I gotta say, I think that's kinda rude. out of respect for the forum I'm on, I'd never post another forum that's the same thing. ...I'm even a moderator for a few boards (one for the Honda del Sol, another for the Honda Fit, and there's some others), but there's TONS of del Sol and Fit forums that I go to. I *NEVER* advertise for the forum I moderate for, or the forum I think is best, or another random forum that's the same thing or similar. If someone wants to look for other boards, they can do it themselves.

whether you think JF is best or not...it's still not right to post another forum here when we have a board for it too.

and yes, it was OT. that post had absolutely no place here.

people are lazy. they don't want to go around doing 1000 posts before they start to get to know people. most of the people who are looking for new friends are relatively new and don't want to deal with the hassle of putting in time and effort to make genuine friends. with the 20 replies that they receive, that's 10 people who are willing to talk to them who they didn't have a few days ago.

Have you made a friend? Have you ever gotten to actually speak with or meet them?

I am hoping there are some success stories!

lol, well, my buddy list is really long, but i don't think that means anything......when i first got here, i met someone from India....he was really cool, and he knew english as well, so he and i talked alot.......i met alot of my other friends on here in other threads actually. like, back in the begining of february, if it wasn't for a religious thread, i wouldn't know hisu. he and i fought in that thread and in PMs as well, and then somehow, we became like, best friends......i'm going to england next summer to see him.

Whaaaaat you're gonna meet him in person! xD I'm going to England this upcoming summer as well (hopefully) ^.^

Anyway. I have met some really awesome people on the net. I still keep in touch with some of them after like 5 years
