Still being new to this forum I have yet to meet anyone from here.
But meet memebers from other forums and find that anyone who spends time on them as a passion for that kind of thing and something about them. You already have a common interest so it does make it easy.
But there are always the odd idiot.
I have become life long friends with a few members from a car forum ( the forum is now dead and none of us drive that model of car) but we still meet up and at my wedding last year we had a table full of them and one was even the maid of honour
