homies for the users?

Hi!

Just a suggestion taken from another forum I'm a member of: couldn't we have a section for individual homies in here too? It's one thread for every user where you can communicate with this person (about DR things and to get to know that person better and stay in touch).

Well, that's what PMs are for surely

I know the kind of thing you're talking about, but I was also going to suggest using the PM feature.

Well, in the other forum we use pms only for really personal things we do not want to post in public. But the homies are there for keeping update with each other. But perhaps this is what is meant with "to keep in touch and to get to know each other better" on the EF myspace then. It just makes no sense to me to separate this from the forum. But that's just my personal opinion.

You can start a thread for yourself in the Everything Else section if you like and see how it goes. People also use an intro thread in the Introduce Yourself section to get started...

I'm only a newbie here so perhaps there was a reason to separate the "get to know each other"-thing from this forum and I just don't know? If not: why was it separated? (note: I'm a communication-consultant and might think a little more about those things

- it just makes no sense to me, that's all)

As for the intro thread: I already have one and found some folks there - who added me on myspace (you see).
