Hello there.

Would it be possible to have a buddy list feature in the section where you send private messages? I saw that somewhere else, so I thought it would be great to have it here on The Zone.

I love the idea. It would save people a great deal of time, and you wouldn't have to go looking all over the site for a nickname or ID.

it's been rejected many times, it takes away from the communitty

I think it would be good to have a buddy list on this site.
then you can pick who you want to talk to.

It seems like a good idea, but some people go on about how it would prioritize the zone, and there would be cliques. Well, there are still cliques.

wonder woman is right we do have cliques here and it sucks

happy you can choose who to talk to anyway! all you have to do is send a message to the user

What's even better is that it's already been done on other open source systems, so porting the code might not be too difficult. I'd do it if I was at all a coder.

i think it would be nice but it might not pass. 1 if it did the premium would only get it. 2 the person watch if you have it is kind of like that. but i think its a great idea still.

it's a great idea, but the admin's and cl's don't want it, it, as I said, takes from the comunity aspect of the zone. Even though it's simple

then why haven't any of the admins or cls said anything about it?
