How in the hell does this sort of thing happen? I don't understand how an e-relationship can develop nor do I understand how one can consider someone they only corespond with over the Internet as a best friend. Back in the day, I was really lonely. I just couldn't fit in with anybody around my area. But, I went online.. and suddenly, I was finding people to connect with. Sure, we couldn't hang out in real life due to distance, but the emotional connection was something I had longed for so long, it definitely did the trick. Once friendships become easy online, relationships are the next step. You start developing feelings for each other and bam... relationship. It definitely doesn't take the place of a real relationship, but... if it's all you seem to be able to get, you're going to take it. Granted, my social life has gotten considerably better over time... and while I'm not a social butterfly, and can pretty much name all my good friends on one hand... it's all I need and really don't go looking for friends online anymore. Granted, I'm not opposed to the idea... if something clicks, it clicks... but, I don't actively seek it out. With me, I never had an experience where I was deeply involved with someone and they turned out to be someone else. It was always somebody I considered a friend, turns out they send me a picture that wasn't them.... came clean, but yet... they didn't lie about their lives, just their appearance (sometimes age), and since I had no intention of meeting them in real life, I figured it wasn't a big deal.

Isn't someone here with shady pics and lot of people debunking her identity? I won't say names, I think you know who Im talking about. Oh yeah, that's always worth the entertainment. Also, in a similar vain, the dude who had an account that was obsessed with Alyssa Milano which got banned, then pretended to be a female and finally made another account which was allowed by the mods, only to start making threads with creepy pics of underage girls in bikinis, subsequently getting banned once again! He's probably been back since, but god if it isn't funny seeing him get caught out again and again! Previously banned members usually out themselves like that. It's always funny to see people "banned for no reason" fail to learn anything from their mistakes and just get caught again. They're rather fortunate we don't ban people publicly. The reasons are often rather... contrary to what they would cop to.

Nope. Never met anybody from online before. Not something I'd ever do.
