Category: Let's talk
I was curious about how many people on the zone would like a buddy list. In this way you could chat with whoever you wanted to.Let me know what you think of this idea.Carol
I think it's a great idea myself, you could maybe have it so that you could quicknote anyone who is on your buddy list.

I like the idea, but I can't see the admins going for it. They say it'll wreck the comunity. They can at least give it a try, if it doesn't work they can take it away.
I agree, people will always find a way just to chat with their friends, they pretty much do that anyway.
wonderwoman
yeah
Thanks to all who replied to the buddy list.I do think this would be a good idea if we can get it off the ground.Carol
Well, I think all we can do is to keep bringing it up. I'm one of the best for doing that because I love bringing old and buried topics back up to the top. For obvious reasons, at least reasons that are obvious to me, I can't get the full enjoyment out of public qns. Private qns are good, but people pm you and say they're here, and when you turnprivate quicknotes on, they are sometimes so heavily into multitasking, they just leave you hanging there wondering if they're going to ever respond again or what? If I'm talking to 3 people at once, it's ok, because then I can answer the ones who are more responsive and forget the person who just stopped responding without so much as a good bye. Qns can be very time passing and enjoyable at times, and at times not. I feel having a buddy list and having people you most enjoy talking to on your buddy list would make quick notes so much more enjoyable. As it is now, what I do is when I turnquick notes on, I read the private quicknotesat the top, Then press letter to jump straight into the edit field, then just read the public quicknotes while I'm waiting for the people i'm talking to privately to respond. People mostly talk to their friends only in the public quicknotes anyway. It'd be easier than going in to your account and changing all those settings so much. i know there is block mass quicknotes, allow all quick notes, and block all quicknotes. To this could be added, buddy list only. Thanks so much happy for a wonderful idea.

Oops, major typo, I meant, allow all quicknotes, block mass quicknotes, and block all quicknotes. Anyway, I love this idea so much.
wonderwoman
hmmm nice idea... but... i dunnow... I aggree with kt, but yet I kinda disagree with the idea
well I'm 100 percent all for it. it would save a lot of time turning them on and off again

well happy, I still think this is a fantastic idea.
Problem is, then people will form their own groups, not that they don't already, but I'm totally against it. If you want a buddy list, get AIM or MSN or wome messenger program like that, there's your buddy list. I like the community feel of the zone and a buddy list on the zone would completely ruin that. I dont' see why turning quick notes is a problem, just dont' pay attention if you don't want to or ignore those you don't like.
well I do, but jaws reads old messages over and over again on aim, only have 5 people on yahoo. It would just be easier than turning them on andoff all the time, which is what I'm roughly doing right now. I sawone of my chat buddies on quicknotes, so i turned them on, but when I turned them on and sent him a private qn, he was gone, so back in to my account settings, and back off with them again.

and I can't use msn messenger anymore anyway.

I really really think we need a Buddys List so we can pick who we want to talk to.
Carol
that's so true, after all, the public notes are a bit cliqish, and the ones who don't want to use it don't have to, they can just go right on. I mean, people look for those who they are chat compatible with, and I for one, like to talk to people elsewhere before I add them to my messenger lists, to see if we have enough in commonbefore I add them. People may not like, or be able to use aim or yahoo messengers for one reason or another. I don't want to put people onignore, just for private noting me first, then just dumping me without so much as a, have to go, or because they take what feels like 20 to 30 minutes to answer my last quicknote. If they do it, when they're the ones who started the qn conversation in the first place, sure, it's irritating and annoying, but not offensive, not really enough to totally block them. I only have 10, correction, 11 on aim, and 5 on yahoo messenger, and sometimes I think people like to add people just for the sake of saying, I have 147 contacts on this or that messenger, that's not for me.
wonderwoman
I like the idea kinda just because it would be cool but I do kind of think it'll split up the community. However I think it would be cool to have a buddylist, in the sense thaty ou could easily remember who yoru zoner pals are if you need to contact all of them about something.

I don't think it would mean no one would use the public notes anymore, I mean there are already people who do it, and the ones who use the public qns all the time wouldn't even know the difference. I mean, if people are going to just not talk to someone because they're not part of their group, they could just put them on ignore as soon as they sent them a note anyway, it would be the same thing.

a buddy list on here would give us the best flexibility with quicknotes, allowing us to get the most enjoyment out of them without having to put so many folk on ignore.
wonderwoman
I most definitely like the idea.
personally I can't see the point. you can't quicknote people unless they're on line anyway, if you don't wish to participate in public discussion you can turn off mass quicknotes but can still send and receive private ones, and if you can't remember who you talk to on the zone then you obviously don't talk to them regularly enough that you'd add them to a buddy list anyway.
Thank you so much Colbygarrison, another one for our side. Well, Sugar baby, private notes are ok, but I just got frustrated with people who would qn me for a second, then stop answering me when I started talking to them, and when I'd be waiting for them to respond, I'd look and see where they are, and they'd be in a game, I mean, that's ok, but at least they could let me know, instead of me wondering if they're through yet. I sort of grin and bare it if I'm the one who qned them first, but when people quicknote me first, then just quit responding when I ask a question, or not so much as a, have to go, that's a bit annoying. Since I have a memory like an elephant, I can remember who I have and haven't talked to on quicknotes before. If I had a dollar for every time I've said hi to someone on public quicknotes, and they ignored me, I'd have enough money to buy a restaurant. I standby my statement that the mass majority who mostly use public quicknotes wouldn't know that much difference.

lets see here we have people who want it and those who do not. so i say we do not do the budy list because i agree that the coomunity up badly worse than it is at this point we have people who just dont talk to people they come here strictly to play the games then we have people who just cannot grasp that they have no clue i will admit i have been there no clue is when you just put something out there with out looking at things clearly or people who just have too over state there position I will post this only once to give my people here an example to go by if you repeat yourself people do not listen and dont give me any crap about age I know from 19 years trust me if you repeat your self you are more likely to be seen as over bearing and ignored. ok, I have said my peace so laters.
well obviously you listened or you wouldn't have replied, laters,
