What exactly is the purpose of this functionality? What does it do?

If you look at your User CP, it will tell you which of your "buddies" are currently online.

OK, maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't find where on the page it shows that. The "Who's Online" function shows everyone who's online, buddy or not.

Check in your user control panel. You can also send a PM to all of your buddies at once.

EDIT:
OK, with different versions of vBulletin it works like that. I use it on the board our DM has setup for our game. But, it looks like there is a configuration or a version difference here. Odd.

Just for reference, I added Joshua Dyal to my buddy list to test. On vBulletin 2.2.1, I am accustomed to seeing the buddy list on the left hand side of the screen immediately as you enter the User CP. Here on EN World, I have different behavior.

I remember seeing it at one point, but I can't remember how I got to it.

 

[thalmin]

It is the first of 5 unexplained arrows just after the "Welcome (screenname)"

 

[BSF]

Thanks! I didn't even think to look there.

I don't have any buddies.

Nobody likes me.
Everybody hates me.
I’m gonna eat some worms.

CHORUS: (sing after each verse)
Long, slim slimy ones,
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms.

First you get a bucket.
Then you get a shovel.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

First you pull the heads off.
Then you suck the guts out.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Down goes the first one.
Down goes the second one.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one.
Up comes the second one.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Everybody likes me.
Nobody hates me.
Why did I eat those worms?
