After reading your comment, I went looking for this sidebar thing. I never knew it even existed!
I do wish it was a little more clear what this sidebar thing is all about, and not kept in the little 3 dot options next to the subscribe button. But it is certainly a lot better than doing the old sub4sub thing.
So I just now tried it out for the first time, but sadly, most of the old friends I made along the way aren't around anymore. I haven't even been that active on this site myself - maybe I should change that.
When reading this, I was a little confused. It was like you were telling me that I had to take down the ticket, but after reading this I went looking around the ticket and just noticed that "I" can close this ticket at any time. I always thought staff had to close it! Boy, do I feel dumb right now. I wish I new more about the changes being made. I see the edit button on there, but I don't even know if I ever made changes to this. So much time has past by... days long gone of the good times.
Is there a section of this server that posts updates? If there is, I would find that extremely useful. I'd even subscribe to that!
EDIT: I was about to close this ticket, but it seems you can't leave a comment after it is closed. I really do want to know if there is an update page, so I'll leave this open until your reply.

Friends list
What I suggest is to add a friends list to one's own profile on the site, something besides the forums friends system. But not just a simple friends list, something with other features to it such as an option to show everyone your friends, keep them private, or subs can only see friends of user's profile.
I completely understand that most of that will probably be ignored, but at least try to implement some basic friend system so people don't have just the one option of "sub4sub friends".
Edit: I reread the comment from a moderator and completely looked over the custom widget thing about friends. This means everything I requested, besides the silly stuff has been granted! The sidebar can now keep friends to quickly look at their profiles at any time, so that is a big yes that I always wanted!
I have decided to close the ticket. Thanks for all the support!
