Would it be better to cast my net wider,and use other site's,in the hope that there would be. I have noticed that many of the members on here,are also members on other sites,is this the reason for being on different sites,or is it that online friends move on to other sites as a group?
Ie:If one goes,the others follow?
Also,how do online people become friends and real friends not just names on a screen? Is it impolite not to accept a friend request and do people accept friend requests to be polite? All answers greatly recieved.
And as a second-best, there are also some from Lankyland.

would you do that I wouldn't?Forums are pretty much the same in many respects with similar people on all of them.
Perhaps forums are not for you if you wish to meet people in person. You could try checking your local library for clubs you could join or start your own

Re: Help!
Sometimes it's best not to live too near them as they might be a 'Billy No Mates' and want to keep popping round to your house for coffee all the time and overstaying their welcome!!As much as l love everyone on forums, it is always best to be friendly but not get too close.......familiarity breeds contempt!!

Re: Help!
If i understand rightly what is said,then the words"friend" and "friendship" do not really mean anything on chat sites?If people live to close,its wrong in case they are friendly and want "real" friends and if they live as far away as possible then that is ok? That seems very "unfriendly".
Surely a site about chatting and discussion is ok but some things are not or cannot be discussed?
Asking questions and advice is surely part of learning?
But talking or asking about other chat sites is taboo?
The remark about parties seems to smack of "loyalty".Loyalty to the site?
If this is so,then why are so many members on so many sites?
Yet nobody seems willing to discuss it?
What's the big mystery?
