Well. I don't see how this is sad. At least we get to know things about each others which is a fun and positive thing in my book.
Plus, on a forum as large as this, one could figure that it's quite overwhelming and difficult finding friends and such. Sure, you could go to the IRC, but there's the fact one would first need to be comfortable doing it, and even then it's still very overwhelming in there.
Making a "Find a Friend" thread is a simple, easy alternative towards the ongoing subject of trial and error when looking for friends on a forum. Instead of knowing one specific thing about a person based on their posts, you can get a more fluid and in depth idea of who those people are like (assuming they're willing to participate and do so).
So, in the case of having no interest in it, why not just ignore it instead of saying how it's "sad" like some low life trying to impress a bunch of middle schoolers?
