Where’d you get that picture of me? 
I’m touched, thanx!
I have been a proud friend for about a year or more. I say accept.
Getting an invite put a smile on my face. Happy to be your friend, Idle.
I’m also happy to be included in the group! Call if you need help moving a body! Or maybe even creating one.
Ooo, I’m in!
I think maybe this is the first time in my life I’ve been one of the cool kids. In with the in crowd.
Uh, this is the in crowd, no?
Aw, now I don’t feel so special.
I’ve been a Doper for a long time, but I’ve never been one of the big names. I’ve never bothered with friending people here, because I didn’t see the point (it’s not like Facebook where your friendship status affects your ability to interact with someone). When Idle Thoughts sent me a friend request I checked our mutual posting histories to see where we’d interacted, and was surprised to see that we hadn’t. I was a bit confused, but now I understand.
If I accepted the invite, I’d have more friends online than in the real world.
One.
You’re my friend. That should be enough for you. Mods come and go. Me, not so much. 
2 questions please:
Did you know we can click your profile and see your friends?
Did you know I can’t think of Idle Thoughts as a jackbooted thug? Probably as I’ve had him as a board friend since before he was a moderator and I don’t post much anymore.
I was Idle’s friend before it was cool!
She friended me loooong ago!
Yeah, some (most) of you come from years and years ago, over the many of them.
I only accepted because I thought that was how to redeem the free Whopper!
The free Whopper made the deal for me too. Umm, free food.
That’s so cool! I have one friend now!
I’m still waitin’ for my “Song Challenge” dollar!
You mean some of you got a gift with [del]purchase[/del]invite? :dubious:
Yeah, yeah, it seems fresh and exciting at first, getting a little attention from a Mod. But he’ll just use you and then throw you away and move on. Don’t ask me how I know.
Me too, and mine’s already spent.
In 16 years, I’ve gotten exactly four friend requests … all from people I never heard of, before or since.
