In a way this is related to other posts I've made in this forum.
Basically I will have a site where members will sign-up but they can only be "Friends" with the admin. They can only see the "Feed" that the admin writes in. For this reason they don't need a Friends tab or a sent tab. Only the Received requests so they can accept the Admin. This is only needed because I cannot automatically make new members friends with the admin.
Period being friends with admin is good anyways whether you want to eradicate every other friend feature or not, Myspace & Tom spring to mind. Plus it would bring to the users attention the "friend" system.
