You can see the online status and/or contact your buddies at a glance, and if you don't want to be bugged by other forum members, you can set your profile so you only get emails and PMs from people on your buddy list.

Post by: SomeKittens on May 12, 2011, 10:37:42 PM: Hm. Different question: What's the purpose of a buddy list? I don't see myself using that (or the ignore list, if someone's bugging me, I'll report it)

The purpose of an ignore list is for people who want to ignore individual users to have that avenue. It's perfectly acceptable to have a feature that comes standard with the software go used by less than 100% of members. I can't even get my tournament hosts to post their own tournaments on the calendar.

If Wanderer had the tournament host status, I'm fairly certain he'd start using the calender.
