Would you say it's easy to make friends here? And what would you say about the quality of those friendships?

I personally think it is better to keep acquaintances and not get too involved or attached. You will enjoy the site better.

Easy depending on whether or not you are ok with acquaintances and well wishers. Deep substantive friendships, I wouldn't think so.

Expect nothing and get very little disappointments. Don’t hold on too tight. Most people are fickle and change with the wind.

i've had fights with half the people here but i lov em. We've been coming to this stupid website for years.

Easy? Not so much.
Quality = 2 on a 10 scale

But, your mileage may vary

I only have one friend.

Yes I find it very easy.
