My friend tells me that when he looks at the 'users online section', that my user name has a '+' at the end of it. (blue_neon+). Just wondering what this means?

Thanks

It means he's added you as a buddy to his list of buddies on bikeforums.

Oh ok. What is the buddy list used for, is there any real purpose to it?

Pretty funny. I use the buddy list. It helps me to find people without having to look.

too much clicking around, but it seems like a good idea, never really looked into it before.
