Friends, what is it for?
 

So with the recent forum chanes, I see this 'friends' things and I'm gettin requests from members to be their friend. What does this actually do, function, purpose benefits, etc.?

I wish I had friend requests :(.. must hit 13,000 posts!

its to Create your own Clique.... You knoww, sorta like HIGH SCHOOL? xD

This forum will now be known as RotarySpaceBook, its powered by Facebook and Myspace!

I have noticed that if you have a friend that is in the currently active users at the bottom of a thread or the main page that is online they will have a "+" next to their name. Other than that, not sure.

BTW, thanks for being my friend T.

LOL, you're welcome Ian. Glad to have you as a friend too. I still think there's more to it than us old guys who didn't grow up with comps as a teething aide understand yet. In the old format, on the main page was a list of everyone online, click on that for thier profile and it showed what thread they were on. I suppose this does the same thing, only different. What I did notice is a message box, is that interactive in real time, such as MSN Messenger?

lol i guess its like a myspace or facebook but i guess its easier for people to contact you instead of looking you up
