Whew buddy.. I am not entirely sure I see this whole "friends" thing as a good thing... cause all I see is "why won't you be my friend" and "if you have HIM as a friend then I am taking you off MY friends list." I hope that it doesn't further reinforce some of the cliquishness we have seen rear its ugly head over the past year or so. It is certainly an interesting new toy, but I am not entirely sure how useful it will be. Who knows, maybe I will be wrong and it will actually strengthen the "community" feel. Guess time will tell.
I see what you're saying. That's part of the reason myspace annoyed the hell outta me. Had me only
slightly worried at first, but I think what differentiates the people on here from social networking sites, is we all came here for a singular purpose; Star Wars costuming. Friends second, imo. That common interest right there
should prevent any "myspace drama".
I used to be a member of mygamerspace.com, and it was geared
specifically toward gamers. Everybody there shared a common interest, and for the most part every user was friendly and nice. Sure there were a few pricks every now and then that were just begging to get the ban-hammer, but that's the nature of the interwebs.
Whereas on myspace, you get all kinds of people; everybody is different, and personalities are bound to clash, so of course there's that petty BS going on all the time.
So I don't really see any bad coming out of it now that TDH has some of those friend features.
But then again, I'm still a newb here, so what do I know?
