    Short story here, but a smile really lit up on my face when I heard the news. I used to run a website about 2 years ago. It had some decent traffic. About 5000 members and easily over a million hits a month. The main section of the site was a webforum where we whored our hours away posting nonsense.. As ya do.

    It turns out that this girl and guy I invited over there from two seperate forums eventually started talking. That talking turned into something more serious, so one drove a couple of states to meet up with the other. They eventually hooked up about 2 years ago, fell in love.. and now get this - They are now married! I just found out like 10 minutes ago.

    Anyways, I think it's weird.. without my site they would not of met or would of getting married. It's really cool.. different. I like!

    do you feel like god in some way?
    you will probably be responsible for lifes as well if they have kids!!


    ...sap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Cakehole, keep your negative attitude to yourself buddy. I just think it's cool they ended up getting married. It doesn't warrant calling me a sap.

    Some people on this site need to just chill out. Moan at any given opportunity.

    Would not HAVE met. As for "would of getting married", make some bloody sense please. It's would HAVE and "would have/have not been getting married".
    As for the actual content, that's nice. Meh.

    Thanks Lord Grammar. It was a typo. "He spelled that word wrong, let's get him! Freeedom!" Another example of someone who needs to chill out. Anyone else need to vent today?

    "Would of" written twice doesn't look like a typo. It looks like a common grammar mistake. Also, it's Lady in my case ;)

    Sorry my title misled you. I thought with the whole valentines day theme coming up, it was suiting. Apparently not. I'll make sure not to post here in work hours, it's generally when everyone is angry and trys to eat me :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    theoretically, everyone is responsible for everything... apparently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker


    Jesus theres so much bloody negativity here at times.

    dlofnep, I think its fairly cool. Id probly get a nice happy feeling too if Id just found out that my site helped 2 people meet & fall in love. Fair play.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Thanks man. Maybe I think more of it because I remember them flirting online and that and now they are married. Just kinda weird, that's all..

    Don't mind em!


    Its lovely to hear when two people have found love and can see how it would feel nice to have played a part in the union of two such people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    They can't be that grateful-you didn't get a wedding invite.

    :v:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    cakehole actually had a good point -- if they go on to have kids, then they're the only 2 people who could produce those lives, and you will have played your own little, non-sexual (I assume), part in their creation :)

    How about that ;)

    I don't think it counts as a typo when you spell an entirely different, unrelated word...

    What was the name of your website?

    Don't want to advertise it on here incase anyone would think I was just posting to do that. It was a Mixed Martial Arts forum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,805 ✭✭✭Setun


    Its crazy how you could have completely changed someones life like thet. I wonder what each of them would be doing now if you never decided to create the website. How did you hear btw?
