Weird friend messages

I have recently gotten a bunch of messages saying random people I've never heard of have friended me.

Is this happening to anyone else (in which case the people just friend everybody they can find or something) or am I that famous?  tongue

Re: Weird friend messages

you're that famous.

It's basically people who friend everyone they find, and since you come up a lot, they friend you. Happened to me a lot before.

Re: Weird friend messages

I think that your that famous because the same thing happened to me when City Tycoon was curated, but not before.

It happens all the time to probably everyone. I used to be one of those people... Then I stopped.

Re: Weird friend messages

When you are famous, you get a bunch of friend messages in hope they will friend you back and they can say "OMG LOOKEY HE FWIENDED ME"
OK, I did that to 2 people. But that was 5 months ago, and it kinda annoys me.  tongue

Ah, I see.
I didn't know I was that famous. It really doesn't seem like it, given that I get a comment on one of my projects about once every 2 weeks and people don't seem to care too much about Mod Share or FutureSight.
Also, I never friend people back unless I think they seem like people who have done a lot.

Re: Weird friend messages

I get them all the time.  People want to friend me so that they will be notified when I release my next game.  It's not a big conspiracy.  It's just used to follow someone.

And that's why they're changing it to 'following' a user in 2.0.

I found that out because someone showed me. I really wish I had access.  sad

Re: Weird friend messages

Probably the people who like your projects are friending you so that your latest projects will show up

Same here.
Only now it is the big conspiracy thingy.  tongue

I mostly got them when I had a bunch of decent projects up, like later animations and games.

Re: Weird friend messages

I get the odd request every now and again but ignore and delete them.
