achbizgirl, I can only confirm what timbandit said. I too, have met most of my friends here on QL, granted that was several years ago, nevertheless, there are still some really nice people on QL.
As on every site, you will find all sorts of people, some you like to talk to, some you like to debate with, some you make fun of and some you just can't stand. Nothing unusual in that.
Anf if a person really needs help, he/she most certainly will find a helping hand on QL. This has never changed. One might have to sort through posts, but in the end, there will be people helping.
