Thrive to spite them
My very first f2f meeting of people I met online was when my then boyfriend went to pick up an Amiga he was buying from a couple that ran a local bbs. The next thing I did was fly to Alaska to see a guy I met through yahoo personals, and after that I went to DC to meet with someone women from an now defunct web community. The web community imploded when the woman who started it decided to take her toys and go play somewhere else, but since she ran the place she shut it down, kicked us all out and started over. (the site looked a lot like Table Talk so I was very comfortable when I found that, better than the ubb format which always confused me). I was worried about the Buffistas when TT went to pay because of what happened there -- everyone knew the site was going to be shut down and everyone talked about starting a community elsewhere but no one did anything. I met the women after people migrated to a different site.
The first buffista I met was Hec, when I went to SF -- I met Hec, JZ (and Emmett), Deb, and beth. Then the DC F2F and last year I went to DRagonCon and met Shrift and Dana.

Of the three, Buffistas has lasted the longest by several years.
I think I'm about tied with M-Net for now, but there's no question it's B.org for the long haul.

Between this, shrift's attitude and Theresa's driving, I probably wouldn't have been a successful axe murderer.
Haaa.
I'd already met ita when I drove to your apartment. I was planning to run away screaming while she took you down if you turned out to be a superfreak.

My first meeting of f2f people I met on-line was ... at a convention I was sent to by WotC, where I met people I knew from alt.gothic and alt.gothic.fashion. That was one of the perks of working for the crazy game company: lots of travel.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My first F2F was 4 days after I started posting for good. I'd done a bit -- a very little bit -- on TT before it went pay. Then joined the Buffistas for good 9/11/01.
CaBil suggested a weekend F2F to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which was playing in the DC area. Hubs and I were the only ones to accept, so we got to meet both CaBil and Ms. H for the movie and dinner at a Mexican restaurant (whose name escapes me) afterward.
