We've just expanded the Outdoor Ed Community to provide you with full Social Networking features including friends, private conversations and more. This is a major upgrade to the software that's used to run MySpace so there will be some features that are not enabled initially as we manage the transition. We hope that you'll really enjoy connecting using the features.
