Is anyone versed in the use or knowledge of Friendster a social networking website.

It's interesting to note that this platform is "closed (as a social gaming site), Defunct (as a social networking site)" as of June 14 2015.

They make huge emphasis on them having tried to get into the gaming community.

Better yet why keep the website running 5 years later with that notice (ref the yellowish cap)?

Was also founded 1 year before MySpace.

Maybe a closed network for comms? via games?

Also looking back on the history of "Friendster";

In 2008, Friendster hired former Google executive Richard Kimber as CEO in order to focus heavily on the Asia expansion of the site.
