@cmccullough @mayintoronto Over the years, a number of people from IRC visited me IRL. I actually lived for a while with somebody from a game world. We had a kick-ass Christmas that year, 2020, that won't be equaled in my lifetime. It's not something to be rushed. However, if an online association has evolved to the point of trust, which is of course an important issue, online and IRL can become one and the same. During the IRC era, I used to refer to this as IRCL or IRLC. 😀
