Have you ever referenced a forum member in your social life? Like in a conversation where someone mentions something and you reference someone you know but it's a forum member.

For example, say Britney Spears comes up in a conversation and then you'd say "Oh I know someone/have a friend that is obsessed with her." In this case you'd be talking about Petemitch.

So has anyone done this?

No but I have thought about it and stopped myself before saying anything

I've done this a million times. Not in recent years but I grew up with the internet and contstantly being on forums so in primary and high school I would always talk about my forum friends to my irl friends. When I think back to my old forum friends I can see what they look like in my head as if I was actually, physically interacting with them.

[armand.kay]

I just say this girl/guy online

[Livia]

Yeah, I do it all the time. I'm not ashamed...

[Smithy]

Yeah, and if people ask how I know them, I went to school with them but they moved away

this, for literally everyone

[Raph]

haha i've definitely spoken about Drew and Jake randomly but then just say I used to know them when I lived in London

[reece(:]

I've never.

[Josy]

Hmmm nah I don't say friend but I do discuss, Vicky, Novo, Locke, Nimah and Nathan with my partner sometimes.

I call them all rude names and say how annoying they are tbh.


I don't really call them names

I don't think I've done this but if I did that's what I would say for how I know them.

[Shaun]

none of you are interesting enough to reference i'm afraid

or that's my way of saying "i can't think of an instance where this has happened" anyway
