Best DALnet Moments III

We had some great entries for the Christmas Competition. Below we've picked out a small selection of the best for your enjoyment. Well done to all who entered, it's so great to know that DALnet has been the catalyst for so many special moments.

I have a lot to thank DALnet for. Not only has it allowed me to meet wonderful people from my own as well as other countries, but it allowed me to meet the most wonderful person in my life....my Kylie. I took it upon himself to message her while she was in #Texas playing trivia, thinking she was some 16 year old girl from Norway (according to her IP). When in fact she was a 32 year old woman from California. I was nice when I messaged her...just a simple "Hi" was all I said and we ended up chatting all night long just from that simple gesture of hello. We wound up talking every night and day on DALnet for about a month, then I flew out to California to see her for the first time..after realizing she wasn't some 16 year old from Norway of course. =p 2 Months later and 3 trips of me going out to California, we decided it was time for her to make a trip to Texas, where I lived. She decided at the last minute to load up her SUV and drive to Texas. That was the longest 21 hours of my life! She had only planned on staying a week and returning home...however my plans were different. When it came time for her to leave....I proposed to her and she never left. Here we are, 10 months later...happily married and living in Texas...all thanks to DALnet!

If it wasn't for DALnet, I'd never live the happiness I do today... I will definitely look forward to DALnet coming back online because it is most appreciated..

In the past six years, there have been many 'dalnet moments' for me. From the first time I wrote my own popup (That got me akicked for weeks) to finding my new wife of only 2 months. DalNet and IRC are both addicting, and I have enjoyed both a great deal. But I digress... I have a dalnet moment each time I help someone else learn something about the mirc client program, or teach them to register a nick, or identify to nickserv to keep from being changed to guestxxxxx. The biggest dalnet moment is when I am finished and they leave the channel, they say "Thanx". It keeps me coming back for more and more hours of helping others, being abused by those who are rude and crude, and enjoying my cyberlife on IRC. My thanks to dalnet for furnishing a place where I can interact with so many others, teach as well as learn, and have fun doing what I like to do.
