I just got another friend request from someone I don't know. In that case, i'll go check their profile. But, it's not a big help when all you get is:

John Doe
,, USA

And no profile picture.

I'm sorry, but if you want to be my friend you need an identity. In fact, if you want to interact with other Warriors, you need an identity.

Who are you? Who are the faceless ones?

      It's whiskey. Whisky isn't real. It's only coloured water.

        Which is why I had my doppleganger make this post.

          Kevin,
          I am loving this thread & I don't mind you not liking the Scotch Whisky but I Love Scottish people as my Mum was one of them until she moved over the lake to Northern Ireland, My Dad, now that's a different matter, he worked as a telephone engineer over in Scotland, then he met my Mum, Moved over here and got married. Gotta love a story!

          Besides with a like Fraser, where do you think it comes from! Yep, Scottish last name.

          Have you had a look at the kilt market, there is hundreds of kilt designs.

          OK, enough of me taking it to seriously.
          Sorry about that folks.

          So THAT is what's in the cup!!!

          There's no such thing as whisky/whiskey abuse... in a literal sense...

          However, to NOT drink is is to abuse it.

          When I needed a forum photo I searched through hundreds of digital photos from the last years. Then it became clear to me who had been the family photographer for those years. There were lots of pictures of other family members and friends, but not one good picture of myself of the kind that could be used as a forum picture.

          So, I took some pictures with my web camera, not wearing shades.

          Then it became clear to me;

          I had to wear the shades to hide evidence of too many late nights of reading Warrior Forum posts.

          Almost as hard to the body as whisky and whiskey abuse.

            You know Kevin, since the new forum, I have not put in one friend request.

            I mean, who the hell would want to be friends with a geek who can't turn on
            his computer without blowing it up and who sings almost as bad as you do?

            But I have had quite a few friend requests, though I am still scratching my
            head trying to figure out why. :confused:

            Having said that, I just noticed that YOU aren't one of them.

            Perhaps that really shows how incredibly intelligent you are not to want to
            be associated with the likes of me.

            Or maybe you're just jealous because "I'm A Warrior" is such a big hit with
            the local riff raff.

            Well, in any case, I'm going to give you just ONE chance to be my friend.

            See, in spite of your horrible singing voice, I think you do some really
            cool vids and I figure if I'm your friend, maybe I can learn to do some
            really cool vids too. And then if I ever come to Japan (not likely) we can
            do some cool vids together. I promise to bring my guitar and sing "I'm A
            Warrior."

            So whadaya say Kevin?

            Will you be my friend?

                Great...that's two of us.

                We make a hell of team hamster boy.

                How's anybody gonna ever believe that we know how to make money online
                when we can't even send a freakin friend request?

                Okay, I'm going to go into research mode, see if I can figure it out, and
                then post the procedure here.

                Might take me a few months so be patient.

                  Okay Kevin, it's very simple. Even I can do it.

                  1. You click on the person's name in the thread you're viewing.

                  2. A little menu will pop up with an option that says, "Add <name> to contacts" Go on, you can do it...That's IT!

                  3. A screen will pop up asking you to confirm this and underneath it will be
                  a line that says, "Also Send Friend Request" with a little check box next to
                  it. You check the box and click the confirm button. Go on, you can do it...
                  That's IT!

                  Aya gumba mia gumba...He CAN be taught!

                  Okay, I gotta go back to work. Your friend request has been sent Kevin.

              Steve,

              At least you didn't say that you sing worse than Kevin. I had children over last time when I had a clip of kevin singing and they started crying.

              If you ever talk to Kevin on skype to he tries to sing to you also.... errr hopefully that isn't just to me otherwise I'm a little scared now.

    And no profile picture.

    I'm sorry, but if you want to be my friend you need an identity. In fact, if you want to interact with other Warriors, you need an identity.

    Who are you? Who are the faceless ones?
    Now I'd call myself pretty faceless, but I wouldn't say I lack an identity. Plus I have 64 people on my friends list, including you Kevin and about half the people that said they don't accept just any friend request in your poll.

    Personally I think I definitely have an identity, and my picture sort of contributes to it. Most of the people on my friends list are people that made cool replies to my posts or that bought WSOs. I also have a lot of people that were new to the forum and I sent them a friend request, just so they would have someone on their friends list.

    Anyway. Everyone loves these new avatars, but really the forum survived for years without them.

      I might be wrong, but I think Kevin means, someone who has at least done something with their profile on here, that's how I took it anyway and I will normally accept people who have put something there, I don't think the profile picture necessarily needs to be a personal photo though.. just my take on it...

      Now back to laughing at all the funny responses as it is my coffee break now

    I feel excited when I have some notification in my profile but seeing it is a friend request (instead of message), I'm in bad mood... I am not saying I am not friendly but what is the use of having a friend privately when we can discuss everything in public?

    I think that friend request was from me. Your actually the first person I tried to add as a friend.

    I just finished reading one of your products and really enjoyed it. I originally sent you a PM to go along with the friend request, but I couldn't finish it because my 9 month old daughter had other plans.

    I've also been meaning to put up a picture for weeks now. I'll be sure to do that today. Overall my networking and social skills the last year have flat out sucked...

    I did make a post about the business model you teach since I find it so appealing, but I didn't get any responses in the thread.

    Much love,
    Dave.

      There is indeed such a thing, me bucko. That's putting anything in it besides a wee bit of ice, or a little branch water if you're the delicate sort...

      To not drink it is a way to abuse yourself, in a manner of speaking.

      But I have had quite a few friend requests, though I am still scratching my
      head trying to figure out why. :confused:

      Having said that, I just noticed that YOU aren't one of them.

      Perhaps that really shows how incredibly intelligent you are not to want to
      be associated with the likes of me.

      Or maybe you're just jealous because "I'm A Warrior" is such a big hit with
      the local riff raff.

      Well, in any case, I'm going to give you just ONE chance to be my friend.

      See, in spite of your horrible singing voice, I think you do some really
      cool vids and I figure if I'm your friend, maybe I can learn to do some
      really cool vids too. And then if I ever come to Japan (not likely) we can
      do some cool vids together. I promise to bring my guitar and sing "I'm A
      Warrior."

      So whadaya say Kevin?

      Will you be my friend?

      I'm at the point where I ignore most friend requests.

      I hate to be impolite but it would be nice for people to understand that some might see my friends list as an implied endorsement (which it really isn't).

      And I'm very careful about who I endorse or recommend.

      I would think that before you sent a friend request you would at least have some kind of previous one on one contact with the person...or hamster.

      Kindest regards,

    I've rarely made 'friend' requests, and only to those whom I 'know' here.

    I've received several requests from some folks I don't know, and I've accepted those requests. I've assumed it's been because they found one of my posts meaningful, or it somehow resonated with them. So I don't have a problem with that.
