I see that Cecil has only 6 friends. I’m betting he must have had many more friend requests so I have to ask, apart from our own dear Una, of whom it’s quite needless to ask the question, what’s so special about:
Chez Guevara
Fear Itself
Antigen
MadPansy64
jali
Or did they just catch Cecil on a good day?
Yeah, right, like we’re going to tell you!
I only have two friends, so what does that say about my masculinity?
(No, you don’t need to answer, thank you very much.)
No, m’am, I won’t.
Argument. That’s what this thread needs: a bitter argument.
That your eyes are glued to the wall at urinals.
Well, as long as I have a friend on each side – no, wait, that doesn’t sound right 
I thought that you could send a mass Pm to all your “friends”? Useful for games.
That sounds like it would be painful, as well as unhygienic. I hope that it’s at least a non-toxic water-based glue like Elmer’s, and not a cyanoacrylate?

Being friends on this message board is a completely meaningless platitude. It offers no real benefit. It is, at best, a very convoluted user-wide “like” button, being friends with someone is akin to saying “I enjoy engaging with you in conversation, and like your posts.” I extended a friend request to the OP for similar reasons to RNATB, but then saw later that RNATB beat me to it. I’m still open to being friends with Senegoid, though, he has some really cool posts in math and comp sci threads.
That is, of course, ignoring the secret VIP lounge and read-only access to the mod forum that having 50 friends gets you. I think you’re also entered in a raffle for a year’s supply of Ovaltine, as well as being taken off the “goat and squid caretaker duty” list.
Okay, I just accepted. But now I ask, just as I asked up-thread: Now what happens? Are we now to be mystically drawn together at the next pon farr?
Never mind the Ovaltine. [sub]Oh, wait. Is it chocolatey?[/sub] At least with RNATB, I get cinnamon pine cones. (Ah, but I see you missed that thread. See posts #91, 94, 95, 96.)
You get to be part of the Miskatonic University Arkham Investigation Team.
Wait… is that a benefit or a curse? I keep forgetting.
Oof. I’m never going to live that one down, am I? :o
He wasn’t really a spammer, the mods just don’t want you to have any friends.
:eek:
So what does a spammer get out of being somebody’s friend? Does spammer get to see friend’s private e-mail address or something?
I don’t know. I just checked, and Marley was the mod I PMed, and who presumably banned
:(my only friend:), so maybe he knows. He didn’t let the spammer live long enough to even PM me, so I can’t say. But as Darth Panda points out, the mods don’t want me to have any friends, so I have no idea what :(my only friend:) would have done. He might have convinced me to buy whatever he was selling. Or maybe he would have given me a toy to play with, like my cats have always played with the lesser creatures (like me) that they encounter. 
Even spammers need the warmth only human companionship can offer.
NOT!
