Who... Where... What...
« on: November 04, 2010, 02:05:19 AM »
Being relatively new to the world of the internet, I often find it kinda weird 'talking' to other folk from all over the world as if you actually knew them.

I often tend to picture just what the person actually looks like and sounds like in my mind. As most of us remain annonymouse hiding behind our little cartoon avatars with the odd few brave souls who are the exception... :)

Strangely the one or two who have revealed themselves are very close to how I pictured them, and the one person I've actually spoken to sounded just like I thought he would... :)

This has got me wondering just how many different countries/nationalities are there amongst the members of Amiga.org and do any of you actually wonder like me, just what the other members your chatting to look like... :)

There used to be a "faces of amiga.org" site somewhere...

Voices of amiga.org is still up at least :)

@ Karlos

Went to the Voices of Amiga.org, you sounded quite like I thought you would, perhaps just a wee bit posher than I thought though, (until I listened to the second one... whey eye man, ecky thump and all that stuff... :) )

Hmm... not sure now which is the real Karlos... :)

The old new faces of a.org site was hosted by Whabang at http://hem.bredband.net/facesofamigadotorg. I don't know if he ever put it somewhere else.

If somebody still has the assets, I'd be happy to put it alongside voices.

Or, perhaps, we could go with Wayne's original suggestion of many moons ago and have a gallery section for member mugshots :D

That might be a bit scary for those of a nervous disposition... :biglaugh:

The few folk who I have seen have looked just how I expected them too, so what happens when the one's that I think may look a bit scary turn out to be true...  :eek:

IMHO, your voice is your voice. It's not something you should ever be embarrassed about.
