    the only people mentioned in this thread who have met me are Hix and Zooish. (And CGSwans, who wasn't mentioned, but "liked" a post so counts as being in the thread).

    I'm almost like an Antipodean Pertinax.

    The main reason VC and Zooish are definitely in my top 5 are because of @devilfish saying how genuinely nice they are! :)

    yeah but can you imagine devilfish saying the opposite about anyone? He's too genuinely nice himself :)

    (Caveat: Zooish is genuinely nice)

    Despite being a member of this site for 4 years, (and a lurker for about a year before that), and living relatively near Chester zoo, I've never (as far as I know) met another zoochatter! It is quite hard to come up with a top 5 list, so i've settled for 8, in no particular order;
    bongorob
    zoogiraffe
    tealovingdave
    gentle lemur
    Hix
    vogelcommando
    ThylacineAlive
    LaughingDove

    I think Carl Jones is at the top of my list. Other than that I would be happy to meet any member.

    Meeting anyone from this website IRL would be pretty cool, but perhaps my top choices would be Yi Qi or Bisonblake considering how they’re both relatively close in age to me.

    I am deeply honored to be on your list, though if you met me in person you might find the reality does not live up to the hype! ;)

    I think it would still be nice, and I'm not one to go with hypes. That said, one of us would have to cross the ocean for us to meet, which I almost certainly will never do as I do not wish to fly, so it doesn't seem hugely likely.

    I think I would like to meet anyone on Zoochat if I am honest but if I had to make a list...
    I'm going to do a Hipporex and have 10 people on there to make it easier. :)
    So in no particular order:
    • TLD
    • snowleopard
    • Arizona Docent
    • Crowthorne
    • Zoobinh
    • Hipporex
    • vogelcommando
    • lintworm
    • Great Argus
    • Tinopup
    There are many others - I would love to meet Brum, HungarianBison, Jogy, Zooish, devilfish and so many more. :)
