Would you?



Lets say a rich PotDer (ex. lihlih, rottenmonk) were to cover all travel and accommodation expenses, and provide a basic food stipend (fancy food is not covered). It will be held in a cool/fun location that would be voted on by attendees (like Las Vegas, Berlin, London (the Canadian one), or Jens house, just as some examples).

Would you go?

A meetup where any PotDer could just show up? Not a chance. However there are definitely a good amount of people I wouldnt mind actually meeting.

Not likely. I'm not part of any of the cliques here and most of the people that I would have enjoyed seeing in person are no longer here.

PotD is not that kind of community.

I would like to one day meet up with my close group of friends, but lol at me ever going outside.

15 years ago, yes.

Today? Not a chance in hell.

I always used to say that if anyone was ever in the NYC area and they wanted to meet up and hang out I'd be up for hitting a bar and having a few drinks (and we were talking about maybe meeting up at Comic Con in the Geek topics for a bit), but those days are long past. I'm too old to really care now, and most of the worthwhile people have long since left.

Maybe that's the biggest indictment of the site and the board and what both have become over the last decade or so.

If you go back what? 15 years? Maybe. Any time after I started posting here in 2008 it was just cliques. Same clique Jen is talking about was the "main" one. I know there were other ones and the offshoots but those were dying pretty bad by the time I showed up.

Most people left for offshoots at the time. I know that I came back to GameFAQs (and started posting on PotD) mainly because The Undersquare (A Rockman EXE offshoot) was dying/died.

Then again I've been posting on a small PCH offshoot for the past 8(?) years and they're basically my family.

tbh yeah I came back here during Paradiso's death thrall

i can't keep track of cliques or anything though, it always just seems like a relative pile of people here to me.

If the people who use this board were forced to meet in real life in a room, it would be a shit show. I won't even explain the possible chain of events because it'll make me sound like an asshole. I think the nature of anonymity has just cause a lack of civility to the point where meeting would be prohibitively awkward.

I'm sure a few choice members could remain civil though. Like adjl. I like him.

relax man, it was a joke (theres a few of them in OP in case you missed them). I know $80k is peasant funds. I make close to that in a month when all my revenue streams are accounted for. I also control the bank accounts of a young social media influencer Ive developed, so for all intents and purposes her money is mine too, bringing it another nearly $20k a month.

The reason I made this topic is because I was considering funding the meetup if people were interested, but obviously its looking like thats not the case.

Well, I did say:

So yes.

But honestly, PotD has always had cliques. But cliques aren't necessarily bad if the people in the clique are worthwhile. The problem starts when the cliques are mostly filled with terrible people being terrible. The trick is to just find the people worth interacting with.

As an example, I was willing to go to Paradiso, but I never would have gone to any of the others. Or the PotD Tinychats. And while I spent more than 10 years hanging out in the Geek topics, and spent time in the Chestbump Squad topics before that, I wouldn't really bother going in to any of the other various clique topics.

You just have to sift through to find the good people.
