Page 1 of So what do you call us lot?

I was talking to a mate (a real one) about docs fight story and I described the doc as "a mate" I then went on to explain that he wasn`t a person I know, but a person an a forum. Its hard to talk about people on here without saying "my mate........"

So what do you call forum friends without sounding like a complete geek? I dont want to start a conversation with "A mate of mine on the internet....."

We had a little discussion about it and the best I could come up with was e-buddy. Acquaintance just seemed to personal. So what would you call us.

We all know what whoot would say lol so lets keep it clean hey? ;)

"some c*** on the internet"

---

I dunno. I frequently find myself talking about "someone I know on the internet" and it always gets strange looks!

Which is a pity, because ( know some brilliant people through forums, that I could never hope to meet in real life. But there isn`t a satisfactory word for it, is there?

"Mates" :) pure (Like my goodself) and simple (Like Paull) :D

"Someone I know off the Internet"... usually followed by "he/she`s not a weirdo"

Most of the women i talk to on the net i usually end up calling them dave/jack/bill etc when i eventually meet with them :x

I`ve been groomed more times than the queens horse :o

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Someone on a forum I visit, unless I know the person well enough to be on first name terms.

I just say "a bloke I know"
It saves the `looks` you would get, saying you were on an internet forum, chatting to someone you`ve never met. :/

Should that not read "Most of the women I meet from the net usually present me with a BILL" :D :D
