Why is it so hard to get a friend to chat with here?

Hi, I was just wondering how I could get social on chess.com since the find a friend button isn't working so we'll (for me that is)

It is actually easy, I got many friends. Just comment in public forums, and especially reply to a comment. By doing that very much, you will be able to get.

Yeah, just be active in forum and clubs. This is the best way, because in Chess.Com there is a lot of people just focusing in Chess, not talk

But you won’t get any members with membership as friends since the already have one

I guess nothing makes a better impression than a good chess bribe lol.

Having a profile pic of your face or pet or something might also help. Or a pic of a celebrity you like

"A pet"
