Thats kinda the point, when we first done the meetups we'd hung on EoFF for a couple of years but didn't really know these cool cats who were hanging out online and so we decided to make it real and do it irl. We had a few prior to the one I first went to mainly because I wasn't actually active on EoFF for those couple of years (read real life got mad and messy) When I went to my first, I knew of plenty of the members going, however I didn't know them that well with the exclusion of Baloki and Psychotic who have always been 2 of my best spamming partners in this forum (yeah crazy I know, they went and gave one of their biggest spammers admin rights xD) back in the early days.

My first meetup was kinda seen as "the best meetup ever" we had like 20 of us show, mostly for the weekend but even for just one day counted we understood some people could not afford or would not like to share hotel rooms with freaks from the net. The second one I attended and helped to arrange though in reality Jack done all the actual organising, I just did drinking actually lasted a day extra since the hotel rooms cost like £10 more for the extra night we usually didn't use.

I'm sure there are some members who have been to a UK meetup and didn't know us at all who would definitely agree that they're pretty cool events I know Reload Psi came to the 3 day meetup and thought he was going to have a crap time because he "didn't know us" and yet he had a real laugh. Sure we're tight knit with our in jokes but we're always welcoming and an in joke can always be explained. Though for most of them you just have to have
been there to get the funny side of it but we're willing to include new people all the time.

Edit: Dennis you better bloody come, I got to teabag you irl.
