I communicate with Zero sometimes when playing a game via the 3DS if we both have a game that we can communicate in. Otherwise tnfs is the only means of communication I have with any of the members here seeing as I'm not a member of any other forum that any members would be a member of (atmo of posting lol). Btw: I found the forum through google; no one told me about this forum otherwise. :3
Not unless you count communication with other members through email (which I rarely do anyway). Otherwise, no. I suppose I have talked to Polar, Queen, and Gameguy in Animal Crossing...
Yes. I'm a member of Queen's rp1p forum & a few others that she's a member of. But I also know her irl. Every one else I have no other contact with outside of tnfs.
Used to with Unknown through various non forum means. That hasn't happened since March. Luma on MPL on occasion.
Other than that, not really. I keep my IM clients for those I keep in touch with on a regular basis (and besides I never really integrated myself into the TNFS community, even back in 2012, pitiful I know)
