Eng:Friend

A friend was a Scratcher that had been added to another Scratcher's friend list. When a friend was added, they were not entitled to any personal information that you had used to register, other than their username. Once someone was added as a friend, new projects they share would show up under the "My Friends' Latest Projects" section on the Front Page.

Adding Friends
To add friends, all you had to do was go to the wanted user's profile and select the "add to friends" button. Once done, the user would receive a private notification that they had been added to your friend list.

Removing Friends
To remove users from your friend list, you could visit your friend list's page and click the X's on the right of each added user's username.

Reasons
Scratchers added others for reasons such as:
 * Someone may have given help on a project
 * To see any future projects the Scratcher will make
 * If they know them in real life
 * If they've posted a friendly comment on a project
 * If they join a particular gallery
 * Because they consider that user an online friend
