Yes, I have a wide range of friends who are not on the staff. Am I going to name them here? I might but if I miss one out, it would be really bad

I also consider a lot of the employees that I work with in ACME close enough to me.
As for my best friend.....*hesitates* I don't know....I'd consider both Acclover44 (Cassi) and Cyartia (Alex) my best, closest, friends. I could tell them anything. Although both BonnieH and SmileNJenn have helped me in a lot of personal matters. Zwaalie too. Titan is great in talking about staff stuff. gggtownresident (Aisling) and Kharaya were both my first friends. Peter(01) always is great for a chat too. Steph is an awesome friend too....Let's just say that all my friends make me happy.

Uh... I don't think I have any friends on the Staff!!
Just kidding! I like to think I have non-staff friends but... maybe you'd better check with them.

Sure I have non-staff friends. Met many friends that eventually went on to become staff and met new ones when I joined the staff Still have friends that are not on staff. They're all great

Besides knowing a couple of staff members because of my working at give-aways, I really only became friends with the majority of the staff when I was scouted a week ago. Of course, that doesn't include Derie, who has been my best friend through many ups and downs and who I can tell anything too. She knows everything about me and I know everything about her. She was my first staff friend and for a long time, my only staff friend.
On the non-staff side of things, I gotta say there are some incredible members out there. Firstly, my longest and first true ACC friend is Townie. Her vampire mate better keep her happy, otherwise there will be some explaining to do. Townie is the reason for the TIC (Townie Impersonator Club) and was the first ACC member to be christened with an Alex-made nickname.
Shadie... well.. I cannot really describe our relationship. From Twilight debates to pebbles and wands.. we've talked about everything that's worth talking about. If I'm feeling down, chances are Shadie can make me feel happy with her random outbursts and font colour changes. I'm not gonna complain about her ability to work wonders with mark-up either.
There are so many more non-staff members who I love too. The only reason I joined the give-aways I did was to give something back to the community that gave me so much. That's also why I accepted the scout invitation. If you've been given a nickname ending with "ie" you know I love you too.

I have many friends that are not on staff. Like many have already stated, I don't really want to make a list for fear of forgetting anyone. Though to give you an example of a couple of my best non-staff buddies, I will link to the following pictures as hints:
Of course I do! I have loads of great buddies, and some that I've know for a long time. Unfortunately I've seen some great friends disappear or leave, but they'll always stay my friends. But of course I also have lots of friends on the staff, or who've been on the staff before. They're all fantastic.
