    Why do the people in them always seem to be rotating? (Not a big issue, just curious).Would've thought they would be in alphabetical order but they aren't always. What's with that?

    That list to the side is randomly chosen. Your actual friends list is alphabetically sorted.

    Two possibilities:

    1: it makes them dizzy and nauseous so it's a true test of friendship if they stay there.

    2: It's a built in randomise feature of vBulletin and is probably not based on how friendly yore friends are.

    hmm.

    Ah. It doesn't seem to change every refresh though, maybe every day? *goes to AC's profile and refreshes a few times to check*

    Oh look at that it does change with each refresh.

    Nah, 'strue. I actually noticed it on a friends profile rather than my own.

    It's randomized on a cron to the best of my knowledge, so it updates hourly or daily or thereabouts.

    My friends squad is so threadbare I can't afford a rotation policy. In fact if I get any more injuries, I'll have to forfeit my next match! :(

    The rotation reminds me of the little people, I like it.
