Who and how many zoochatters have you met?

Don't really think that was necessary, as it did follow on directly from the topic :p but no matter.

Indeed. Any further, deeper discussion is probably best for a separate thread but I don't quite understand our trend of taking any prolonged conversation slightly off-topic to the main thread and chucking it into a new one. I get that we don't want to totally derail the thread, but conversations evolve and most good threads have off-topic banter like this here and there :p

It's always difficult to find the balance - in this case, I agree on both counts.

When you get nearly 2 pages of posts that are off topic and actually could stand alone as a new discussion - I would generally be in favour of splitting it.

However, I also agree that those posts were not really that off topic and could have stayed where they are. But in this case the new topic is interesting enough that I also think it works well stand alone.

So in this case, my opinion is "meh, whatever - just go with it".

... ironically, posts discussing slightly off topic posts from another thread are much more off topic than the original posts :rolleyes:

Back on topic now please!

We haven't had any meetups in Australia in quite a few years, so I haven't met anyone new. I also don't get to travel for work frequently like I used to when I first started the site, so I don't get to visit people in other cities.

I'm missing five off your list. And as for that @ThylacineAlive, well he had his chance to meet me and failed... But as I said, I suck at meet-ups so maybe it's not all his fault! :p;)

Well there is one very enthusiastic member from Canada whom you could potentially meet, but then again Canada is a huge country.

The UK members seem to be the only ones good at having meetups. (I tried a couple times doing a USA meetup and it went nowhere). I think the small size of their country and the large number of participants (largest representation on ZooChat) makes it easier for them.

Was I that unremarkable? I know I cut out early, but I did at least spring for admission. Always the Wallflower....
