People's preferred method of adding one as a friend is through subscribing to that person's account, but that just gets friends confused with people you sub to for only to see future submission releases. Sure we have a forums system that has friends on it, but most people don't use the forums and even with the forums, you can't even show the friends you have to anyone because it is kept private on the forums.
What I suggest is to add a friends list to one's own profile of the site, something besides the forums friends system. But not just a simple friends list, but one with other features to it such as an option to show either everyone your friends, keep private, or subs can only see friends of user's profile. Some other options for the friends list would include but not limited to a best friend slot (1 - 3 perhaps), a friends announcement (would send a message to every friend at once), and finally, choose to let friends only see private submissions (friends' eyes only).
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".
