Sorry for the delayed response. This is an issue I've been trying to monitor, but I'm pretty lazy.

FB friend requests are against our policy for security reasons. A lot of children frequent this site, and it could be used by predators.

With that in mind, this is a social game and having friends is essential to success. I don't find anything wrong with exchanging info with someone you've met here, but our policy needs to be adjusted for this.

This is something I've been pondering for a few days and I've been trying to figure out a good way to implement it. At the very least, it won't change for about 2 1/2 weeks as the 'leader' of the admins is currently on vacation and I won't propose any policy changes that he can't vote on.

In the mean time, feel free to ask people you've interacted with if the'd like to excange info, and remove the thread when you're done.
