Even that one person who now has over 1000 friends? That request will sit in my pending thingie for a good long while.

Yup.  Totally mad!!!

How can one resist that kitty? :biggrin:

Everyone in their right mind wants to be Acadia's friend!! "Cause she's supernice.
So either that person accidently hit the wrong button or he's just plain weird.

The only reason I didn't ask her was because she probably is getting hundreds of requests.

Who has 1000 friends? basically, I know almost everyone who 'friended' me or their avatar looks  familiar.

1000 friends?? :blink:

I dunno.  I just accidentally "unfriended" someone that I added myself, LOL.  She'll forgive me, cuz I'm cute :P

"Store Staff" has: 73,844 Friends.
Man, that's a lot of customer service!!!
"I thought we were friends, don't I get a discount???"

73,000 friends??!! Oh no, no, no...sompin' just ain't right about that! :lol:

Sounds like party time to me. Who's bringing the bevvies? heh.

:woot: It's a conspiracy!!!  :woot:

Wow.  I wish I was a marketplace, now.  The true path to having gaggles of friends!

Not that I want gaggles of friends.  What in the world would I do with them?  Privacy flies out the window, there's always someone hanging out on the couch, sleeping in the shower, barging in at all hours to raid the kitchen.  No, not for me.  

Hmm.

On the other hand, if you had 73,000 friends that would be 73,000 meals to cage and 73,000 computers with Poser goodies to raid. 
Think of all the money you would save!

Is the marketplace really into me or does it just like me for my money?

73,844 Friends. Hmmm...now that's interesting. Every member was given a home page. Store Staff showed up as a friend on every member's home page, which means...there are actually 73,844 site members, give or take a few that may have decided to remove the store staff as a friend. Hah! The mystery is solved! People have been trying to figure out how many members there are for years and now we know....MUHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! :laugh:

Hum... I just saw 73,841 friends for Store Staff: where are the 3 others?

Quote - Hum... I just saw 73,841 friends for Store Staff: where are the 3 others?

It's a secret!

Now the number is: 73839
I think this is the number of members whom actuall hit 'accept', not necessarily the total number of accounts on rendo.
More like the number od people whom actually check their accounts about once a week or so. The 'regulars'

It loves you for your mind :tt2:
The more impulsive, the better ;)

They wised up and dumped the store from their list? Should we all wise up? Who IS this mysterious Store Staff person anyway? I already have StaceyG in my friends list. I know her and like her, not so sure I know this Store Staff person though. 

Just how much rejection can Store Staff stand if we all remove him/her/it from our friends list all at once? :blink::blink::blink:

You guys are like sooo going to hurt Clint's feelings!!!!!

I think store staff thingamajig is there so that it's easier for people to send in customer service requests. You know, Like complaints and order reset requests.

Store Staff is Tom's renderosity account... :lol:

But this number of people that disapeared from Store Staff friends' list, aren't those persons who discovered the Great Plan and you made vanish??? :scared:

Quote - Store Staff is Tom's renderosity account...

ROTFL! :lol:

Wait - who's this Tom, then? 

This is Tom :lol:

Wow... he looks a bit like a Surrealist Exquisite Corpse....

Ok...seriously..here be his homepage

That's odd, I never had to hit "accept". When I looked at my homepage Store Staff already existed in my "Friends" list. If that number was the number of people that hit "accept", why would it be going down?

I was actually making a joke about that number being the number of members. How many members Renderosity actually has was a topic of controversy off and on in the past. I thought I would throw that out to catch a few laughs. It appears to have gone over everyone's head though. No biggie.

:lol:  THAT Tom is gonna kill ya, LOL.

Not if I hide really, really well ROTFL!! :lol:

I get that the friends list is a good way to create a social network of people, but here's my question: why should I approve someone's friend request?

I would like to recommend adding a text box so the person can send a reason for asking to be your friend.
If I get a request from "JoeNewbie" and I have no idea who he is, why should I add him to my friends list? Sure, I could click on his home page, but that usually doesn't tell me much. I'd be much more likely to hit the accept button if the person told me why I should add him as a friend, even a simple "I like your artwork".

The site runs the risk of having some members almost "spamming" other people by clicking every "add as friend" button they can find, just to build their own friends list.
And what was the motive for "Store Staff" wanting me to be his/ her friend anyway? ;)

who you add/remove/make friends with is totally up to you.  There are no rules that say that you even have to participate in the Friends List stuff.  :)

Personally, I just received e-mail informing me that I can easily meet Biker Singles in my area, so I no longer need a Renderosity Friends network.  :-P

Umm.  Sorry.  That was stupid and OT and it didn't need to be said.  And this apology only makes it worse, because I'm still posting, but I also reveal that I was aware of the stupidity and Off-Topical nature.  And analyzing that fact merely worsens things further.  What a terribly self-absorbed thing to do. 

My apologies to all my friends.
