In my experience the friends you make on a forum don't mean much.
If you are not a good writer you won't get a big rep. IMO

Dunno... Through this forum I have gone beyond being a name on someone's screen, and have actually made some real friends, for example, veruca... Met her this summer, and we have been in constant contact since, and I consider her a good friend of mine now.
Of course one good friend does not necessarily boost my "rep" with the forum, but I am not trying to get kudos or become the most popular person on this forum. It's just nice to have a place to share experiences, seek advice, and joke around comfortably on the internet.
