Texsox Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 This just came up in the Filibuster and I thought it was a great comment. Over the years I have become friends with a few posters here by meeting them in person. Then facebook came and I even have friends of soxtalk posters now as friends.

kapkomet Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm not sure I'd want to be anonymous. Most of the people here are great people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've met a few people but at least 2 of them no longer post here. I'm not sure if there's a connection there or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I haven't met anyone from the board, and I think I'm Facebook friends with just two posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've met lostfan and I've chatted with a few other posters (balta, Tex and bigsqwert) outside of SoxTalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ive met 1 person that I know of from Soxtalk. Im pretty anonymous although a few people do know my real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've met shipps, lostfan, BigSqwert, MilkmanDelivers, Y2HH, and some other less frequent posters and ex-posters in real life. We've had Soxtalk meetups and a website patio party in the past. I'm sorry that I missed the softball games. There just hasn't been as much going on these days now that we're older, married, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Haven't managed to meet anyone from here yet, but I did sell a Zune to Lostfan, and have conversations with him outside of Soxtalk on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I think I've met about 10-12 people from here. 1 was in my wedding party (and vice versa) and 2 others were at my wedding. All started here. Kind of crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I know and worked with someone from SouthSideSox for a while, but I wouldn't really call us friends anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ya I've met way too many people on this site. Been to 2 peoples weddings and still stay in pretty consistent contact with 2 people at the moment. Very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Met RockRaines at work, didn't know it was him the first time we actually met. Other than that pretty anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Only really knew one person who I told to sign up and think he has been banned so I guess that'd put me in the anonymous category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 The fact that so many of us feel connected is probably why we stay active year round and the arguments get so intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I forgot about how many of you are on my Facebook friends list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
