Yes, Crayo has another idea, god help us -.-.
Right, I'll get right into it. MyBB has a built in buddy system but it's poor, it's not used on 99% of the sites who run MyBB and I've come up with a fantastic alternative for a custom plugin which sort of incorporates the "buddy" idea but in a much better way.
We can have a "fave 5" (Dolph's gets some credit for mentioning his fave 5 for a while). On the post_bit (where the awards, achievements etc are) we can have a box (removing Achievements soon probably for space) where your fave 5 users are added. To add someone to your fave 5, you simply go to their profile and hit "request to add them in fave 5" or something, similar to Facebook marriages.
Then if they accept, they appear in your box which will have a list of 1-5 like so:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
If the receiver reads it and accepts, they'll be in the requesters post_bit box, but they won't be in yours, you'd need to do the same process. As for example Seabs may be in my fave 5 but I may not be in his :alone:
We could have perhaps a stat as well which says how many fave 5's your in and have a leaderboard perhaps as a way to see who the most popular user is, I don't know, I don't think that'd cause competitive arguments as everyone gets along here more or less.
Anyway, pitch in some feedback. If you do like this, it won't be here right away, we'd of course have to wait for a few upgrades (let's hope I win the bets) as I would have to pay for this as it'd be a custom plugin.
