hey there had a list of features that would be nice here, so I wanted to discuss one of them - maybe there are some obvious disadvantages with it that I don't see (besides it being a ton of work for the devs of BGA 
) - so I wanted to use this as a filter for the idea, maybe making it better in progress, or maybe scratching it and not waste devs time.
the idea would be general tags for added friends (or even people you sent a friend request, since that changed recently).
the reasoning/usefulness is that you could group friends by games, by knowing them personally, by skill level in games ( as in fun to play with vs just great personality) or anything someone might imagine or find useful.
further feature description is basically a carbon copy of what steam did at some point:
- people can have multiple tags
- you can sort and filter by tags
( - you dont have an ... not so great limit ... of only seeing 9 people that are online, in the drop-down)
[also you could have tags for tags as an upper category (for hierarchy, as in: friends that play tichu as category, and that play it good as sub category) , just not that restrictive as a folder system/categories since tags are not exclusive] <- but really optional, since one does probably not have so many people in the friendslist that you'd need hierarchical organizing instead of just using separate tags ( I assume people would have <1000 people in their friendslist )
- you can use that features in the drop-down and the overview
PS: the problems it fixes are hopefully clear; if not I'll add them later
PPS: would put it into suggestions in one week, if the idea survives this discussion
Edit: is the title so boring that nobody even read the post ?? O.o - already thought about making it something more click baity... "Woop Woop - looky here!!!" comes to mind
