Forum Meet Time & Location

Re: Forum Meet Time & Location

The meet is really designed for a some face-to-face time for those of us who otherwise communicate on the forums. The name "Forum Meet" might be something of a clue. Lamo, to the best of my knowledge, has never posted here.

I was actually referring to the above quote... Sorry to have been cryptic, it wasn't my intention.

I'm looking forward to attending both the conference and now the forum meet... it should definitely be interesting...

This is going to be an interesting forum meetup.

Re: Forum Meet Time & Location

Months back Faye posted to me saying "PLLLEEEAAAZZZEEE I want to be accepted..." I told her this place give everyone a 2nd chance. She is still a bit intimidated but I'd give almost anyone a 2nd chance. Asshole had several chances. Be happy you remembered him for the Red Bull and not what he did with a trash can near the scavenger hunt table.

Re: Forum Meet Time & Location

That was always my assumption, which is that its open to all, but of limited value if you do not at least have some idea whats going on in the Forums..that being said..I'd encourage all newbies to come and meet/participate!!!!

The only person I can think of I would submit to ban would be that Asshole who chunked the red bull out the window, but that was years ago now..I don't think I even remember who he was other than that Asshole. My understanding is that even Faye under the alias Phoebe Jonez is making friends on Facebook..so this could be a place of redemption as well.

WTF are you talking about? The forums meet is a public event. You do not HAVE to be a forum member to attend and as I said before, it's not a private event, but if you are an asshat then we do reserve the right to ask you politely to go elsewhere. It's nice to have new faces join us at the meet and make some new friends. Post count doesn't count for two shits in a wicker basket, IMHO.

As to "a certain individual" WTF are you talking about, I hate cryptic shit like this, who are you talking about. Faye? Blue Rules? My insane Stalker, Maggie Vincent? The New girl BeautifulHacker? I can't think of anyone going to be DENIED entry. ( Except when harassing or STALKING Others) But...that's MY opinion, and even tho I think my shit smells like roses, no one listens to me anyway.

Re: Forum Meet Time &amp; Location

Ha ha, I hope you're kidding :)

On a serious note. I was talking with Adrian Lamo and he said he was interested in coming to the forum meet. But he was worried that some people might ... bear ill will toward him? Does anyone here really hate him or something? Will it be "safe" for me to bring him along?

Pretty sure they are talking about Adrian Lamo. Honestly, I don't see why it would matter who they are so long as they don't cause trouble. Forum lurkers are some of the best behaved people I've ever known. ;)

Re: Forum Meet Time &amp; Location

I know that a posting went up regarding a certain individual attending the forum meet - and the fact that he doesn't actually post to the forums... but since I am new to the forums.... and this is my first DC event, I'd like to make sure that it is ok if I drop in to meet everyone. I plan on staying in touch and remaining a dedicated forum user in the future... I promise :)

Re: Forum Meet Time &amp; Location

So is it general DefCon Trivia, or Forums specific Trivia?

DEF CON trivia in general, so anyone can play :-)

Re: Forum Meet Time &amp; Location

Aha, good. I'll try to make it up there this year. Last year I spent a good portion of an evening annoying my wife and cutting pieces of poorly printed avatars and laminating them to perfection only to have everyone I met at Defcon say, "What's that?" Thankfully I have not changed my avatar, so I can just reuse them. Whee. Will attempt to drag _g3k and crew there as well.

I'll be there, provided there are no catastrophic issues with my planning. In fact, the forum meet is something I've been looking forward to for a long time :3

Re: Forum Meet Time &amp; Location

So is there a schedule (time) for when the different stuff will take place at the Forum Meet?

ie:

9:00 PM - Everybody Meets

10:00 PM - Trivia Game

11:00 - Official Time is over - get your party on?

Or do we just have to show up to know the schedule?

Thanks for reminding me. Yes, there will be schedule, I've just been really swamped. I think your time line looks pretty dang close! I'll try to get on this soon, and I think it will also be posted in the program too.
