Multiplayer friends list

FSopen is an awesome list of ip servers available. What we are lacking is a way for us to create a friends list again so that we can see when they are on and in what session. When game spy pulled the plug - poof -- all of our friends disappeared. After 3 weeks i have only found 1 here on Fsopen. Could some server guru at FSOPEN write a program for finding mulitplayer friends and the session they are in? It would also be nice to have a private chat window so that we could better communicate with them too. I would even pay for a program like that. one more thing could you advertise FSOPEN more on places like flightsim.com and simviation.com so that others around the world can find FSOPEN.com?

Nice idea but there is no way of knowing who most players are. Besides I think a lot of us hated the dreaded friends request that would cause chat to time out and close!

I have spent some considerable time advertising the site, especially soon after GameSpy stopped working. I know rely on users like yourself advertising the site. It looks better then me ranting on all the time!

ps. the domain is co.uk not com.

If I may.. I concur with Dave's statement and I have ran the "Friends Request Blocker" since it was made available.

Best way to keep your own personal "friends list" would be to use SKYPE, in my opinion.

P.S. Dave, I "rant" on your session list... everyday. It is the most complete list available and a link is made available at the top of my website homepage... Keep up the good work !

Mind you the worst bit of GameSpy was the lounge when you first logged on. Full of kids swearing abuse at each other!

I was going to suggest Skype too. No point re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks for the replies. I'm a person that looks at the glass half full. I ignor obnoxious people and go around them. They want you to notice and respond to them. And I never minded an intrusion on chat I figured someone (probably a noobie) might want to learn something about flying and I could help them. Im not a programmer and dont have a clue how to create a simple program to find former gamespy friends on line. Thats why I was hoping some kind guru on the forum could help at least create a Who s on line page. But maybe im dreaming at restoring these gamespy friends list and chat with private chat is impossible. If so the memorial for my lost friends is a fly in at the Egyptian pyramids at 12:00 zulu Sunday
