I have 43 "friends" on here.

I think 6 of them don't post anymore and at least 4 have been banned since my friending of them.

I've never met another user in real life, but I did go to college with someone from here when I was in New York.

I'm not very active in the forums here anymore. I just haven't been drawn in. I also have tended, since joining, to avoid many long-lasting relationships because of how quickly the community changes and people drop out.

I have no friends here. It's sort of liberating actually. On other places I have to be weary that one of my mates might find my comment and there are certain things I would not discuss with them.
On here I can say anything I like and have even in the past mentioned them when talking about things.

All of my friends on the escapist are people It was an absolute joy to speak to so I was more than happy to add them, but I usually only add someone if they add me first.

I guess to tell you my view on my friends here.. well.. they're all people I truly consider friends, I didn't just add them for conveniences sake

-I have added people on the escapist, maybe 4-6? One of them doesn't post here anymore.

-I know no one on the escapist in real life, I know some people who post here, but not who they are on the escapist.

-I've added anyone who has added me, never added anyone who didn't add me first. For the most part I think they've added me because we share similar opinions on certain subjects, like similar games, etc. I like to see their posts, because they always have something both intelligent and interesting to say.


-Everyone on my friends list added me first.

I currently have 54 friends. I know two of them in real life, few I'd like to meet in real life.

I don't remember, but I've done my fair share of adding.

Why did I add them? Most of the time it humour and/or good conversation. One lead to a drinking contest... good times.

The friends I've added - or more commonly been added by - are those with whom I've had good discussion, and/or share various interests with.

Never seen any of them in real life though.

I have one friend... Quoted me on a thread, and I realised I knew them IRL. But other than that coincidence, forever alone.

Some requests I got and some I sent. Of course, the ones I sent it to, I tend to chat with them daily. Whenever possible anyway. Would love to meet quite a few in real life.

I have about 70 friends here. None of them I know IRL. I chat to them whenever possible. Would love to meet them for reals someday.

Good times.

I don't have any friends on The Escapist. All my friends are off it. I just come here to view content and post random replies in forums to eat up time when I should be working!
That's basically what I was going to say, except I would change working to studying...

Do you have many added friends here on the escapist?
Aye, I'd say I have about 150. (I've been here a long time...)

The friends you have added, are they people you know in real life or someone you just met here?
I think I know 2 in real life... Other than that, they're people I've met on here.

What made you add some of these on people, a good conversation, they're good looking avatar, they're from the same country as you, similar interests?
Cool posts, they seem nice, similar interests, because of a cool avatar sometimes. Had a good conversation with a few and became friends through that.

Have you added most or have you been added?
Been added most. I'm trying to make a few more friends though.

Well I used to add people frequently because I agreed with them, or wanted to know more about their opinions. I'm barely on here anymore though, and my friends list depresses me when I look at how many of the old regulars are gone...

1) I have a bunch of people on my friends list.
2) I only know one of them IRL. The others are all just random people who decided they wanted to add me/I decided to add them. Sometimes we talked first, but for some of the people, I don't think I've ever said a single word to them.
3) I rarely do the adding first; most of the time, they'll add me.

Do you have many added friends here on the escapist?
Not many. Don't really mind or care though.

The friends you have added, are they people you know in real life or someone you just met here?
There's one in particular. I knew her on the internet and recently met her IRL so I guess we're IRL friends now. Everyone else on my friends list is just someone who added me on here. I don't really know them at all.

What made you add some of these on people, a good conversation, they're good looking avatar, they're from the same country as you, similar interests?
The person I was referring to above already knew me in the first place. :p

Have you added most or have you been added?
I've been added most. I don't add people unless they add me, really.

So what is your view on adding friends on the escapist?
No issue with it.

Only got one friend. He added me, and I chose no, but he's still on my profile.
Not very intrested in making friends on this site. It's a bit too big for that in my opinion. Makes it hard to separate the crowd.
