I know how backward that sounds, but after reading some threads here recently about introverts, I just thought I'd ask. I know there are introvert groups online, but does anyone here actually belong to one, and do they actually have get-togethers? If they do, that just seems like the funniest thing.

Kinda defeats the idea, doesn't it?! A group online is fine, but actually meet...
Joke aside, I wouldn't be into big get-togethers of any sort, but I have met people I've gotten to know online and most likely will keep doing it occasionally. Wish something more meaningful came out of these meetings as lately they've been "one-night stands" with women while I was hoping for perhaps some sort of friendship, but oh, well... I'm interested mostly in local people. A national get-together wouldn't add much, if anything, to my life.

Yes, that's exactly my point, it's an oxymoron. It's not like I'm looking to join one... Figures you'd be the first one to respond, sierra.
Oh, yeah, I remember you mentioning some "dates" (or was it "interviews"), as you jokingly referred to them (being they were women), but I didn't realize you had met them online.

At least 2 of them went very well, I thought... but that was it. Now tell me how to even think of venturing into men!
Forums are different, as soon as you no longer feel like talking you close the window and walk away...
I date back to the stand alone, dial up bbs time. We did occasionally meet other users, and as we had a bbs we knew the other sysops and met monthly for dinner. But that was a looong time ago. Computer literacy was iffy, and people who wanted to own their own were considered very odd people. So we often got along well.
I got to know a few people on I-link and Relay net and Fido. We were still in the 'odd ones' catagory of home computer users then. Then came the newsgroups and the invasion of those who just liked to make trouble. But I did meet friends I still have from the fanfiction community for Star Trek.
The forums you find now have sort of gone back to the old style. I feel very comfortable on most where the social stuff and sharing your whole life on line just gives me the creeps. I think it splits us by personality. But when I find a forum I really enjoy, I give it lots of love.
