I've been online since the early 90s on local bbs' (bulletin board systems). AOL is basically a big BBS. I knew people thru the BBS' in my area which in the end were friends of friends anyway. Then came the internet. I was on local ISPs and then now on cable internet. I was never really a social guy unless I met someone who I couldn't put in a specific group, catagory or lame generic scene. That limited my ability to meet many new people where I live. In the past decade I've met a good amount of people off the net. Most were females, I had fun with a good amount of them. It never really get better or worse with who you meet online from what I notice. I'm a picky guy but in the south its slim pickings overall when it comes to finding quality people.

I met Stampede here in Pullman, WA.... Granted, he doesn't IM me much, but that was wicked cool.
My experience tho with meeting people online, even after talking to them on the phone has not been cool (with the exception of Stampede). Maybe I'm a psycho? Who knows. lol

Come the end of March, I'm meeting a friend of mine from back when I was on AOL. (almost 8 years ago) We're going to fry on mushrooms, get drunk, and go to Sinferno.

Yes. I used her as the Junkie Slut in an awful, awful, awful film I was making. She was OK, but she kept hitting on me, and I'm not interested in jail bait.

Well,maybe when she reaches prison, she'll find love with a girl and a strapon.

I met one person about 3 and a half years ago because we went to the same school and we had a class next to each other. I'm hoping to meet Cody/HighProtein if he ever bothers to come back to my city. lol

I've met a few people. an old girlfriend of mine i met online. she was a nympho, but she also really wanted to suck my.... Blood. all the time. it was a little strange. And Zero of course, but i don't really IM her much. because I'm lame. And some random other people. but mainly internet friends stay as internet friends, and i use IM's to talk to people I already know.

about 11 or 12 years ago i was on a local bbs (west suburbs of st. chicago) that was a direct dial, no internet access.. hell, i don't even remember "internet" being a household name then.. anyway, i knew a bunch of the people that were admins so i started going on. eventually met a ton of other cool people through there. it was very, very local though. pretty much just friends of friends of friends. we'd have little group gatherings about once a month or so. it was a blast, now that i think of it. i miss the closeness of how it was back then. now you can come on and talk to someone 10,000 miles away from you... which is cool and all, but it's so impersonal.
