Hey Joe. Pulled this from the Sticky.


Hello Maters!

We have some new features that have been added to our site. Here is a list of what you can now do as members:

Reciprocal Friendships Between Users
As part of our new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.

Virtual bonding???

But I'm still wondering how this is different than sending a PM??

I think it's the second half of the sentence.

after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.

Sounds like the Mater has become "MySpace"-ized.

It's different because you are not saying anything when adding a friend like you would in a PM. It is like myspace......Shannon even commented in the myspace thread in the lounge that we have the same thing going on here.

I've been trying for a week to get Paris Hilton on my list but either she is ignoring me, don't want to be on my list, or is too busy doing what she does best....

 

[You!]

Nothing personal Paul, I just think the whole idea is a little weird.

But, then again, I'm old and don't get the whole MySpace thing either.

I do have an ipod though...

 

[PJ]

Wait a minute I don't want people knowing that I associate with some of you
