Friends aren't a fad or competition on here. It's a social network. You basically just make friends as you go. Wikia is more of, "let's make friends with our co-workers" kind of environment. They want people to stay on Wikia and work together, not hang out and party somewhere else. What they do is create an environment where you can post Wikia related topics and people who have similar interests will reply. Those are your friends, lol. There is no messenger service, or private messages (unless you enjoy the chat login feature). Other than that, everything is public and everyone is your friend. They don't want Wikia becoming a private service because their focus is on the public.
