does anyone actually add people??

does someone ever evoke enough interest that you want to talk to them on an IM program, or is the posting all you ever need?

[XxSephirothxX]

Very rarely, but the few times I've actually make the attempt to talk to someone, good things have happened.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I use instant messaging for alot of my offline friends, and a few of my online ones as well. I like it much better than PM'ing.

[Roto13]

I don't add people from here. I let them add me. Sometimes I regret that, but most of the time it's ok.

[Christmas]

I add people to my ignore lists.

[Araciel]

must be a big list

[Reles]

Usually if someone gets ahold of my messenger, I will bug them until they no longer want to talk to me. I am a viscious, annoying girl. I like talking to people anywho, it doesn't take much to keep me interested in any conversation.

[Araciel]

thats good i guess?

[Jowy]

I converse more on IRC than anything, really. The occasional IM happens once every so often tho'

[theundeadhero]

I have a whole <i>category</i> called EOFF on yahoo messenger for people from here.

[Nominus Experse]

I allow others to add me as they wish, as long as I have no ill feelings towards them; however, I am not one to add people to my list. Just isn't what I do, I guess...

[Jayden]

I allways add people, I just added someone about 3 min ago.....

[Polyonymous]

I rarely add people, though I have a few times. It doesn't normally go well. I don't like chatting in large chatrooms because I like to talk one on one with people... no distractions and such. Though, if I'm chatting with somebody I know a little bit about from the boards it is tough for me to keep conversation interesting. (kinda odd, yeah?)

[Germ Hamee]

I never add people, as I never use any of the above programs. Google Talk, ftw!

...even so, I would still wait to be added. There are definitely some folks here that seem interesting and cool, but I'm much too shy to actually IM someone. That would involve having things to talk about. =\

[Roogle]

I would like to add someone to my list, but I guess I think it'd be a little awkward to contact them directly. I don't have any pressing issues to discuss and there is no real reason to talk to them; maybe it's just a feeling that I have that I can't shake.

I don't know. I usually don't have a problem with these sorts of things, so it can prove to be a little difficult at times.
