Over the past many weeks, I've had a number of comments and complaints regarding the Friends feature, notably with people feeling harrassed, others wondering why others are sending these, etc. A seemingly innocuous feature that seems to be causing a certain amount of consternation. For the moment I have turned the feature off. (What use it truly serves, I am unaware - there are no related features I've been able to discern.) If anyone has complaints, comments, pros, cons, whatever, post them here. I will re-consider as necessary.

i added people who i thought were interesting to my friend list. they have interesting things to say and i enjoy reading their posts. i liked it because i didnt have to search the member list every time i wanted to catch up on one of them, i had them neatly grouped on a single page.
i say keep it but if people have to waste your time and complain about something as simple as that then just delete it.

Re: Friends Feature
Amazing how easily offended or riled people are. If your skins is so thin that the friends feature gets to you, you need to get a life.

I like the friends feature and used it to invite friends. And I had a comment on a friend's invitation by a member/guest who is not on the members list. As a rather new member I didn't know what to think about a member who seemed not to excist.
