The Escapist PenPal Program!

[Lucem712]

Hello there, friends!

I've noticed that I hardly ever get good stuff in E-Mail or via snail-mail and was kind of reminiscing about the days of having a pen-pal in grade school.

So, anyone else craving this sort of thing? Of course since we're of various nationalities it would be to be of via E-Mail/PM but I still think it'd be pretty awesome.

(There is PM, but I hardly PM someone randomly)

[HEADING=2][UPDATE!][/HEADING]

I have set up a user group.

[sub]If you dislike the icon, you can PM me about that. I just whipped it up. [/sub]

I am looking for loads of feedback on how to do this! Particularly about how to handle matchmaking.

[HEADING=3]First round pairing going on right now! Join right now to get in on the action, folks![/HEADING]

We should send each other messages via carrier pigeons. That would be awesome.

[Commonly Confused]

I would be down for that. Meeting new people is always interesting.

Let me handle this before it spirals out of control.

I lied - I'll let them handle it.

Well judging that this thread hasn't already spiraled out of control I'll try to stay on topic.

I think it would be cool to do something like that even though I already have a few friends here I talk to often. I have already gotten a few PM's from random people wanting to talk to me and I enjoy that since it makes me feel interesting. But if someone wants to do it I wouldn't mind being apart of it.

I think mines bigger

As for the penpal thing, I practically do it already anyway, just not with any of you.

Of all the places I imagined this thread going, I never imagined this.

I have a few people but I really enjoy talking to new folk (especially from this site since everyone is very awesome) but I always feel awkward about just PMing someone and trying to make a connection.

Well I have never been the one to initiate the contact with someone through a PM but I have been the recipient of a few. Most of them were just telling me how awesome my various avatars are which always makes me happy. It's not like most of us bite and I am usually more than happy to get in a random conversation with random people. I can't talk for any of the other users though but that is just how I am =P

Now that you mention it, your avatar is pretty awesome.

Why thank you, I always try to have interesting avatars and this one is one in a long line of random avatars I have. My photobucket is littered with avatars I have made for myself or others xD

Psh, your birds are small fry. Behold the Firebird!

Mine is the same as my PSN avatar, cos I'm lame and really like Origami dogs. (I'm sure I'll see something and be like, I HAVE TO CHANGE IT NOW! :O )
