[I advice you read through the whole post.]

Okay, so most of us know about the new Friends and Followers update, and most of us don't like it.

Honestly, I would have no problem with it, if it weren't for the strain and annoyance on developers. Now with this new update, developers either get no messages at all, — which can include things like bugs, ideas, hackers, etc. — or a crap load.

They set it to either those who follow them, or those they follow and/or their friends. It's kind of useless. Even if they make a Twitter or some sort, they still get tons and tons of messages. Too many to sort through.

So, I propose a new type of 'friend': Associates.
Associates would be just like friends were before, but without the tag of a "friend," which would be invalid due to them not being known to you outside of any business or 'fanboy-ing.'

You could have Associates be able to PM you, party you, whatever you want. The associates would be great for developers, as they could add friends to everything(Partying, chat, messaging, following), while they could add associates to messaging, and of course associates would have to be agreed by both parties.

So, say I was a developer. I've just released a new update, but wait! The new Friends and Followers update has been implemented, and I don't have a way to sort through the bugs without testing everything out myself. Now sure, most developers test things as they add them, but there are bound to be small bugs here and there.

So, what do I do? I wait for associate requests. I wait for them, I accept them, and if they have something good to say(bugs, ideas, etc.), I can keep them as an Associate. If they simply bug me with, "don8 pl0x" and "join my group!" then I can simply, err... un-Associate them[?], just as everyone used to do with Friends.

So, you may be saying, "They might as well have just renamed Best Friends to 'Friends,' Friends to 'Associates,' and added Followers!"
Well, that's basically what they did. They renamed Best Friends to "Friends," added Followers, and the only difference is they completely removed the old Friends(Or what would now be, "Associates")
So honestly, there's no hurt.


Feedback, pros and cons, support, no support, etc.
If you don't support, please explain why. If there is a flaw, do not simply let it hang, but grow on it and find a solution, if possible.

First everyone is rioting & raging over this update. And now they're suggesting additions.

I knew they'd all come around.

Nyxis, you're stereotyping. I haven't been raging over the update, rather other people raging over the update.

btw
Support, or not? lel.

I wasn't directing that at you, Sir.

I didn't read the thread. Let me do that.

@Nyx Then why did you bother replying?
And of course people started acting sane. There'll always be those few people who won't be like *insert rage sound effect/ ROBLOOOOOOOX! audio clip here* and actually try and come up with a solution.
