I don't have any friends. I haven't had any friend requests because I'm new and not all that gobsmackingly awesome that I instantly impulse someone to add me, and I've not added anyone because, frankly put, I'm rather wary that suddenly requesting someone befriend me when I only joined a few days ago might ring of a massive ego.

I have 49 friends and I only ever see like 5/6 of them online anymore so I don't talk to thema great deal. I just add somebody as a friend if I have a bit crack on with them in a thread or I like their attitudes.

I have zero....well on the escapist I do. As for the other forums I visit, I just usually befriend anybody who sends a request. Doesn't matter to me.

My friends are either those who play some of my forum games or have said something in the past which entertained me greatly.
Although I'll admit a few exceptions to those rules if their name has either "Neon" or "bob" in them.
Because I'm an egotistical bastard at times.
And I do try to talk with the people I'm around more.
I think I usually have about 5 conversations going on at a time.
When I don't, I feel quite odd.

I generally wait for people to befriend me. It's usually because we chatted on a forum and had similar opinions, or an in-joke.

I don't talk to them though. I mean... they're on the internet. It's like 50/50 if they're a paedo. lulz

I only have 5 friends :(

I already said that I don't add friends on another thread. So I don't talk to anyone through messages. I find the whole thing unnecessary.

I have have had people add me and have been added by a lot of people, but I only actually talk to about ten or twelve of them.

Out of all of them how many do you actually talk to?
I just hit 100 friends (Yay for me! New Badge!), but I have regular conversations with 10 or 15 of them. Mostly about trivial things like anime or avatars, but a couple of convos have been pretty enlightening and meaningful.

Nope, Max is one of the biggest sarcastic dicks around and he's got tons of friends. I think the problem is maybe that you're not enough of a sarcastic dick.

On topic: I'll add someone if they add me, or if they make me laugh during a thread derailing conversation.

If someone is polite and actually speaks with a voice instead of drowning use of poor vocab, then i would enjoy talking to them at a later date again so i befriend them to know who they are. If they are jerks whatever but if they actually carry a good conversation then what the hell, might open my eyes a bit to the world.

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FRIEND REQUESTS YET. PERHAPS IT IS THE ARMOUR. OR THE USE OF CAPS.

I THINK PERHAPS IT IS THE ARMOUR.

IT COULD ALSO BE THAT I AM NEW.

ER... HI!
If you would kindly refrain from shouting, there are some people here trying to have a quiet conversation.

When I was first starting out and only incredibly infamous rather than ridiculously infamous, I talked to most all of my friends before befriending/being befriended.

Even if it was only once in a while.

That was still a hundred people or so.

Now?
Eh...not so much.
I talk to a bunch of people, but it's a lot harder to remember all of my friends, anymore.
Exactly this. I started out just adding a few people for good reasons. I think Mobius/Jallil was the first person I added. Then my standards started slipping and I added people who I simply agreed with. Now, however, they've gone back up. Especially since I only really talk to about half of the people on my list.

Wow. I'm not getting any "befriendments" from anyone. You guys seem to be doing fucking good for yourselves :p Keep it up, will ye lads. Cherio!
You're new you need to add others. Give it time, and others will start adding you.

Well, I don't tend to connect with people seriously that often so I send friend requests to people who have good posts and people who have anime(not counting Naruto) avatars.

So months ago I posted something that was censored by the moderators and I was subsequently suspended. Roamin11 found it and thought what I said was the shit but couldn't quote me, then he befriended me.

I've only got 2 friends, one I don't have a clue why they added me, and the other I don't really talk to any way.

I wasn't expecting to get very many friends on this site as it goes. So I'm not too bothered.

Honestly? I might mention a couple after I've added them if I see them on the forums, but most of the time we never talk again. I do make sure that I like them first though, so I won't add some random asshole.

Besides, about a quater of my friends appear to have been destroyed by the banhammer anyways, like the once-dominant Indigo_Dingo... shame he was banned... oh wells, stuff like this happens, and I'm sure the mods had their reasons.
