Thought of this today after finding out about Guy. I asked Bada if it's ok to make the thread in a vs forum and he was supportive. Thing is, I talked to Guy many times on the forum, such an amazing guy. Him passing away had a great impact on the forum in general and me included. Yet until today I never really knew how he looks like even.. or that BruceSky is his brother.. or anything else for that matter and I regret it a lot.
Here's the thing - we talk, we argue, we make online friends.. but only few of us actually know each other. The point of this thread is to let us know more about the people behind their avatars. Post photos, social media link, anything you want really.. the purpose is to get to know each other better.
I'll start, feel free join.
My name is Samir Zagmout, I'm from Russia (yeah, I know, no applause required), I'm 26, been reading comic books for years, studied English at school and now know it well enough to post "Spider-man winZ" in every thread. What else.. at the moment work in an embassy, used to be a journalist, not particularly religious, suffer from OCD for as long as I can remember but have amazing family and friends who help me cope with it. Love fast food (who doesn't?) and occasional Arabic nargile.
A link to my Facebook account, feel free to add me, will happily accept the friend request.
Lol thanks. Fixed the link. The name isn't common in Russia, I come from an Arabic family and the name was my father's idea, he moved to Russia decades ago in his youth. I was born and lived here my whole life, my mother is Russian, so I consider myself one too. Can speak Arabic a little but that's about it. SamZED is short for Samir Zagmout. My friends call me Sam anyway so it works.

Great thread. My name is Derrick...live in Columbus Ga. Here is a terrible picture of me but we are all guys here so I don't need to take a fashion model picture.
I'm 32...have a birthday next month on the 8th. I enjoy making people laugh...seeing people smile, love women (all of them are art to me in some kind of way). Enjoy vacations, playing my xbox 1 and fooling around on this site. I met some great people here and I honestly see a lot of you all as family. Terrible that a thread like this wasn't created before but tragic moments can open the eyes of a lot of people, bring people together.. again, great thread Sam.

I don't do "Web 2.0" stuff (Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc..). I just can't stand those virus magnets. But if you guys need anything, I use my real email in my profile and it's not hidden.
As in the "About Me" part of this thread :
I'm in NYC, NY; Assyrian/Persian (aka Iranian) and 34 yo.
Pleased to meet you, man. My cousin lives in London, I've been there few months ago, stayed in Greenwich, loved it. Everybody's so friendly. Want to go again soon.
@Mike, she's beautiful, same age as my niece.

Yah when you said you were here for the tests, I debated messaging you asking if you'd want to meet up, but thought you'd prob be too focussed on your test.
I kind of was, spent every day at Isis school. Didn't stop me from seeing most of the sights (honestly fell in love with the city) and spend nights at local pubs and breweries. And I sure entertained a lot of people trying to figure out how the self check out registers work.
There's always the next time. Also (and that goes for everybody) you ever go to Moscow, feel free to message me, will gladly show you around.

It is nice, mostly because it's really simple. But nothing beats DLR's front seats.
London's underground and railway in general is a bit more complicated, took me some time to figure out how to get from the airport to Greenwich, but once I figured out how the system works it was pretty enjoyable. Went to see the Tower the very next day.
