what's the point of the friend request?

kristop64089 · August 20, 2008, 07:15 PM

really, what's it do?

does ANYONE know?

WINSTON THE WOLF · August 21, 2008, 10:53 AM

? where here?

**Mal H** · August 21, 2008, 03:58 PM

kristop, we're kinda wondering about that also.

I guess it's an enhanced "buddy" list.

Winston - look at anyone's public profile page other than your own, it's on the right/center.

Playboypenguin · August 21, 2008, 04:00 PM

Don't worry too much about it. It's not like a guy such as yourself is very likely to ever have any friends anyway.

kristop64089 · August 21, 2008, 05:34 PM

PBP, your lucky name calling is out...that hurts

I am really here to make friends....
I don't need you guys anyway

**JohnKSa** · August 21, 2008, 11:35 PM

So far I've only seen one TFL member who has any friends.

Kinda sad...

**Mal H** · August 22, 2008, 01:14 AM

We must be the ultimate aloof group!

Playboypenguin · August 22, 2008, 03:07 AM

Is "aloof group" latin for "friendless losers?"

kristop64089 · August 22, 2008, 07:26 AM

And for the record, I have: 2,deuce,dos, thats right Two friends

.

I think I am going to make it a point to request everyone I can, as a friend. That would make me the most popular guy here. And then when I'm long gone, ya'll can look back in retrospect, and wonder why I was so popular.

Hey! I have my friends. In fact, someone spoke to me just a couple of days ago ...

Actually it's a term used most often by benchrest shooters when they find a wiggly scope mount.

"That's quite aloof group you shot there. You need to tighten up the scope rings."

Ok, that's two TFL members I know who have friends now, pax's protest notwithstanding.

**Shane Tuttle** · August 22, 2008, 09:37 PM

I can vouch for Kristop's claim.

I been experimenting with it. Instead of filtering through the long list of names to see who's logged in that I enjoy reading their posts, I tag them as friends. It's faster for me. Also, it gives me an indicator if they're online we can actively PM each other instead of waiting for the next day for a response.

kristop64089 · August 23, 2008, 10:01 AM

Good to know my 1st friend showed up on my behalf

I think if I start requesting friends, they will begin to think I am a narcsosistic, ego-maniac....which may be true, but is noone's buisness but mine.

...

Wildalaska · August 23, 2008, 10:56 AM

even i have a friends list...

And the other TFL member with friends checks in to say "Hi!" to the friendless ones....

"Narcsosistic"? Is that a person who does drugs, but they think they look really good doing it?

Sorry, that one was impossible to resist!

See jabs like that, are why you guys don't have friends

I NEVER taunt my fellow TFL'ers

grymster2007 · August 27, 2008, 04:38 PM

Can I request that I be my friend?.... probably the only way I'll get one...

OK scrap that! I don't want me as a friend. I wouldn't even live with myself, but every time I go home, there I am!

grymster2007 · August 27, 2008, 04:41 PM

I just tried it and got the error "You can't be friends with yourself."

Guess the system knows me well enough.

Wildalaska · August 27, 2008, 05:23 PM

I'll be your "friend", sweetie *wink wink*

However, with enough pruno and you shaving very close, we might get something going.

BTW: Somehow winks, getting called "sweetie" and drinking pruno seem not at all incongruent with being your friend. One could probably find themselves getting traded for a pack a smokes and being passed around like a peace pipe, not all that unusual also!
