Hi, this has the potential to become one hell of a thread! Personally I've never been into a chat room or a forumn until this one and I've yet to visit another. It's kind of strange because I've always thought these sort of things were for people who didn't have "real friends". Yet, I came here just looking for a couple of answers to BGII questions and had a nose around some of the other threads for the sake of curiousity. I wouldn't say I've made friends with anyone here yet but I have enjoyed reading others opinions and giggled at some of the humour. This has led me to wonder what some of these people are like in real life. I agree with Sazerac in the regard that people do need to be wary of internet friendships because I believe you can never judge someones honesty unless you can look them in the eye. On the other hand, I've had no-one pestering me for details about myself and everything I've surrendered about me onto this site has been done willingly so there don't seem to be any ulterior motives. In short, if I was in the area of anyone I speak to on here I would like to meet up with them and would probably be able to develop a friendship with them. Friendship is one of the hardest things to classify as I have a friend who I do a lot for yet he is the most selfish guy in the world, I have another who I rarely see or speak to yet on the occasions we do meet up you'd think we were brothers. My motto for friendship has always been "Always put friends happiness above your own". If two people are doing this to each other then you have a friendship to last for an eternity, unfortunately the world is not that perfect and giving too much of yourself can lead to being let down.
