Somewhere in the hundreds. Mega Dope Fests in NYC three times, Chicago twice, Spiffled II, and Dopetoberfest, plus more normal-sized meetups in GA, FL, and VA/DC/MD. Slept with several (crashed on couches or spare beds, you pervs).
Like Ginger, I’ve probably met well over 100 Dopers. I’ve moved around a lot, so I’ve met the Minnesota group, the Houston bunch, the MADs, and when I was in Vegas, I had the privilege of meeting silenus, DMark, LVGeogeek, Yeticus Rex and several others. Not to mention the 2002 ChiDope and the 2001 road trip that took me from Minnesota to Texas by way of Illinois, Pennsylvania, DC, and Tennessee.

Nuh-uh! You met me and ShibbOleth, who still posts here. Rue, ThinkSnow and … um, um… I forgot his name! Well, he doesn’t post here anymore. The lawyer guy, who walked with a cane. :smack: Well, they’re gone. We should do another LexDope and up our total.
I almost met Vunderbob. ALMOST. I did have a voice-mail from him on my cell phone, though, which is close.
Currently my total stands at five (three at a London dopefest when Gadarene was visiting, met Future Londonite when he moved to London earlier this year and thirdwarning’s daughter when I was showing her around London who actually is a doper too but has only posted once).
The number should go up fairly significantly this Saturday.
Nitpick: it’s “Tracy”. Also, why does she have to be “ever patient”? Sheesh! She lurks when I send her links, I suppose she counts.
Same here, but they can’t all be the same people. My list includes The Weird One, ralph124c, Telemark, and ElvisL1ves.
Other than What Exit, who have you met that I haven’t?
Five, in mostly chronological order:
**Hostile Dialect **(when I went to the international rugby 7s event)
Blue Kangaroo (we went to the same college, but didn’t find out until we both graduated
Hockey Monkey (Vegas, baby! Still sad I spent most of my time doing homework there. I hate grad school sometimes)
**CometotheDarkSidewehaveCookies **(Vegas, baby!)
Oredigger (originally came to visit a few of us in Santa Fe, I ended up convincing him to play rugby! Hopefully he sticks to it!)
There are a few others we had dinner with, but I can’t remember their user names right now.
I’m not sure maybe 12? I can’t remember who all was at the San Francisco Dopefest in July '07. It was a lot of fun!
A slew – 50 maybe? Mostly MADs, plus others as they’ve come through Philly, like QueenTonya. She and pseudotriton ruber ruber can both vouch for my mad tour guide skilz.
I’ve met others while traveling – missed elelle in NC because my plans went askew due to a late flight, though, to my eternal chagrin. Met Coldie and Heloise in Amsterdam, which was way cool – couldn’t get the logistics together to meet Maastricht, a fellow plant person, on that trip.
I can’t count that high. A few NYC and ChiDopes in a past life, along with a few self-indulgent weekends in Chicago.
Crayfish on your harpsichord, eh?
One but I’ve known him for years before I became a Doper.
I’ve met about 25 from Dopefests in Orlando and Boston. Y’all know who you are.
And ye shall give birth a doper messiah!
Amongst all our Doper meetings, Dread Pirate Jimbo forgot about meeting Boyo Jim in Madison. We were so thrilled to meet a real, live celebrity!
At least a hundred, I’ve never counted. I also married one.
That would be a miracle, seeing as how I’m fixed. And a guy.
4, but 2 of them haven’t been on in years so if we’re talking semi/pseudo active posters 2.
Nope, she has to register, pick an awesome username (something more original than yours), then start posting like a mad-woman in the Pit about all the shit you give her.
Then I can up my count to eleven. Now, GEET!
So far just two, Santo Rugger and Hockey Monkey, but there will be more.
