky life full of socializing), rather, I'm a nerd

. A prophet told me I'll get married in 20, I'm 17 right now, but somehow I don't think I'll ever get married, considering how nerd I am

Also I could've met up with scubersteve but that didn't happen.

I have only met up with a few people that I met online... but there's a little process that I (we) went through.
[*]Start chatting on IM[*]Start webcamming[*]Start chatting over the phone[*]Meet up
But, I have yet to meet any other Tempers.
