Well said. Enough people go "friends only" and this little community becomes a gated community. If this trend gets much more prevalent, this place will become irrelevant pretty quickly.

I've always wondered why people do that. It is pretty annoying.

'G, I've got a 'gut hunch' on why some people do that.

Do tell....

For some inexplicable reason, they want to 'collect' friends.

Ego? To make someone reading their profile say, "Oh my, they have a lot of friends - Must be an amazing person!"

Like I said .... Inexplicable.

Roger that.

There is a time and place for *friends only*

Sometimes there are just topics that one does not wish to put out to the masses or there can be other reasons. A stalker type perhaps? Who knows.

Yes, it can cause a closed community, but in essence, if the person just wants to blog and not have it read or commented on, does it really matter? Sitting behind our respective keyboards, we do not know what they are going through and their whys of it. The choice is theirs ~ their blog, their rules, but also their consequences.

I agree with IM that it is their choice and their consequences...

I did a FO post once and released it was by accident, I clicked the wrong button ~ I know I am only putting out there what I want to be seen, yes sometimes more than I should but always with a vagueness..
further only 2 posts of mine were closed for comments. Sandy Hook and when my mother passed.
why other people do it is beyond me, but I guess as most say I blog for me only, and a few select others.. *shrugs*

I saw it too and came here to check if all your blogs went to comments are friends only

I see I'm not the first to notice that [post 1012318] is set to "Only friends of boujie1 can post."

I remember now.
