we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

I met a yosposter for like 2 minutes like 10 years ago. they gave me an old commodore and we went our separate ways. I sold that computer for $50 at the yard sale I had before moving 2 weeks ago

i met a yosposter over the holidays here, he gave me a sick G3 with a shitload of games and old music stuff on it.

i'm still obligated to set up a yospos hotline server at some point.

i've met a bunch of yosposters and I would have dinner with every single one of em again given the oppty. Some are odder than others but I never met the stereotypical goon, although there's a possibility that its me who is the stereotypical goon.

I think most of the real attention seeking behavior either got folks banned or they left and went to other places like discord/twitter

When I got a great mac with hard drive from goons for yosmas years ago I met up with some goons at a coffee shop and we played with the macintosh and someone imaged the harddrive and you can play with it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0f6niopgs2grh67/SamanthaFox.iso?dl=0 (you just need minivmac)

i know and occasionally interact with 5 or 6 goons but us being goons is just incidental we never talk about the forums. discovered the identity of a goon in january when he posted a picture of a gathering at a bar we were at to a friend discord and saw that he was in a goon discord too when i looked at mutual servers

I have to say the last time we hung out I was deep in an anxiety spiral so I apologize for that.

i met two dead forum posters (one was a mod, too) that had just become college dormmates. they both would IM me to complain about each other, at one point it was simultaneously. turns out posting pals don't necessarily make good roommates

a goon once posted a photograph like 50 m from me at the time; that's the closest i've come to meeting a goon i didn't know

e: oh yeah and some goon in the city who apparently recognizes me but i don't actually know who they are.
