Philosophical Thread

Have you ever conversed / or talk frequently to another Know Your Meme member OUTSIDE of the website?

I don't necessarily mean the IRC, for that is just another haven for Know Your Meme members itself.

I'm referring to other forums, chat-rooms, Online gaming, social networking or even in real life.

Extra Question

How did you find this website, and why did you join?

My Aspect

I actually have NicoYoDawg on Xbox Live, but we rarely (never) speak.

My friend is a regular visitor, but he hasn't created an account. We frequently incorporate internet memes into our school work.

I got redirected to the "Gentlemen" article, and I liked it. So I created an account.

RealGenius found me on youtube.

I found almost everyone on YouTube.

Only my friend Tyler, and only occasionally.

I was looking up a picture of the LOLWUT pear (back when the article had first been made). The rest is history.

lol I haven't been on live in ages

I don't talk to anybody about this stuff outside of KYM because everyone at school doesn't believe that meme is an actual word.
Anyway, found this sight thanks to Youtube.

I have never met anybody outside of KYM.
I found this site looking for Chuck Norris jokes so I could reword them.
Because when I do a pushup,I don't push myself up,I push the world down.

Somewhat related thread. The people I personally knew before joining KYM are listed in that thread.

As for the reason as to how I found and why I joined KYM, it was all thanks to those awesome YouTube episodes of theirs.

You see, before I even knew what KYM was, I was just a humble person who researched all he could about internet memes when he was bored. Internet memes just really fascinated me for what they were.

One faithful day, after typing "meme" on YouTube, I discovered several of Rocketboom's videos and I tried to see if the series had its own website. Guess what I found a few minutes later.

Anyways, I didn't plan on joining the site until I saw a specific thread on the forums which, you could say, hurt my feelings. It just clicked in my mind that I had to join to try to straighten things out and give people proper facts about the certain subject at hand. And, before I knew it, I was part of the community.

Early on, I only submitted images on a large scale but after a while I took a crack at researching for memes much more seriously than the simple check-this-website-to-see-what-info-I-can-find-about-this-meme-and-see-if-it-interests-me kind of attitude I had towards researching. The rest is history.
