Uh, only 3 people committed to being there. Therefore, 100% of the people showed up.

But look at the poll, I changed the date because of the poll.

This is ATOT. People that live in India that had no intention of going, voted.

qft

i saw the thread title and had to come in. how could the OP not see that coming? hes not new.

Losers. :thumbsdown:


/edit: Well, if there weren't firm commitments, I can't see holding people accountable to a poll. Seriously, straw polls are nice to gauge initial interest in any kind of party or get together, but followup is always key.

Live and learn. I commend the effort to get a meetup together tho.

Well I met Lojiku in the past and have his number in my phone, so I called him and confirmed.

Wow, just checked out this thread now and it's apparent....
Internet + people = opportunity to be dickwads

OP was a bit naive to expect more people to show up based on the poll I suppose, but still, why vote if you have no intention of going? Just ignore it and move along.

Like others have posted previously, only 3 people committed to attend Quasmo's meet-up, so what is the issue here Fox5? :confused:

if it makes you feel any better... the original confirmed list was 13, and 6 showed up. fail rate almost = 50%.

everyone knows ATOTer talk about going outside, but few actually do. I am sure many will say how great the gathering was though :)

sux when people back out of things, while I have not really had a party not go off; group buys on various car parts always get fuxored when 50% of those signing up ask about payment plans or just back out at time to pay.
