Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback
Just wondering how people would feel about having a friends feature. We may be a small community, but I think it'd be nice to be able to add people as friends. You could make profiles private, that way if you didn't want to show up on someone else's profile, say someone who's profile isn't labeled private, you'd only show up to them as being a friend of there's when they log in (& go to their profile page), but you wouldn't show up when other people went to visit said profile page.
Hope that makes sense & that the topic hasn't already been posted before.
If anyone needs clarification just ask.
I think the idea has been suggested before. I don't think the majority liked it on here.
I think it has been too, but I like the idea. You could just show your friends things like your blog (if you're a premium), your board posts, your profile, etc.
i'm against this idea, firstly i'm not sure how it would work given the structure of the site and the fact you can just send messages to who ever you want in a list
and secondly, i think it kind of destroys the idea of the zone, you make friends and talk together so i don't see it happening
That's why I say said person could be on a friends list, but could somehow be blocked from showing up to just any random person. They would only show up to the person who added them as a friend. (Bearing in mind that they liked said person & wanted to be their friend in the first place).
I'm torn on this one. In a way, I like the idea; sometimes it would be nice to have your profile only viewable to certain people. But then again, I like the site the way it is now; and if you don't want people seeing certain things in your profile, just don't put them in there. I took my messenger addresses out ages ago because I didn't want random people adding me, and now if I want someone to have that info, I give it to them.
I think the idea sounds like a good one, even if it were only offered to premium members. I think it would make it easier to locate certain friends and even meet new ones from former friends.
of course I would love the people you may know feature.
Yes!! Finally some backing here! I love you both! Lol.
hmm, this has been suggested before, and from what I remember it was shot down due to it being a popularity contest, but as an aside, I do like the idea.
That's one of the reasons it was shot down, yeah. The popularity contest issue. Sites like myspace have millions of people on them, but the zone is still only a growing community, with only a few thousand active users, tops. That's why there'd be no justification for this idea in my opinion. Not at the current time. Maybe later on down the line when the community grows even bigger, but not now.
I don't see/view it as a popularity contest personally. I have 36 friends or so on myspace, & most of them are bands. If I don't regularly communicate with someone, I just don't add them. Simple as that.
Anyone who's that concerned is too immature in my opinion.
hmmmm, I don't like the idea. Like someone said before, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of being on here. i'd say if you didn't want to talk to someone, just don't talk to them, done deal!
And I personally enjoy viewing other people's profiles, so I think that would kind of make it borring. Myspace is borring anyway.
This still confuses me.
It could be a popularity contest, it could make profiles boring, how?
Just wondering, because I'm not getting it.
