Anyone notice how we know some of each other on here better than we know our own friends in real life?

...hmm...

Drunken Tiger 03 Jul 2002, 07:46

No, not really... I know some people here better than some people in RL.. But definately not better than my friends...

Fiyerstorm 03 Jul 2002, 07:46

Yeah...There's an example of this right now on Yahoo! Messenger with me and an AGN member.

Well I probably know you guys about the same as my real life companions. Maybe a little less.

[ModTalk]Gerudo, that post had no point whatsoever so this is a warning for spam.[/ModTalk]

Wow, you guys have friends?
I haven't met anyone offline in about five years.

Dark Jim 03 Jul 2002, 08:57

I don't know much about anyone online (not much if anything real life stuff) but I also don't know much about real life persons.

I think I like my online friends better than my "real life" ones.

Well I feel that I know some people I met online better than I know others. One of my best friends live in England. Though I didn't meet him here on AGN I did meet him online.

Yep, i've noticed it.

Most of my RL friends are on-line, too, so there's no distinction.

...Well, there is one. My friends who are primarily RL tend to have bad spelling on-line, IE, "y are u not comng". You have no idea how much that bugs me.

I don't have any friends that I'm not related to in some way... the closest I come are a few small aquantances that I haven't seen in years.

Yep! That's why I can't wait to meet some of the people here at the next convention!

I now about the same amount about people online as the people i know offline... meh

I know my friends in real life better than those online. Afterall, those in real life you actually talk to, understand them better and easier and learn and meet more about their families and lives.

But I still know a little bit about some online.
