It's pretty awesome to meet someone IRL and hang out with them from time to time and have a friendship with them online. I have a few friends who I know IRL but can only talk to online because of distance, which is why I use every messenger known to man.
Thanks for putting input into this thread. Yes, I consider a few people from the GMD to be "close online friends" and I've talked on the phone to 2 banned members along wth 1 current one here. But that's a small percentage of all those I've talked with online. And what do you mean by you smell bullshit in this thread whiskey funeral? And I didn't block someone based on impulse, this person I had considered doing so for a while, actually now I'm glad I did it and should've done it earlier.
This. You go girlfriend. That boy was just a bad influence in yo' life. You gotta go yoself outta there. And other such generic, possibly black infused, sarcastic comments.
hey derek, sorry if i didn't give to you some attention at some moment. btw, to meet ''online'' friends is very cool. last saturday i met my friends from a brazillian forum. BIG TIME!!! i'm the one with the silver necklace, very ugly, i must recognize, and yeah, my engrish stills a piece of shit.
The best way to describe online friends, to quote Fight Club, they are single serving friends. To maintain a long and meaningful relationship with someone there has to be some physical contact. I mean, if they really consider you their friend why don't you meet up? (distance problems are an exception, of course) This however, does not mean you cannot build a good relationship online, but I wouldn't really care about someone if my spark with them has died down over the years.
yeah man!!! sometimes i miss you all. and don't pay attention to GFAD, he doesn't know nothing about eveything.
Please don't start a debate on this! The answer is that no one is wrong, and no one is right either. But I do spell favourite with a "u" .
