I don't know if its been proposed before, but I think it would be the coolest thing if all the UM forums members came together for a REAL discussion banquet held somewhere in europe or in the states. You could only get in with your screename and password, and everyone could have their UM screenames on their name tags and we could get down on some real discussion and meet eachother.

It would be so cool to meet the actual Burnside, Falco Rex, Seraphina, and a whole bunch of UM legends in person, and see who's who on the forum!

Any takers?

It would be cool...but with an internet forum we're dotted all over the world and some of us don't have the cash to fly somewhere.

this idea has been discussed before. and i agree with D.O.N. plus there are several member who are 10, 12 etc.

This has been discussed a few times before, and although it's a fantastic idea, it's rather impracticable for such a large amount of people to meet together. It would cost quite an amount of money and it would take a great deal of time to organize.

I, along with many others would love to go to a UM convention, but it's nearly impossible

i think the only way this could be done is if ppl hooked up with those who are already near by so traveling would be so impractical and a pain in the butt. But i think it would be cool to put a face to names.

The actual BurnSide is a figment of all of your imaginations.

And, yes, it would be cool. Sadly, nigh on impossible though. The closest i could get to meeting an UM member, besides the one i live with, would be Dotty who is a 4 hour drive from me.

Everyone could set up one of those live video conference meetings.

Maybe have a European convention and an American convention...

I would love it!!
Its a great idea...


LBD

Wonderful! I'm losing a chess match to a rassenfrassen*$)#*%^ figment of my imagination!

i think the best we can do is do a live webcam feed on the forum which will be the next best thing

Some members have already met up...but there are a lot of you guys that I wold love to meet.

I like that idea, and if every member on this site payed like a twenty bucks to fly in the people who live way too far away, it might work...

But yes, the whole idea would take tons of planning And yes, half the psychics board members are really young too!

Tisn't fair; nearly all the regulars lce in the USA.

We could set up a lotterey syndicate? Then win and use the money for the meet-up?

I'd say we could try to get SaRuMaN to set up a UMconvention bank account. Any member who could spare some change could contribute a donation to it until there was enough to hire a banquet hall or something like that, with some aside to help with airfare and lodging for some members..

But all you yanks are gonna have to fly over, seeing as UM is based here in Scotland.

Ha ha! Thats half an hours boat ride from here!

... sure it would be great to get to know each other, but since we've already talked about how impractical it is, I think there's really no need to meet up, since we'll still get the chance to talk on UM and it really only matters about our ideas right? or is that just some farfetched idea

Not as far-fetched as your petition to save Joan of Arcadia.

If a kind member won the lotterey, perhaps

Ha ha! Perfectly sane man, you're right.

The sensible ones hold us back in our dreams.

I don't mind flying, my passport is up to date; and I need a damn vacation..Scotland sounds good to me!

thanks I needed that to remind me it's going away

I'm with him, never been to europe... or any other counrty for that matter. I know, I'm a sheltered yank.

Oh, and canada doesn't count. It's just like a baby america.

more like americas little bro

Gosh, I'd love to go to Scotland! Or Canada, for that matter. Sighs wistfully.

But isnt America just baby Britain?

Didn't we bring culture to you?
