Iambian (in 2004).

If we count IRL only, but after Omni went online, then AaroneusTheGreat (2009).

DJ_O had humongous influence when I first joined, and still does .
We definitely had some IRC conversations about things that I rarely had with other members. At that time he was also the mega boss of Omnimaga

Yeah true. Although with aaroneus it surpringsly was very easy to communicate together, despite his french having an accent and my rusty spoken english. It was kinda easy for me to communicate with Eeems on Skype too, although with Geekboy and Netham45 it was rather challenging because they spoke extremely fast. Of course it's much easier with Juju than anyone else, though, since we both speak the same native language.

I can has communicate on Skype ?
Oh wait I need my webcam.

Jonius7 that was in late 2009 actually. I haven't used Skype much afterward.

For my it was Graphmastur, off of my first post ever: http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8760

The first person from Omni that I ever messaged with was either nitactu or Builderboy, both of which I remember messaging on UTI as well.

I thought we met first? (unless by meeting Omni members it also includes meeting them on a different forum?)

Nah, I met you on TIBD, which I know happened after all the stuff I did on UTI.  It was probably October of 09 or so; I became a UTI member in May of 09; Omnimaga was November 09 for me.
