Real life friends here?

Author
Time

So... I consider ot.com to be the best site for serious Star Wars fans.  Therefore, I have recommended to many of my real life Star Wars fan friends that they come here.  I tell them frequently of the conversations I have here and they mirror some of the ones I have with them.  But so far, no one has bit!  Do you ever recommend ot.com to your real life friends?  Why is it so hard to get anyone to come here?

Okay, bye.

I've never done so, but I was just thinking the other day of inviting a friend here.

I would if I had any real life friends : (

I had a couple of IRL friends (BlackMage and sbpplr) here a while back, but they haven't posted in a really long time.

I've also hung out with Psycho Dayv at his house before, if that counts. :P

Is he really loud IRL too?

I have invited a couple too with the exact same result as Xhonzi. I don't know what it is, maybe we are just a lot lamer here than we think we are.

What are "real life friends"? Is that like Second Life? Friendster? I guess Tom is my friend.

Real life friends are just like your second life friends.

 

Except they don't fly.

This is sort of in the same line of thought as this topic.

Have you guys ever thought how weird it would be to discover one of your fellow posters on OT.com turned out to be someone you know in real life? I'd probably end up being someone you don't get along with on the boards at all, even though your great friends in real life.

I've always just found this as something humorous to ponder.

 

FRIEND: Dude, you're a Star Wars fan, should check out this forum I post at. Originaltrilogy.com, it's pretty sweet.

ME: Whoa! I am a regular there already! That is awesome! Who are you? My user name is C3PX.

FRIEND: Why you... piece of shit! You are such a jerk! All this time it's been you! I've often dreamed at night of what I'd do if I ever met that bastard C3PX in real life... now we're going to find out...

ME: Uh oh... dude, put the bat down! You don't need that! Put it--

For a short while I thought someone at fandeditforum.com might be someone I worked with, based on his username.  But before I had a chance to ask him, the guy on the forum revealed he lived in a different country.

Even though I swore I'd never join him, I just found out that VINH is my father.

I became "friends" with a few posters here on Facebook, but never the other way around.

That's true... I think I got some people to sign the petition.  The old one, at least.  But I've never successfully drawn anyone into the web of the forum.

Finally invited a friend - we'll see if I get rejected.

You will. It is just the way this place works. Kind of a law of nature.
