Who Are Your Friends On NGemu?

Who are the people that you have developed an online friendship with on NGemu? Of course we all chat with each other here but who are those people that you can consider your friends that you think are more than just a fellow member or people you would like to hang out with irl. I've read that members like Cid and industrian even hung out irl (if I'm not mistaken). Or people who you always talk to outside of the forum, like on irc or IM. For me, I've made some friends over in "the bin". They were people that I probably wouldn't really talk to regularly in the regular forums but since we've gotten the chance to chat without much limitation, I was able to see how cool they were because we've all talked the way we do around our real friends without worrying about censoring ourselves or being all proper. Now I can consider them my online friends. So what people do you consider your buds at NGemu?

There are not friends on the net, at least until I get access to the recycle bin section

Hum...I doesn't think that the word "friendship" can be really use in the net.But if one day I met theses guys IRL, I think we could become friends:

-Jonc2006, queen of douchebagness.I think we don't need a spam forum with this guy. Moreover he knows when to be serious and when to joke.

-Shendo. Simple and direct. He really like to help people, a quality I appreciate.

-Hushypushy. Just don't give a fu**. Want to tell something, he do.Irony is a second nature for him what I find cool.

-TCOS.Of course because you are damned sexy...( )

Now seriously, I read an essay a little while ago about how the threshold for 'friendship' was set a little lower for Americans than for other cultures. At the time I dismissed it as trivial, but I'm beginning to think otherwise

Ps: This is by no means a flame, it's just a reference that how the word friend means different things for different cultures. What Americans call friend, many cultures (Including but not limited to, the Mexican), just call them 'pal', 'someone I know' etc.

Agree with The Magic Hobo though I don't know anyone here in real life nor I know anyone in real life here
Perhaps someone here is a friend of yours/mine in real life just that you/I never know

Jonc and TCOS are pretty cool, I would consider them my Virtual Friends, as well as General Plot, Player-X, teh Mastah of Engrish Raksmey, Gilgamesh, Mogster, Refraction, Mirespank, industrian, Hushyblushy, Nevermore, Fadingz, Cid Highwind, bah too many to list.

How about everyone on this forum is my friend as long as they show intelligence above the level of the primate n00b threshold

You're even Cool, The Magical Homeless Man. Can you grant me my wish of infinite cheeseburgers or big Macs?

If I could meet you all in real life, I would. Believe it or not, last night I had a dream I met industrian and we had a beer or two and a conversation, except for some weird reason industrian looked like Cid Highwind

I wouldn't say I'm friends with anyone, but that certain peoples post stick out a lot more than others. Cid and industrian mostly because of the metalhead thread. Other's too as well, but my point got across

There's too many l33t d00dz on this forum to recall in one post, but one day I need to get karate lessons from Kaz Mishima, have a game of Ridge Racer with Samor and drink a few beers with Onslaught and Hushy.

Edit: Lest I forget Le Tank. But there's no way I'd go to Brazil due to the fact that Scotsmen melt at 36c.

It's your subconscious talking to you. It's telling you to drink more beer, listen to metal and grow long hair.

I don't really know anyone well enough to describe them with the word "friend" in real life, it's more acquaintances.
