      No, it does not need to be anywhere near it.

      If it is and you try to show it to either myself or Nikita we"ll have HighWiz protect us and attack you. Which might be fun to watch or horrific, I'm not really sure.

      Be prepared to see a flood of new topics from me in the next few days about everything that is "Defcon 18 Forum Meet".

        I'm sorry, but the forum meet has been canceled, as well as Defcon, and all the Hello Kitty stores will be closed as well.

        Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This applies to making babies, hacking, and youtube videos.

          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?

            If you'd been around longer you'd know that Defcon always gets canceled about a month or two before the scheduled date.

            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.

            Having said that, as far as I know, no one has ever been turned away from a meet just because they aren't a regular on the forums. However, he may have not have much to chat about with the regulars who show up. If he's looking for an audience to support his what happened with him recently (or argue against it), he may be barking up the wrong tree. If he's looking to meet and chat with new people, it shouldn't be a problem.

              Really? I'm surprised Adrian won't be at QueerCon on Friday night, trying to get laid...

                    What your going to do a thread hijack, NOOOOOO. It's okay, I'm getting ready to post more threads about the Forum Meet so I'll let it go this one time , but only because it's you Chris. That and NeonRa1n made me laugh so hard I ended up with vault coming out of my nose.

                      Hi Everyone,

                      The first half of the meet will be more official yet there will be loads of fun to be had. This year we will have a short trivia game, door prizes, and a special prize to be awarded at the Award Ceremony at the end of con. (More details about that will come later.)
                      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.

                          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

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