"There's daggers in men's smiles." - Donalbain, Macbeth, Act II, scene iii

Why is the apartment only locked when it's necessary to the storyline?...

... I jest. This thread is not about the TV Show, 'Friends'. But rather, it is to provoke thoughts about some of the relationships that you've developed with others on Bungie.net.

This is a ballpark figure, but I firmly believe that at least 90% of the active Bungie.net members have made 'friends' on this forum. My question is this: do you consider them to be real friends, or are they merely people that you share a few common interests with on a website?

My time on Bungie.net has reached an accumulative 1367 days. During that time, I have made countless friends, all of whom I consider to be real, tangible friends. I have met some of my best friends on this website, and I hear tale of two Bungie.net members engaging in an involved romantic relationship.

Where do you stand on this subject?

Yes, I've made life-long friends here.

Indubitably. After perusing your eloquent and veracious statements, I pondered the posed question and determined that I have amassed quite the reasonable amount of close friends via my presence in this community.

  • 04.10.2012 2:44 PM PDT

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

I've made several friends from HLG. I do consider them to be real friends.

I've made some people laugh, some people angry, and annoyed some people but I have managed to make a couple friends and I consider them to be real friends.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

You get out of this community what you put into it. If you're willing to open up a bit, of course you can have real friends.

I have many friends from Bungie.net. I just met up with one of them last week while they were visiting Washington DC, and I'll be hanging out with several more at a LAN party in a few weeks. And then, of course, there is PAX, which now becomes one of the things I most look forward to every year.

Some people prefer to stay anonymous and "online," and that's fine, of course. But I've found it fun and rewarding to actually go out and meet other people from the community.

If I ever met any of you fine chaps, I'd take you out for a drink. The Bungie community sure is special.

I'd call some of the people I've met on Bungie.net a friend; but I've never met an online friend in real life...

Hmm I'm more of a lurker, although I'm posting and talking to people on Bnet more often nowadays.

Haven't met anybody on Bnet apart from the guy who introduced me to it.

I've made friends on this site, but I've never been able to meet anyone, since I've never been in the same area as anyone (as far as I knew).

I've made a lot of friends on this site; I value the friendship I have with my closest online friends just as high as I value my "IRL friendships" - of course, I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot of them, now, so they are no longer "online friends."
