Seeing as we broke up because we had nothing in common whatsoever, and increasingly nothing to talk about, I guess technically no? Not because of any hidden grudges or hatred or repressed awkwardness or anything, just because we genuinely have nothing to say to one another.
And then there's my more recent 'ex'. Who's now my best friend. We sort of stepped back more than split up. So yes and no, depending on which ex you're talking about.

My ex is on another continent, so, kinda hard to keep in touch the way some people do. I'm not an emailer.
After how bad she screwed me over? Heeeeeeellllll noooooooo.
I guess it depends on how you define "ex" though. Does it count if they rejected you before the first date? Because in that case, I'm still on pretty good terms with the majority of them, though one of them did a pretty shady and heartless number on my best friend pretty quickly after said rejection, so she can DIAF for all I care. Hilarious note: She still tries to get favors from me, under the misconception that I still secretly have feelings for her. I may have abused this a couple times and slipped her some bad intel. Don't look at me like that, it's perfectly justifiable.

All my ex's live in Texas. Horrible country songs aside they don't all live there, most of them do through. There are a couple here in Washington, one I have no clue on, one in Wyoming. Well you lot get the idea. It's easy to stay on friendly termes with the ones you never have to see.
It's the ones you bump into going to the store. Or see after a few weeks with someone new.
I joked about it but my last girlfriend really did a number on me. For the first time in while I really cared about someone. I loved her. She pretty much checked out emotionally part way through the relationship. Kept stringing it along, blaming everything on me. It ended pretty badly and onpy got worse from there. I more or less pretended to take it well, but I wanted nothing more then to hurt her. I did just that in more then one occasion. Not my finest moment, but I got over it all eventually.

I am with one. My current girlfriend isn't so pleased about it. The others I don't think I'll ever see or speak to again. Heck one of which I broke up with when she was doing the whole "I'm gonna kill myself" thing that attention seeking chicks do. Best most brutal breakup I've ever done.
I don't really talk to my most recent ex, well, we occasionally send 'happy birthday/christmas' and the "haven't spoken to you for a while, hows things?" texts. But other than that we rarely talk, it's awkward especially after how it all ended etc etc.
My ex before that I haven't spoken to since the day we broke up, she was a giant douche though so no loss there.

Over my many, many years of experience I've noticed something that women do really well. So well in fact that it is almost by stealth. As soon as you are in a serious relationship with them they will start annexing any of your female friends, especially your ex's. A couple of weeks in they've already sussed out who the potential "threats" to their hold on you are. Then they'll either make it extremely uncomfortable for them to be around you, constantly point out their faults to you until you decide to ditch the friend/ex or just nag you incessantly until you relent and give them the flick out of "respect" for your new partner. Any female friends that you do still have after the winnowing process are on such a platonic level that your partner considers them of absolutely no threat. There are animals in the animal kingdom that do the same thing, with humans it just involves a little less murder and a bit more emotional blackmail.
Yup! The significant one, at least, disregarding previous half-relationships. In fact, my ex is my bestest buddy in the whole wide world. None of that 'we were friends first' nonsense, either. We're just not compatible in a proper relationship in the long, long run, but anything in between has worked at various points in time.
I can honestly say that it's an absolutely fantastic feeling not to have to sort your feelings for someone out because any way anyone feels about anyone is perfectly fine.

I'm aquaintances with one of my ex's...
but the one who broke my heart...yeah, she just doesn't talk to me at all. Didn't even say thanks for wishing her a happy 18th (Y).
Ah well. Life goes on:].

*BROHUG!*

Nope. My ex refuses to even acknowledge I exist. She honestly never even looks in my direction. I don't have anything against her anymore, so it's rather entertaining to watch someone go out of their way to avoid me.
Serious exes, as in people I have loved, yes. I'm quite adamant about wanting to stay friends and will do all in my power to make it possible.
Casual exes, kinda - there are one or two I can't even remember the names of, and a couple more I still occasionally say hello to if I bump into them on the street. But despite at least one fairly horrific break up, I've never desired to never see/speak to them again.

I'm on speaking terms with 2 of mine. First one we broke up because we knew it wouldn't work before things got out of hand. The second cheated on me with one of my friends within a week, so screw her. The third one I met up with (by chance) 7 months later and we both moved on. We caught up and started talking some more.
Well, I'm on speaking terms with my first ex, but not my second. She just really has no interest in remaining my friend, so I don't bother.That_Swedish_Guy said:
