Today, let's see what  wildthing has to say about his experiences with attending XI Fests:
So, wildthing, many Fests have you attended?   11
Oh, wow!  That's all of them so far!  What got you interested in going? Meeting the faces with the voices in the game.
Do you travel by plane or by car? Car
Which fest has been the furthest for you to travel to? How far was it? Who cares they are all worth it and a blast.
Which location has been your favorite? All of them. The best group of idiots you will ever meet.
What is your favorite or funniest Fest memory? When everyone was sitting down for breakfast and sitting was asked how he would like his eggs. A confused look on his face he replied “cooked?”
What is your favorite Fest activity? All of them for not only do I get to spend time with idiots but also the friends and family I have made of the years.
Why should someone go, who's never been?  If you don’t go you miss out on the good times with everyone and how these people have also stepped up to the plate and have helped members out in need. It is a family reunion every year and a lot of fun for everyone. Watch out for Wildthing; he always has his chicken or monkey handy.
Thanks, wildthing, looking forward to seeing you this year at Fest #12  

Have them give you their user name. If they have it setup in their security settings to allow it you can find by their phone number or email. 

Liked Budman's idea so came up with this  lol

in game

 

I am so glad I got to meet a lot of you and I wish I could have came up earlier instead of 10pm lol 😂 but thank you all for welcoming me!! 

For those who don’t know, my father passed away in June. We were very very close and spent multiple days together every week, especially after my mother passed about 6 years ago. It’s been incredibly difficult these past few months. A few things happened the day he passed and it’s really mentally has taken a huge toll on me. 
This Fest was so nice because I was able to see my 2nd family and just enjoy the company and not have my mind wondering back to certain things. It really helped knowing those people are there for me no matter what. 
Then to show what kinda love and support I have from this awesome family. I opened my mailbox today to find this, that 
@BlackRose
@WldPenguin
@loaderXI
 
And Blackroses husband made for me 
Thank you all for this 
I sent it to my family members and they all loved it! 
 
It’s amazing the family bond we have here  
Thank you so much for this 🙏🙏🙏
 

I haven't the time anymore to dedicate to the website (haven't in a while) and it is a disservice to XI for it to stay unchanging. Hopefully brining Totty on will bring some change and life into the forums and add some improvements over time. 
I will continue to be involved but taking more of a back seat and focus on the infrastructure and Portal. Will surely break stuff though 🙂

I was going to remove the stats as multiple months went by without anyone visiting the site - it's a load of work to keep it going as it is legacy, especially as there is an extreme minority that use them.

Very nice pix @ANGU5 looks like you all had a great time!  Definitely a fun place to go, even this guy from the UK joined us on our last trip there about 3.5 years ago, @Sitting-Duc

So what are the numbers looking like for confirmed people?

Well, after much thought and planning, @Gatorgirland I will be attending. Realizing that the house has the appropriate name and safe word in place.. And knowing that @Roxy! And @WldPenguinwould need some supervision, I just knew it was the right thing to do... And yes, we will be bringing pool toys.. Let the party begin.. 😎

I will be happy to see her! and you I guess  

I finished Uni in 2015.. 

I will be happy to see her! and you I guess  

I'm in 🙂
@Olive may not be though  which is sad. But I will be travelling with him the month before so still happy!
