Hey FurAffinity?

I'm fairly new here, and thus, I have fairly noob question..

*How does one acquire a ton of friends/watches?*

Seriously! It seems like every page I go to, that person has at least 50+ friends-- even if the account is either inactive, or only being used to favorite things.

I have 16 watchers at the moment, and seriously, I couldn't be more grateful for those of you who have graciously befriended me and are willing to allow me the privilege of pouring my silly art into your inbox. (Really, it means a lot.. over on dA I have like 6 friends, and with all due respect to modesty, I couldn't ever understand how people who drew anime stick figures had like 1,000 watches and I had.. well.. 6).

I completely understand if it's a case of not being a fan of the art (because understandably, we're not all fans of everyone's work!), but I'm just curious to know how I might be able to expand the variety of furry friends within the community. (I really like it here, and I enjoy meeting new people, so the more the merrier!). :)

Anyhow, I appreciate any responses and advice as to how to go about making more furry friends.. it means a lot!
