    I know this question has been asked before. But how exactly do you make friends on this site? I would like to make some new friends. Also, what are some ways that you have made friendships on this site? I'm asking out of curiosity. I am open to making new some friends on this site. I hope there is some positive energy.

    Hey welcome! You can send a friend request to people or just talk to them in threads or on their wall.
    I sort of just fell into a friendship on this site around the time I joined, we had a conversation and then we just continued it.

    I've found it difficult to have conversations with people. It would be nice if there was some kind of room open to everyone rather than a deserted chat room for only full members

    Try finding someone you have some things in common with, it makes conversation much easier.

    I agree with you. If there were notifications of messages sent to each user, that would make the site more convenient. If there was a room open for everyone, that would be convenient as well. Do you want to be friends?

    We're aware of that and working on it. The chat room is deserted because it only supports Flash, which most people don't have on their phones. Our new platform, whenever it is finally ready, will support chat on mobile devices. It will still be limited to full members, but should dramatically increase chatroom activity.

    Hi Ljjgreat2017,

    try to welcome new members. I always do this, it's interesting (and they also write something about themself). You might find someone who appears to be somebody you want to talk to.
    Until then I could be someone to talk to :slight_smile: But since I'm not sure if you want to talk to me (because we might be different (Gender as well as orientation), I'm just waiting for your friend request ^^)

    I wish you all the best (and the best friendships here (&&&) )

    Making friends on here is easy, respond to others' posts on this forum. If you find you like someone's posts, click on their profile write on their wall. Ask them questions, find out about them and tell them about youself.

    Hi there!

    You actually get notified of private messages (full members only) or if someone wrote on your wall. Just be careful about sharing personal stuff on your or someone else's wall because everyone can see it, and once you're a full member, you need to be careful about sending personal contact information via PM too, since the EC staff can scan through PMs and there may be repercussions if off-site contact information is shared there, or anywhere else for that matter :slight_smile: I sent you a friend request too (*hug*)

    Oh and another thing: If someone posted a message on your wall, and you want to post a reply message on their wall, you need to click on the "view conversation" link. They won't be notified of replies that you sent to them unless it's posted to their wall. Have fun, I hope you make many friends soon :thumbsup:

    If I'm not mistaken, it's perfectly fine to share off-site contact details to other members in private messages, just not on the forums or in wall messages. I've exchanged contact details with a few members and even remember skyping a guy I met on here years ago. So I'm pretty sure that's fine.

    As for the original poster's question on how to make friends, just talk to people. Like 'guitar' said, if you write a message on someone's wall and ask a few questions, usually they'll answer and ask questions in return. And voila: a conversation is born :wink:

    I guess you just talk through comments/posts with other people and once you (and the other) become a Full Member, you can exchange off-site info with each other via private messaging (just make sure you trust that person though). I think that's how it works, I haven't really made any from this site but I'm sure it goes something like that.
