I totally understand forum friendships.
Ive been a member here for 9 years, and for the first 7 I was ADDICTED to this place. MY post count doesn't reflect it because in 07? the forums were hacked and everything got deleted. But at the time I had about 11,000 posts. And I had lots of forum friends. Our own
@derspatz even wrote a blog post about me being "Queen Bee" here

. When I had a baby 5 years ago, the regulars here all chipped in and I received the most awesome nappy cake to my door. Ive been to 2 fellow forum members wedding. In fact they met on here. When my marriage broke down 2 years ago, the support I was shown from my forum friends was almost equal to my real life friends. And I have many of those ppl on my facebook. If an interstate bbba'er came to Melbourne we'd catch up for coffee, Id say if personally met about 8 of my forum friends from here.
So my question is... if you guys were all so friendly and chummy..... how do you not even know CameraShy1's real name? Or have her on fb?
ETA: and quite frankly... its weird coming back and being a nobody LOL
