I have picked up only a few friends on SW. That is my choice as the bonds here are far less than those on EP. Those few know who they are. Now I have friends from EP who came here and I would say I have known them for over 10 years! Some I hear from occasionally, some more frequently, and others rarely. Each of them is dear to my heart. Times have changed over the years and so have people and connections. I do not spend much time on here as I have other priorities now. I couldn't have made it this far without my EP friends and my SW ones as well. I think of each of them with love and respect and gratitude. I like to think if they are gone, it is because they don't need this site anymore and life has treated them well.

I have been friends with someone on here for over 9 years, although for the past 8/9 months i have not heard from him. I lost his number on my phone and he has not replied to my message on here so i will wait for his contact. I was distant after my dad passed, chatter was not something that came easily to me.

I am also super close to 2 others on here. They are strong women who have supported me through some really hard times. We are in touch more off SW now and i am so grateful to have found them.

I was young when I first joined and wasn’t the greatest person, so I didn’t make too many friends. I’ve changed a lot over the last few years and have been building some much better friendships. One or two people have been regularly commenting on my posts and they’ve helped me become a better person through doing so. People have moved from this site over the years and I do miss some of them.

Two of the closest friends I had here, whom I met 16 years ago on EP, both passed away in 2023. But there are still other old friends (and new ones) with whom I touch base regularly. And I always look forward to seeing them.

I hope this finds them.

There’s one person from my chat room days that joined the site. He’s active-ish and I’ve known him a ridiculous amount of time.

There’s another I know from EP days who I still chat with here and there. Think it’s been like a 10 year whatevership that we’ve had.

Oldest friend here was from before SW started, we're still on speaking terms but she lives in a turbulent country. I'm pretty much not that good with close cyber friends, mild intensity friendliness is best all round.

I joined EP August 2012, there's a few here I know since then

I've been friends w someone from EP for over a decade. We use to talk everyday for years!

I have been friends with a person for at least 10-12years back from Yahoo answers days

Yes, he is a decent person

On here nothing because people go online off line its not stable but I recently reconnected with a middle school friend so that would be my current longest friendship but she lives six hour drive from me.

I've only been here a little over a year . HowToDestroyAngels was my 1st friend.

3 years ( i haven't been here much longer than that)

Yes, even more important now.

I only talk to one person here. That's mostly because of that person ability to continue it. I am so acward socially and remarkably boring.

I met my current partner here 7 years ago or so, although he left shortly after.

There's a few from EP I've been pals with 11 years

i've know people on here from ep before sw but i wouldn't say i was close friends with anyone

There were a couple friendships that lasted a couple years. The rest are just acquaintances that come and go.

7 years, we still speak often.

I started talking to Lissa in the second week of joining so since 2018.

My wife, we started talking ep in 2013.

Post the name, maybe that person can log in their alt to chat again. ;)

Around 15 years, and yes, it is.

10 years

Longest is probably 2 months, a friendship not a relationship

One from EP days and 2 from SW.

Prolly Ab Fab, Ruby and booker.

They been here since nearly day dot and got here soon after.

22 years, not going on she died

The closest relationship has been going on for four years.
