I have friends from IRC and a fandom listserv I was on about 20 years ago. It's so easy to retain internet friends because so many of us wind up on the same services (and we never really leave the internet—a person I knew from a freaking Prodigy bulletin board is a FB friend). And if you retain one friend, so and so will know where so and so went or what name they're using now, etc. But things change about the community, or its location shifts, or just... life! I'd love to see interactions come back to the journal format, though. I think it's so much more intimate than any of the other options out there.
