My advice for making friends. Play quizzes on things that you like, and compliment the authors on their quizzes. If you are friendly, someone will probably ask you to join their friends group, and you can talk to all of their friends on the group's message board. It isn't very hard, but you have to be willing to pay attention to them by playing their quizzes, reading their posts, and answering them.
Friendships do also develop over time, but if you have something interesting to say, everyone will listen.
