I am a fan of the Dis and I know quite a few people from the WISH and Podcast boards in real life so I also have a lot of Dis friends. I do get quite a few friend requests from other Disney fan pages and podcasts. I assume they go through the member lists of places like the DIS and send requests because if we are fans of this forum we might be of theirs. Some I have accepted after checking out the page and some I have not.
