Rudy Castro, his girl Dillo(pet name) and her half brother Jason. Nate cant pronounce his last name. Kegan and Elo the two "g's" from Cincinnati. g bon the anime lover. and pvt. captain the solder from Alabama. I feel connected in some way to all of those people. g bon reinitialized my love of anime, captain made me really worry about the situation in Iraq(hes currently at basic training). Rudy, Dillo, Jason, Kegan, and Elo all of us have shared some interesting games pwning noobs at 1am. and Nate gave me someone my own age to talk to about politics. are there any people who you actually give a crap about and not just know as their avatar?

To answer the question posed by this topic, yes, there are some people I know on the big 'ole Internet and would call friend. However, the story you gave me about your friends was just an unreadable mess, so I would recommend you proofread your posts before sending them out to the public.

Sure I care about them. Not in a personal, bestest-friend way, but if we were informed that an Escapist had been diagnosed with a terminal illness or somesuch, I would certainly feel something.

I care about some people I meet online. Most on the Escapist come under that and so do some people on my XBL friendslist.

I care about them, but not in the same way as I care about the folks I meet in real life. It's hard to care about someone the same way when you never see them in person.

Some, some are very good friends, and together we've been through a lot. I get attached to some people very quickly it seems.

Since I haven't been here very long(not even a full month yet) I haven't made any close friendships with anyone, although I do hope I haven't made any enemies.

I care about each and every person I meet on the internet, I care with my whole heart, but they don't care about meeeeeeee!

*runs off crying*

I don't think we get too personal here, so I can't say that I form a personal attachment to people here, but I wouldn't be against meeting the people here in real life. Except the rapists (you know who you are)

I'm pretty much the same as Darkstone, except I've been here longer.

It does depend on the person and the situation. But as this poll is already showing it is human nature to be concerned about his (or her) fellow human beings.

And while the yes / no poll is tough for me to love, I thank you for getting rid of the "maybe" option that always gets the most votes and totally ruins the poll and its results.

Yes. Definitely. I would be a very different person if I hadn't met the people I've met on these forums, and I would ache to see any of them in a state of suffering.

It takes a looong time, much longer than in real life, for me to give two shits about someone online, but there are a few yes.

The ULTRAJOE and the others that I have mentioned in the Who's Popular thread. Basically, everybody I mentioned I consider good friends.
I hate it when "Forum Search" doesn't work.

Can you post a link to the thread? I want too see if I'm there somewhere.

As for me, I care for quite a few people on these forums, but only when they have earned my respect first. I could write a list, but some people may feel somewhat disappointed.

Let's just say that people like Ultrajoe, PurpleRain, Larenxis, Decoy Doctorpus, RAKtheundead, Shivari, Darth Mobius, Haliwali, NewClassic and Khedive Rex are on my list. And before you ask, OF COURSE THERE ARE MORE!
