That's not necessarily true, another forum where I am extremely active, we have annual parties, where all the members, who are capable, come to this one central point for a party weekend. People have spilled their guys on that forum, and I honestly know more about them then I am comfortable knowing, however, doesn't make meeting them in person, and spending a weekend with a few hundred people any less enjoyable.
Fark also has regular meetups - anonymousness really doesn't exist anymore.
