Perhaps he just likes bacon.
Maybe he was just a ham.

Sounds like the same person.

He also had been through my profile, though never sent me a request.
I remember someone else doing this a few months back, too.
Mups, l have just looked at your page but the name doesn’t appear on your list but does on Judd's and Morticia’s.

Their profile page has now been deleted.

Pauline, Having been on forums for some years now, you can sort of suss out the genuine and the scammer types who request your friendship.
Especially, when they request your friendship as soon as they join the site and haven’t even posted.

I like to think that most of us consider everyone on the forum to be friends. It's certainly the way I feel about the membership.
I feel the same, it is a forum where everything is public I have always deleted friend requests, never made any and don't accept PMs. I hope it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings but that is the way it is.

If anybody really wants to get in touch it isn't too hard to email me but they would have to make a slight effort to find my email address.

I do still have one FB friend from a now defunct forum.

Re: Friend Requests...

i feel the same way bruce, being a friend on an internet site means nothing, but some look at it the more friends you have the better the image. Hope i dont offend anyone if i refuse a friendship request

Re: Friend Requests...

I am quite happy to accept friendship requests from established members. Would not feel insulted if someone turned a request from me - it has to be a two-way street.

I appreciate the PM facility as well - but there are a couple of members whom I would like to PM who currently have it switched off!

Re: Friend Requests...

Nope, never get any, good or suspect ones. Maybe because I don't spend as much time in here as I once did. Could be cos Covid is taking over the world. Take care and stay safe my friends and other strangers.

Mine must have been refused then. I requested it only because you asked in post#2.

I'm off to cry into my coffee.
