Which one is more correct? and what are the difference between them?

Hi,

"You've probably Encountered/ Ran into / met me on the forums, because i'm pretty active there"

thanks

Encountered is much more formal than met , but both are correct in your sentence. Ran into is not correct in your example, but run into (very informal) would work. (Ran is simple past tense.

(Ran is simple past tense. Have run is an example of the present perfect tense.

You've is the contraction for You have.)
