On this forum's software, their are "Contacts" and "Friends;" the two make up the concept of a 'buddy list.' You can see your current list in your User CP

By adding a user as a Contact, he will appear in your list:

...meant to be an easy way to, for example, send a PM to someone you know, rather than searching for a post made by them or searching the Member List.

When you 'befriend' someone, it simply means that each of you have the other as a Contact.

There is no further personalization or privileges that go with "Friends" in this context...unlike FB and other more intricate social networking sites.
