It was like that on my last forum, which was a very long time ago. Most of those just wore their 'friends' list as a badge and thought they were popular because they had a huge list.
I can understand when a forum first opens and folk know others from way back ie from another forum or have a friendship history in real life - but these 'join then click people', who add 'friends' willy nilly are as bad as those who accept them. It's so false.
I never listed friends on there and don't do it here, p'raps that makes me unfriendly

It is a mystery to me why new members have friends for the simple fact is rules do not allow them to speak to each other for three months. Not very friendly is it for new faces, who soon buzz off to where they feel they are wanted.18-10-2016, 07:33 PM

Of course, it's best not to befriend any Tom, Dick or Harry but l think l'm old enough and ugly enough to be able to recognise the scammers!

Join the club.
Around half of mine never post now along with goodness knows how many others on the members list.
I hardly know any of them.
Why do they leave like that?
I have theories about it but best not say, otherwise I might be another member in The Forum Trash Can, and possibly recycled to Facebook or something even worse.!
