Dunbar's number for Cantr

[haggismcbean]

7 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 0 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 1 - 3 - 3 - 0 - 0

That's a total of 30 people. But i'm a heartless bastard and care about less than that in real life so it's actually quite good.

1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

I only care about myself

Just kidding. I found this thread quite interesting, even if it is old, so here goes.

0 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 0 - 0 - 6 - 1 - 6 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0


22, but all are quite young.

Not so old. It still needs some more replies.

[Joshuamonkey]

I'd say 62, including people that I at least know the personality of.

3 - 16 (Doryiskom) - 3 - 8 - 4 - 4 - 7 - 4 - 6 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 2

41, 15, 42, 23, 1, 4, 42, 25, 10, 3, 10, 78, 33, 0, 30, 22, 62

So, do you guys think that online friendships (including Cantr characters) count against one's total cognitive capacity for maintaining social relationships? In other words, on average, would you expect people who know a lot of people online to have fewer quality face-to-face contacts? After all, there are only so many hours in a day, maintaining relationships takes time and effort, and every hour you spend online is an hour that you could (but not necessarily would) be spending in face-to-face interactions.

[SekoETC]

At least I have very little contacts outside the Internet, and outside Cantr. If I skip school, I might spend a day or more not seeing another person. I talk to myself though, and sing.

That's a good one.

I can say for sure that I can switch people from my foreground to my background to my oh-yes-I-know-him/her more easily. Which, considered the rate at which you usually contact new people thru the net, means that people known face-to-face have a harder time remaining in my attention-span. And that personally I dislike since I'd like to be knowing interesting new people face-to-face at the same rate than in the net.

I hope it's not that interesting people are more scarce today.
