Actually, I’ve put my account on hold, rather than cancelling competely. Netflix tells me that gives the chance to keep my queue and, I assume, my friends as well. \*\*Twickster \*\* - I don’t know which name is mine, but I’m the friend in Clearwater. ---

Hmm, the best match I have so far out of the thread is 80%. My invite: [http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/P7ANuJ2CCq9bqag6CJdC](http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/P7ANuJ2CCq9bqag6CJdC) ---

Added everyone in here except for **Hockey** and **gwendee** for two reasons: My list is full again and they didn’t post links but instead added the people themselves, however I’ll free up two or three more spots later on today for you guys too. 🙂 ---

On my end, it says you and I are at 60%, **twicks**. And I’ve just changed my nickname. See if you can guess what it is now… 😃 My highest match is DF, at 66%. Who’s DF? ---

I have added everyone except for Idle, he is full up. I barely register as having movies compared to most of you. I just changed my nickname there to Lok, it says it will take up to 24 hours to show. Jim and DY are both 74% matches. And apparently **Twickster** and **Nonsuch** have absolutely nothing in common with me? 😕 **MsWhatsit** is at 38%, so having nothing as a rating must be a pretty low cutoff. 😛 My invite link: [http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PeCbc0axdTPwXHbty8Ih](http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PeCbc0axdTPwXHbty8Ih) ---

More unknowns, not fewer. If you don’t know your nickname, look at the little ID tag on the right of the first page of the community page – it should show there. mcm87 EC Jim = **What Exit?** GA MW DH pid ZipperJJ = **ZipperJJ** Random = **Kat** (hasn’t changed yet – I assume you’re going to Jelaza?) Chris = **Idle Thoughts** AS DY (might be **SuperVenusFreak** , if I recall his IRL name correctly) BF twickster = **twickster** Jamie rje (matches 0 with me, so might be **Lok** ) ---

[/QUOTE] Yeah, DF is my highest too at 70% (although there are two others tied at 70 percent, I guess s/he gets it due to being in alphabetical order; **What Exit?** is also 70 percent with me). I think that’s **cainxinth**. ---

Well, time to clear out more spaces I see. I delete five more strangers rather than two. 😛 (story behind my friends list: Once I learned about it…I googled “bemyfriend” to see of people who have posted these links on other sites and forums. Lame, I know, but it seemed to me most didn’t mind if people had complete strangers on their list, so I added a bunch that I found from various blogs and other movie boards. So hence, most of the 47 or so I had on my list I didn’t know at all. So obviously I have no problem deleting these people and replacing them with dopers slowly but surely) ---

[QUOTE=Lok] I have added everyone except for Idle, he is full up. I barely register as having movies compared to most of you. I just changed my nickname there to Lok, it says it will take up to 24 hours to show. Jim and DY are both 74% matches. And apparently **Twickster** and **Nonsuch** have absolutely nothing in common with me? 😕 **MsWhatsit** is at 38%, so having nothing as a rating must be a pretty low cutoff. 😛 My invite link: > **[Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/NotFound?prev=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2FBeMyFriend%2FPeCbc0axdTPwXHbty8Ih)** [/QUOTE] I’ve found it has to do with how many you’ve rated yourself, actually. 🙂 Usually those who haven’t rated more than about 120 movies (at the very least) won’t have percentages for all of the people on their friends list. Anywhere below that number and you’ll probably only have percentages for those who have rated a huge load of flicks. 😛 Oh, and I’ve added you and **EofA**. One spot left for either **Hockey** or **gwen** (or someone else who is faster :p). I’ll clear more when I come back tonight. I have a lot of unknowns on my list too. I mean, I’ve read in here everyone who has added me thus far so I know they’ve all got to go someplace but all I see is initials. JB, DH, Msomethingorother…Hahaha. ---

[QUOTE=Kat] I’m assuming that’s **Eleanor of Aquitaine** , based on the “See more detail on Jamie (EofA)” link under the nickname. [/QUOTE] Yes, I updated my nickname, but it doesn’t seem to want to stick. I rated some more movies, and my percentages for most people dropped. I’m 78% with \*\*Miller \*\*and 67% with **MsWhatsit** , then DY at 64% and **What Exit** at 62%. I wonder what your library looks like, **Miller**. ---

I am having the same problem with my nickname. It is showing as rje, switches to Lok when I change it, then switches back if I leave the site. And **Twickster** and I are now a 61% match, but **Nonsuch** still doesn’t like anything I do. 😃 ---

I keep thinking that’s the “Hero” starring Dustin Hoffman (an easy five stars from me), but instead it’s a “Hero” that I’ve never seen (yet). ---

I just went through and added everyone that posted a link. My username might show up as NW(with random numbers here). I changed it to Brewha, but it’ll take a day for the change to go through. [Here’s my link](http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PYu5sldZ4SA96glFkf12) ---
