johnnygoging: nothing gets deleted. nothing. when Ricky adds you, that's when your friend thread will be deleted, because you will not need any more friends. you will have achieved.
but now, to get very serious
can we stop derepping people for gog's failing? seriously. it looks stupid. it makes us look bad.
people can't be expected to find a thread for adding friends to post in when gog's search is different and unwieldy for anyone coming from any other search. posting in any thread and saying "it's in [thread] thread" is trickier and much less easy than "it's on the first page dude. just look on the right to see my screen name", especially when gog has still refused to sticky a friend adding thread.
+1 for advocating self-suffice.
Now, show them where the food is.
