I always find it interesting how many people step outside of the forums they use and communicate through email, IMs, or other social network programs. So what say you?

I do not communicate with anyone outside of EF...this is a privacy decision, not because I hate you(s).

I am very very shy when it comes to initiating contact with people on the internet in a more private forum such as email or instant messengers. I'm also pretty bad at remembering to respond or being able to keep up conversations.

I am much better at these things in person.

I have a few that we exchange emails with or use the PM option. In that regard I have made some new friends and I hope to one day meet then if the fate's allow.

I'm pretty shy and careful with who I give even the most basic of IRL info to, but I'm definitely open to making new friends from the EF community.

I have a few I talk to on PM, and even a few I know on Facebook. Very few people, though, which is okay with me.

I communicate with a few members through Facebook and Twitter, and e-mail back and forth with another member. I would definitely love to get to know some of the awesome people here even better!

I'm super shy in person until I am able to open up a bit more, but online is all good! I talk to a few on Twitter, Chat or IM's. Very few know my real name, mainly only the ones who I have won a blog giveaway from.

I communicate with quite a few of you outside of EF.

I guess I'm quite shy, but I like the idea of opening up a little more.

I've spoken with a couple of people on twitter or on FB chat here on PM and even personal emails.

My desire for privacy has more to do with my family than with any of my friends, or any of you. I have a considerably judgmental, conservative family. (Aside from my parents, I don't think they care and have even made slight mention of receiving packages for review items and that any further info would be TMI.) They read my personal blog, so I just keep my sex/review blog separate from it. I probably shouldn't give a rat's ass what they think, but I try to keep from making waves (or gossip).

I speak to people all the time, I welcome it. Whether it be helping out friends or other members with reviews, or just having a conversation. If anyone needs help or wants to talk to me check my profile for my email

Other! I only very recently joined the community, but I am absolutely open to making friends here and communicating outside of EF. I think I've learned more about sex, life and love from friends I've made online throughout the past few years than I have from anyone I've known in my real life. I'm always welcoming new friendships. And I definitely hope to make some here!

There's a few that I've had real conversations with via PM, and a few more that I'm friends with on facebook and talk with that way. I've made a few awesome friends here.

I don't because I don't know anyone on here.

I just became a member a few months ago now, but I have not tried to communicate with anyone outside of the community. But I am not opposed to it, just haven't done it yet, and my life is very busy right now.

I'm always sitting on IM and sometimes an EF member or two might log on and we'll talk. It's fun!

Shy by nature, so I keep to myself.

I communicate with three people beyond the EF site via email. There are some people in the community, I would like to know better but time is my constant enemy.

I only communicate with EF employees concerning students or the video review program.

I voted other because A) I might be in contact with EF members and just not know it, and B) I'm not against being in contact with members outside of here, it's just that the opportunity has not arisen and that scenario wasn't on the list of options.

I am terribly shy but have talked to a few folks outside of EF. Mostly on twitter, but some through chat. I am so happy for it.

I wouldn't mind talking to people from EF...I'm just bad at initiating such things. I'm always looking for people to talk to online though.

I am just very awkward about initiating conversations and what not. I have a bad habit of assuming that noone wants to hear from me. Not that I wouldn't want to it's just I usually just wait for someone else to initiate things.

I started following folks here on Twitter and Facebook and I love chatting with them outside the forums. There are some awesome people here!

This thread makes me wonder if anyone's started dating (real life or long-distance) someone he/she met via EF.

True! What would be even cooler would be if people were friends or lovers and didn't know that they knew each other on EF.

You failed to mention you leave the country with her randomly sometimes, too

I talk to a few people off of Eden and I've made good friends because of it

I put other.. I'm friends with Jobthingy through my wife Raggedy, so I definitely communicate with other EF members on a regular basis, but not any I've met through the site.. which is what I'm guessing you're going for?

I have some people on Twitter, but we don't really communicate. I'm bad at making friends and initiating conversations with new people.
