tinyE: "A friend in need's a friend indeed, A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test, And we will never sever,"
That started to make me feel good, until I realized it was just a placebo.
ariaspi: Your current chat settings are set to not allow conversations with anyone, so that person needs first to be your friend to be able to chat with you. It's better to allow chat for anyone (this was the default some time ago) and just block the persons that might bother you.
This was a dumb move from GOG, changing these settings as default for everybody and many members are not even aware of this change.
I'm one of them, I didn't know about this change. That is stupid ! I'm used to everybody chatting with everybody.
So I grabbed a flashlight, went exploring in account features I didn't know I had, and changed that. A hefty +1 to you for notifying me as I never would have known. Someone needs to hit GOG with a rolled-up newspaper. Bad GOG!
DedIago: I'm not a big fan of social media myself and never have understood 'friending just for the sake of friending'. 'friendship requests' to people i do not know well make me feel like meddling one.
but suppose if maybe, just maybe, this unknown 'friendshipper' is also the person who hosted a
giveaway you've participated in and tries to reach you to hand over to you code you've won? ;)
if it is, i'm sorry for possible inconvenience. but it's kinda hard to reach you on forums since you're unfortunately not very active here.
I think there's a basic human pleasure in seeing numbers go up along with being affirmed by others, so maybe people like friending everyone so they can see they have 3417 friends, even if they aren't real friends? Maybe? I dunno.
As to the giveaway.... oops! Yes, you were the friender I didn't know. Odd that I got your friend request, but no notification for the thread response. No inconvenience from you at all, I apologize myself for not knowing my chat "door" was locked. I've changed my settings now so hopefully I'm not still blocking everyone.
Dejavous: you don't know someone, would you talk to them on the street? in a bar? on the phone?
Only if they offer me cake. Or they're hot. Or they're horny and need help getting their clothes off. Because I'd definitely do it in a box with a fox.
