It's because friendship requires something that forces people into small group consistently for a while. /vrg/ is just casual aquaintancy. There's too many people and there's no barrier to stop anyone just moving elsewhere within the group. Very few log in regularly or even on a schedule. No-one knows if someone is missing because there's a problem or because they have something better to do. It's essentially like having casual sex and wondering why you don't have the fulfillment of marriage.
