I haven't counted, and I apologize in advance because I don't plan to, but I think that I have more pending friend requests than users in my friend list. Offhand, I am guessing it is about 200 to 80 or something. And as I noted in the other thread, I only have maybe 5 friends on the site.
OP, if you would like to attack me in these forums, then let's go to war. Bring it. If you say something like that, you need to ecpect you have to back it up.

The OP is you. 
LOL, yeah I meant the OP of the other thread, and my previous comment was directed at him as well and not you.
An eye for an eye, only leads to a community of blind people. (let it go)
I think it's too personal a question. Once you publicly admit to having say, 50 friends, then each of those feels they're only getting 2% of your friendship focus.
There's no upper limit to how many friends you can have on this site (such as the '200' limit for blocks). You could have thousands (perhaps millions, if you worked at it).

sftac, I don't know if you quite know what I have been thorugh on these forums in the past week or two.
A combative / reactive stance on a chess site's forum & chat rooms, is like putting blood in the water for sharks.
I predict if you took a step back, responded less briskly and less vehemently, you'd find the sharks would have far less interest in 'baiting' you.

lol wut? like 4 or 5 or 6 or some other number.

Oh MY, I got seven on my friends list. How did that happen?
But real friends in my life are the more important ones and I can count them on one hand. Those are the ones that come and help when there is a need without hesitation.
19!
Most of them I know from home, and are rarely online.

Same here (but with only 10 friends).

More interesting I think than number is people's policies regarding such.
About 75% of my friends list on here is comprised of people I already knew from elsewhere who have come here to play chess with me; the other 25% is comprised of people whom I've played and either have requested friendship or I have with them, because we found our shared games particularly stimulating and wished to therefore continue that connection.

I have a similar policy.

I've got exactly 49 right now, after a spring cleaning. If I don't know you, why are you in my friends list caused about 60 people to be removed.
And one to be added.
I have 26 in mine.
