I am not really a fan of  honorifics, myself, but a lot of people use -san, -chan, etc. because it works for them. Usually, they are only used between close friends but they usually clog up the roleplay. For instance, you would not refer to one of your friends as "Mr. Johnston", you would simply call him "Paul" (or whatever his name is).

However, you are more than welcome to use them if you would like to; plenty of people tend to use them here.
