Initially I thought 'why on earth' would I have any use for the "PM" or "Buddy List" features, especially when we can already simply contact members via email outside of the forum, but after trying out the "PM" & "Buddy List" features, I'm finding this method far more convenient than regular email. I like the ability to conveniently PM an individual/group of members quickly and get a reply back quickly because you're able to tell if they're concurrently signed into Synthzone at the same time or not.

Buddy List:
