What I mean by a LONGER FRIENDS LIST is that...
all your friends would be on your ABOUT page.Instead of clicking ALL FRIENDS each and every time you want to talk to a new friend.

What you think?

The problem with this is that it would slow down the profile pages considerably. That is why this is not currently implemented. The more objects the page has to load, the slower it will be. And some people have A LOT of friends!

Even if you added a scroll bar to the friends section?

Your still loading more objects, just hiding them with a scroll bar.

That wouldnt make it as slow.

It shouldn't, provided you don't have 100+ friends >_>
I mean that's pretty much 1/2 of AG's Usually-Active Population there...

Are you guys saying it would make the whole site slow or just the user?

Probably the whole site, as everyone is using the same server.

Loading the page, it may not make the whole site slower, only a fraction of a fraction of a second, but when you go to load the page GOOD LUCK TO YOU SIR if that person is similar to KoG with every user known to Armourkind on their friends list o.o

Exactly.

That would still be an increase in objects loaded on the page. It would still slow it down. Not as much as loading 100%, but would still slow it down.

Potentially both. It would make member pages slower, and if it increasing the bandwidth by enough overall, it has the potential to slow the site as a whole.

It's also weird to have a long list going into nowhere on your page.
