K guys, I'm probably going to fail for this, but I'm writing a paper about how people create and maintain relationships in cyberspace. I've noticed that this forum is good for people knowing tons about each other, and being sort of online friends. I'm kind of (a lot) behind in it, and i need a little help.

How do you guys see your relationships here in this forum? Also, is anyone here friends both on- and offline

I will worship you forever if you help me out.

Well, the people I meet online are like sub-friends. I rarely get to know them -that- well, and usually don't really consider them real friends, you know? Just kinda, acquaintances or something. However, I like the people on this board a lot more than your typical net people, and so I consider you friends, but still not on the same level as a friend IRL... It's just.. different, ya know?

And no, I don't have any online friends that are also IRL friends.

thanks for the heads up chief, so once i saw a bear man and it too got me thinking of the dangers of eXtreme office work. ya got your sharp corners on the desks, the staplers that just seem to stand out more than anything else, and the burning cup of coffee right by the computer. now why a bear would attempt this i do not know

Yeah, I'm kinda in the same boat that disx is in. I'm getting to know a few people a little better outside of the Cult through AIM or something like that, but while these kids are great and I love 'em, they're no replacement for my friends IRL. I've only been here for 3 and a half months or something though, so who knows? Perhaps I'll be bestest friends with all these kids by the time I'm done here.

intellectually stimulating
constant one-upmanship, competition
frustrating, bewildering and at times downright puzzling
entirely superficial unless advanced to the next step
