Whoah!
When did they upgrade?
I've checked mine a few minutes back and it's still intact. Whew.. I couldn't imagine your sentiments, I'm sure you've got a lot of friends there. But not to worry, you can actually add them once again, one-by-one. It's a lot of work but it would get done.
Or
You could contact friendster and state your problems, maybe they can fix it for you. I'm sure they're waiting for people to tell them about these problems to see if there are bugs in their programming.
Good luck!
Hope everything goes well.

Here's the FAQ in friendster that might can help you not to worry:
Here are some FAQs to help address your concerns:
What happened to my friends?
Currently, the number of friends in the friends list is being displayed incorrectly.
Are my friends lost permanently?
No. The data for all friend connections is intact and is not lost.
When can this be fixed?
Friendster is currently working on this problem and we hope to have this fixed within 24 hours.
Can I still add friends while the problem has not yet been fixed?
Yes, users can still add new friends and use other features of the site.
What caused this problem?
There was a building-wide power outage at the QTS / Globix data center in Sunnyvale, California, USA where Friendster’s servers are co-located, along with about 50 other customers. As a result, the memory caching of data was affected. Since Friendster has 85 million users, the cache is taking a considerable amount of time to build. Once the cache has been completely built, all friends will re-appear.
Cheers!

Hi, i think all friendster's users experienced the same dilemma. Because after I checked my account yesterday, I saw that some of my friends were not there anymore. And my friend told me that Friendsyer are upgrading their system. So I tried to check again after a few hours. Then i saw my friends again.. :)

hi there! i've also been a friendster member for many years now.and i also noticed that the site has frequent problems lately.i wasn't able to check it now.but i hope my friends and all my settings and other stuff there are still intact.i guess you need to contact the admin of the site to solve your problem.if you have lots and lots of friends,you will surely have a hard time adding them again.

Me too! My friends are all gone except for the featured friend.
But I think it is just temporary, I'm hoping our friends will just return after they finished upgrading.
However, if it doesn't, then we should better contact the friendster team.

I am not sure since I am pretty sure that I have a friendster account, but I dont check it regular. I think I will check it out in a minute since I forgot all about it for some reason. :(
