What is the purpose of having friends? I frequently get requests but have no clue as to what the benefits of having friends on the forums are. Anyone able to provide an incite?

It's more of a unneeded feature than anything, some people set their profile viewable to friends only Though.
I have no idea! I just accept them anyway. :smirk:
So you can stalk them. Duh. :smirk:
vbulletin is a highly customizable forum software. I'm sure there are great uses for the friend feature if those features were turned on. But really, it's like your appendix. It's there, but no one is really sure what it does.
I did explore some of the background features but from what I've seen, things like groups and friends just aren't beneficial. I'd love to hear an opinion from someone who does find it useful.Quote:

I get a few here and there, I always accept.
