It is necessary that there be a limit. Valve must maintain a reverse contact list in order to notify all your friends when changes happen to your status (online/offline/in-game, etc.) The amount of effort required to do that goes up dramatically when you get into hundreds of friends.

There is some glue, sometimes at 245/295 friends you get full, sometimes only at x over the max. Tip: make one or more groups, make it invite only and get them to be member. With up to 149 members you can directly chat with them via the groups tab in friendslist. At 150 this stops.

This is the error I'm getting: #Profile_AddFriendYourListFull #Profile_AddFriendYourListFullDesc ... ... ... just tried it by clicking on + ADD A FRIEND at the bottom of the Friends window and it just came up with this: 'Could not invite this friend. Your limit is exceeded.' Really? Are you kidding me? I can't have anymore friends? Is this a joke?
