I don't think that's too desperate.

I always like to meet people from the fora. A few years back I tried to put together a Midwest Meeting (well, North-Midwest) which while I don't call a failure, had low attendance (consisted of Del Snizz, Asorie and myself). I should really try to put another one of these together now that I am back in the area and such.

Meeting people from online is cool. So long as they aren't crazy rapist axe-murderers.
