We often read or listen that friends are priceless. There's not a single value that can be tagged on friends (be it good or bad friends).
But yet, I recently read that people ARE paying to get their friends.
Nowadays community sites are growing bigger and bigger. More and more people get to know each other in these sites, and it was really a great way to get new friends, across the nations. Yet, paying in order to know one? It's more likely buying yourself a friend. And worst, a virtual friend that is.
I remember I used to post a lot in community sites. Most of the time, these sites kept a record of the number of posts, normally viewed as how popular or your status in the community. Sometimes they also grant you some virtual money (buying some virtual stuff?) and charma (for popularity, again). I used to keep posting useless post all over the place, such like "Thank you", "Hi there", etc, in order to push my post's numbers. Rethinking now, it was more or less a stupid action to do so.
Nowadays some of the community site that I kept visiting are HongFire (for Hgame and Jgame news), Anikei (for Nipponsei release and anime chit chat), and of course, my own community site. Although I'm not pretty much of a poster, yet, I don't think I'll pay real cash (ever) just to get myself popular.
