PM winging your way.
Anytime Snooze, but first I want to be on your buddy list. :wah:
lol. This is exactly what everyone said would happen, ruffled feelings.
Do what I did, Wolverine. Go to the master member list and go through all 62 pages, adding everyone who has more than 200 posts to your buddy list. You'll be real popular.:rolleyes:

I went to look at my list, Wolfy, and people I already had down previously as friends do not show up in the percentages. But they are on my friends list.
I'm still trying to make up my mind whether or not this is a High School "who is cool club". I've talked to several people for whom I have a lot of respect. I am thinking I will do it. I really feel uncomfortable with saying who I want on my buddy list or not - What if I miss someone I respect? I have NO problem with people I care nothing about.

not that i can't say much. I'm a Comic Book GEEK.
lol. It was the ONLY cool show in the 60's when I was growing up, at least the only one we could get in Montana.
Don't think of it as the cool club, Snooze. Think of it as "politics".:wah:
Anyhow, I don't think it matters much in the long run, we all know who we respect and who we don't. Everyone here is cool, it's only the occasional webscammer or member thief that we don't like.
And as for adding someone who doesn't add you, I'm sure it's just a matter of communication. I noticed a lot of people that I added don't have me, but then lots of people are just getting into this.
Personally, I think this might be a prelude to "grouping".
In other words, when the forum gets much bigger, (and it will with this new server) eventually, you may not be able to see or reply to those not of your "group".
Kind of a "forced ignore" if you will. That's a way of modding by format. That way, only people who like each other will group together, see each other's posts, and reply to each other. Anyone they don't like will be left out, but since there will be hundreds, maybe thousands of other members, who cares> They'll just make their own group... Hmmmm....that does sound like high school, huh?.:-2

HAHAHAHAH
I don't even have a clue how this all happened how did I get 100% I never ace a darn thing.
Only explanation I can think of is I replied to everyone who sent me a "be my friend" post. That has to be the only way I got there. Did you turn anyone down Wolver? I don't even know about this feature.
I remain sincerely
Obliviously yours,

lol. No, it's not that at all, Sunny! I really like you, it's just that if you look at the member lists, there's hundreds of people that post just a few posts, then are never seen again. I've been jilted too many times!
200 is my number for judging when someone is going to stay around and be friendly, that's all!
Jump in that Word association thread or post at Bothwell's, your count will skyrocket!:o

Yep... there is a VERY good reason for this. Just try clicking on the "groups" button in your profile. What you will find is that Tombstone's group is the only one available right now, but what is REALLY interesting is that you can only join that group wiht his permission. I imagine that something similar is going to happen for all of us in the future. Groups based on "buddy" lists.

I still remain clueless and guess I will just drift with the tides heheheheheOne day we will be all partitioned off and I will be wandering around aimlessly hehehehe Or one day I will get it ahahahaha
EVERYONE IS MY FRIEND invite or not.
�You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.�
What exactly does being in a " Group" entail? Are there perks, benefits? secret meetings? Health Insurance? Or is it like being a mason? ( which was a very hot topic here last year) Ive always shunned groups. A religious cult I belonged to in the 70s said that we were the only people going to heaven...... That seemed very lonely... During sorority pledging in high school I could only date guys from our brother fraternitys.... that was too limiting.......Should I reconsider? Tell me about the tombstone group... Im curious
