I think it's possible to make friends on the internet. I have made a lot on twitter and facebook. I haven't met anyone in here, but there are people i like.

I have friends on the Internet who are just as important as my real life friends. I have friends on this forum who have been wonderful friends to me.

Definitely, I've made around 9 or 10 really good online friends, I met up with one last July, I currently host a podcast with one of them and will be meeting in December and I've spoken to one literally every day for the last 2 years, recently my friend has moved to uni, so I speak to her online now and it feels the same, I like to treat them equally as I've grown close to all of them.

Plus I only really have one friend in real life now and even her I can't really be myself to

I've met a load of my online friends(about six off this site alone) but I still have online friends I've yet to meet and would consider friends. One of my online friends, Cate, I would consider one of my best friends besides the fact I've never met her(she's coming over from America next year, eeek).

But we talk daily(in the year we've been speaking there's been 10 days if that where we've not touched base), Skype weekly, tell each other everything and understand each other better than anyone and yet because there's an ocean in the way it's not considered as valid a friendship to some people? It's strange.

Anyway, yes I consider online friends as important as real life friends.

Well, I met my wife online (a student forum) and we talked exclusively online for 14 months before we met so I guess that counts? We talked all day every day for over a year. Literally all day. Like... 12 to 14 hours... And my friends used to go mental at me when we were out as I was always on my phone. Haha... We watched films and TV together as dates and everything. Excellent students both of us, you can tell, didn't skip all my classes because I was too busy chatting all night or anything...

I've had plenty of other forum buddies over the years, only one I'd consider an actual friend, given that we talked on MSN almost daily for something like 9 years, and have been talking overall for almost 11. I'd call it a sort of online siblingish relationship. Have sort of lost touch since MSN went down the pan, though... Which is sad, really, as she probably knows me better than the majority of (if not ALL of) my real life friends. And certainly better than my actual sister does.
