You also never know when a friendship will spring up, or what you will end up with. I've developed great relationships just by posting, and by other means (Twitter, a little Facebook, AIM). I've gained a custom pair of Converse shoes, several people who give great advice, an appearance at a demo, and several fun hours of playing Pokemon TCG, among other things. This doesn't even include the friendships I know I'll keep for a lifetime, the insights I've gained about all aspects of FIRST, and the changes in my personality.

Basically: stay involved, make friends, and dnt' sp33k liek dis pl0x
