I've done a few trades where I met the AT'er (e.g. Red Dawn and Sunilx). One other AT'er helped me tremendously by fixing the power plug on my laptop. I'm ashamed to say that I forgot his name.

There was also a Boston meetup, but I never made it to that.

Once, I woke up in olds' basement. It was an accident on my side but not his.

0, I wouldn't expect someone that I run into to just randomly state what internet forums they belong to. Who knows though, now everyone talks about facebook, maybe forums are cool enough to brag about these days too.

I had a guy recognize me in one of my undergrad EE classes. Apparently he recognized me from my reflection in a picture I had taken of my car door after I had gotten into a small accident. Very odd IMHO.

Another member figured out through some of my posts that we went to the same college and it turned out we even had a class together. But, we didn't meet accidentally.

I have met other members as well but it was official business :p

I saw Pliablemoose at the HTC EVO launch event. Didn't know it was him until after he posted pics. He stood out because he was wearing scrubs.
