yeahh i met someone irl from the old wcf site. he made me dinner and we are planning to hang out again soon :') to watch so much x files (or play games) for some context: we met on wcf and used to live far away (east coast, midwest) but he moved like a half hour away so we met up and it was chill. we've been friends for like 5+ years haha
this is like the third time ive met up with an internet friend (not specifically from wcf tho) and ofc im always kinda on edge while doing it but everything went fine! driving places is like the only adult thing i ever do Honestly
SORRY i just wanted to share that. do any of yall know someone from here irl? met internet friends?

That's awesome! I met an online friend once but it was like complete chance so XD I just happened to be on a trip in her home town, and she lived across the street from the motel we where staying at (but I didn't know that), and as I was waiting for my dad to park the car I noticed a girl wearing an MCR tee-shirt and while chatting she hangouts messaged me and my phone went off. We thought it was coincidence until we checked. And thus how I met an online friend irl XD omg thats great tho!! coincidences like that are really fun.

I got to meet a friend I made on the WCF a few years ago. We went to an amusement park, a zoo, a museum, and a couple of restaurants, and it was a lot of fun! She came up from Tennessee (I live in New York). At that point, we'd known each other for almost four years; now we've been friends for nearly seven. I'd really like to meet up with her again sometime.

haha true one time my friend was over and we went swimming and it started downpouring and then thundering and lightning and so my dad told us to get out but then we ran down the street in our bathing suits barefoot and it was the greatest thing ever idk why haha i hope it is like that! it's just so nerve wrecking at first but then it usually does work out and its a great feeling ikr and literally though. i'm down for a road trip xD i mean, i've been to his state before, but (plus idt my parents would like the idea of meeting someone i met through the internet eep ) that stinks:/ it is such a struggle though ; timing and distance

Not anyone from here, but I did meet my best internet friend/one of my best friends in general when I went to Ireland earlier this year. I've known him for 3 and a half to 4 years now. Met him 3 times total on the trip: On the first day when we were in Dublin, met him for lunch and gave him some US coins (which as an economics student he was particularly interested in) and some Reese's Cups (which he later described as "odd but surprisingly pleasant"). We also met briefly on a second day (only half an hour unfortunately since the friend I was traveling with made us miss our train), and then the day before I left we did a tour of Guinness together, then met up with his girlfriend and all went out for fish and chips. It was amazing to actually meet - it took a while to get past the "omg it's actually him" feeling. It was just too short of time together, but unfortunately that was a pretty crazy week for him and he had a lot of stuff going on.
I've also got a standing invitation to visit my other best internet friend, who lives just outside Anchorage, AK. Known her the same amount of time, and we were added to the moderation team at the same time on the forum we moderate. I'm hoping to maybe visit her sometime next year. Not sure how my parents would feel about that, though - I'm an adult and I don't live with them anymore but still - they were uneasy when I mentioned my intent to meet my other friend in Ireland, and that was just in public and with the friend I was traveling with, whereas this would be the person's house. I suppose I'd probably have them Skype with her and meet her first?

Neat. I've never met any of my internet friends irl. I've never had many and my participation in online fandom communities has always been sparse and inconsistent.
I'd like to meet up with a bunch of the old OOTS crowd though. I think that'd be fun b
