I think we all agree how annoying it was before they changed the way the popularity peen worked and you’d sign in to 4 or 5 unsolicited friend requests daily. Compared to the current methods of friendwhoring, I think I prefer it the way it used to be. Give me a couple of requests daily instead of blanketing flamebate and community ads.

Also, I don’t really remember there being anything wrong with the way you got the flamebate peen before, but I’m sure there was something. Whatever it was, it can’t be nearly as annoying as it is now.

Bring back the old ways so some of us will actually stand a chance of getting them and not be hated by the community in the process. Also it might be nice to implement some method of “retiring” people from the boards. Perhaps only have recent posts and friend requests count?
