If you go into Anderton's profile on HC and look over to that amazing right hand column:
"Anderton currently has 2 friends."
-
Hey, I figured I'd befriend him - he is doing what little he can to get HC 2.0 fixed for us after all. He really just works there these days and isn't part of the management team :(. You should all befriend him too:

This begs the question: Why do we need a friends list on a forum? If you're posting in an online forum, aren't you already participating in a social network? Why does HC feel the need to try to be "facebook for musicians"? What's next - a text box so you can tweet what note you're playing right now?
No disrespect towards Craig Anderton. I've been reading his stuff since I first learned how to wield a soldering iron 30 years ago. I have nothing but respect for the guy.

It isn't a forum - it is trying to be all things to all people.

That is 2 more friends than I have. Not sure what that says about me. :o

It started at zero for everybody on the day of the switchover so doesn't mean anything yet. I just got a chuckle out of that "Anderton currently has 2 friends" considering all the people hatin' on him since the changeover :o.

"You Have 0 Friends"

I have not seen that South Park. I will have to check it out.

How to amass lots of friends:
1) Get a house that has a swimming pool. The downsides to this are that you'll find it impossible to keep any beer in the fridge, and you'll never be able to find a dry towel.
2) Get a warehouse. It's amazing how many friends you'll have that just need to store a "little stuff" for "awhile".
3) Get a shop. It's amazing how many friends you'll have that "could use a little help" on a "small repair job"... "in your spare time"... but you'll have the opportunity to refine your mechanical chops to a whole new level as many of these projects will be a challenge. Also, you'll come away with a whole new perspective on your odds of winning the state lottery... as million-to-one, or even billion-to-one odds will seem routine when it comes to thinking you’ve seen everything.
4) Get a box truck and hand truck (or better yet: an appliance hand truck). This combination of items works well as an impetus to prune down any pile of spare cardboard boxes that would otherwise accumulate... unless, of-course, you also have a warehouse... then the cardboard boxes will just leave (with you and your box truck) for awhile... but will return (with you and your box truck)... fully utilized.
5) Get a listed business phone number, and contribute to the first charity fundraise telemarketer who calls (which should happen within a few minutes of the phone being activated). Guaranteed, you'll have all kinds of new friends who will call morning, noon, and night... 7 days a week. As a bonus to having all these new phone friends, you'll seldom have a concern that your phone might not be functioning.
