Hi my name is Matt and I joined about two weeks ago and I am trying to make new friends if anyone would help me it would be greatly appreciated

Just hang around here, you will soon make friends.

Alternatively you could check out the special interest groups, see the link at the top of the page in The Lounge. If you are also a member of the other part of the site, the quizzes, chat boards, Ask FunTrivia etc then you could find the chat boards helpful. If you are not already a member 'over there' just click HOME at the top of the page and register there, use the same name as you use here to make life simple, then follow the registration instructions. It is free unless you wish to have the benefits of a Gold Membership, you will read about those - more statistics etc.

NB. You need to register also to join the special interest groups, forum membership doesn't work there (see above). The two registrations then take you everywhere at FunTrivia.
