"Community" and "Social Network," though related, are not synonyms.

I value the Mudcat community. The features of, as well as the limitations of Mudcat are what have resulted in it becoming, and then remaining, a community.

Keep that in mind when contemplating upgrades and changes to it's IT functionality.

You are the site owner, Max, and it is your call to make. But I would not like to see Mudcat become a mere social networking site.
