Purpose of Buddy List

I have a few people marked as buddies but really do not see the benefit of the list.

I do not see how I can easily find new posts by buddies or anything else.

There are regulars that I want to find their work and if it gets buried to fast it makes it harder.

How about the option to find your buddies easier.

Thanks

I would have to agree with this. The buddy and ignore list do show bennifits of knowing the names of people, or having a good buddy list, but it does bring up the question of why else do we have it. I would have to agree, is it possible to add on, or make it possible to get to your buddies posts and so on and so forth through the buddy list?

I also have to through my agreement into the ring! I have a special few, consider yourselves lucky, who are on my buddy list, but all I get out of it is a nice little plus sign next to their names. Perhaps it should show their recent activity (i.e. recent posts, without having to go search for them).

ignore lists helps you to, well, ignore people.

the buddy list? just a feature. i like it though. you can add yourself to your own buddy list. i haven't ignored me yet though. i haven't done anything bad enough for that.

Your one of them, I had added you during the goddess poems. So I could watch for your stuff. (I thought) .
