I've joined a couple of similar Russian Web sites promising recreating severed ties with your long lost schoolmates and university chums... Found dozens of them, wrote a short story of my life - "lived, moved, emigrated, developed, no kids so far" and it appeared that we have nothing more to tell each other about. When you aren't with people for that long - especially if they are in a country long abandoned by you - you don't share common interest anymore.
I know some of my classmates who I suffered some major bullying from, are long ago dead -- their life was "bright and short", in fact dull and short; I couldn't help but feel some sense of the Higher Justice happening (not one and not two of these bullies had died within 10 years of finishing school) -- even though I didn't really wish them anything.
Anyway, so far, number of rekindled friendships and love relationship: Zero.
