Has anyone ever hooked up via the SDMB?

Nope, although I lost my virginity through Usenet.

Do people ever try to dress like their dope name?

Hmm. Which one would I be? Both at the same time would be weird.

Yes, it does feel something like a group blind date. Once you get past the initial awkwardness (and sometimes revulsion ) it can be quite a bit of fun. I ended up housing 7 or 8 people for the last big one in NYC in, holy crap, 2002 or so. We had a blast.

sniffle Aah, the House of Pain. How many breakups and divorces did it see? How I (don’t really, but maybe a little) miss those days.

Oh, Illumi, you know you’re always welcome to a snog.

Sigh

If I have to settle for just that I guess I can.

Haha, oh no, that’s just for starters.

I must warn you. I have only one futon and I am not keen on wearing pajamas.

I’ve thought about going to a Dopefest once, but doesn’t it feel sort of weird to see real people in place of words? I mean, does it feel like a group blind date?

Well, expect me in green leotards. :eek:

But really, I never found it weird to see real people in place of words. It’s rather cool, actually.
