Do you ever wonder if you've met anyone from here?

[lucyhannahg]

All the people i have met from the UK, and i have been so many places! i just wonder if i've ever walked past someone from this site or that i've even traded with! i'm just so curious!! haha

am i alone in this..?

i’ve never thought about this, but now i will lol!
It would be fun if there was any way we could tell we both use the forums. I’d have way more friends. maybe a secret code or unassuming marker that means “I play animal crossing and have a TBT account *wink wink*”

 

[Roxxy]

I must admit that I haven’t thought about it before but wouldn’t it be strange if you had been chatting to someone and didn’t know what they looked like. It could be possible that we have all walked past someone we have spoken to online and not known.

I am from the UK so you might have walked past me before we will never know

 

[velv3tkisses]

Ooo! That would be so funny if it were true! I used to go to a lot of cons, and I am sure that i have crossed paths with someone from here at some point!

 

[moo_nieu]

yeah that would be kinda cool to run into someone from here, but the chances seem low. I doubt I’ve seen anybody, but who knows

 

[Chris]

I know I have! Someone once recommended The Bell Tree to me when making small talk about video games before a meeting. I assured them I would then changed the subject.

I haven’t seen anyone from these forums IRL, sadly. Then again, we’re still sorta under quarantine and I’m an introvert as-is so you’d probably just get a glimpse of me talking to one of my older siblings lol

 

[chawwee]

Thats a good question! I'm also in the UK and I feel the community isn't as big here so it's less likely I've passed anyone IRL, but I have ran into a few people on different online spaces that are also members here! Which is quite nice to know

 

[cornimer]

I have a friend on here that I know lives close to me and I can't help but wonder if we've passed each other at some point in our lives without knowing

 

[jiny]

i doubt i have tbh haha i’ve talked abt this forum with my irls and they have no idea what i’m talking abt i have met some people here from texas though, but nowhere near where i’m from

It could be any one of us

 

[Snek]

I sure hope not....jk

But in seriousness I am more of an introvert. I doubt I would meet anybody if I could

 

[Chris]

Well I can narrow that one down a bit. On the off chance he sees this: Hi Alan. I'm Chris.

Everyone named Alan on the forums rn

 

[Xara]

huh, i’ve honestly never thought about this before! i live in canada and while there are plenty of users who live in canada, too, i doubt that i’ve ever run into any of them irl aha. however, i did meet a friend of one of my irl mutuals one time! it wasn’t an in-person meeting but it was definitely one of those “small world” moments for me. :’^)

 

[Lynnatchii]

I mean, i never thought of that before. But i reckon that i never and will never like walk past a person from here. Why? Because majority of people in here are from uk, america etc. While I'm over here at Indonesia far from everyone.

 

[Bugs]

I also live in the UK, (hello again! ) but I doubt I've walked past anybody from tbt, there aren't really that many users on the forum so it's very unlikely

 

[Antonio]

If y'all see me in public, y'all better stay away from me.

 

[moo_nieu]

This made me laugh so hard lol yeah I guess that would be kind of awkward. Plus Covid

 

[Jacob]

Oh my gosh I think about it all the time, there has to be at least 1 other person on my campus who uses the forums

I also think about, maybe there are some IRL celebrities who use the forums under like a fake screen or something to try and be a normal person again. Like what if
