Do You Delete Friends

Hello pinklily. I don't delete my friends since i am just new here and i only have few friends. But if ever i have man friends, i would not delete them because it's just the way i am. I would be very glad if you can be my friend. :D

No and I feel no need to delete friends I would only consider deleting a friend from my list if they were rude and mean or really passkey, but so far I haven't felt it necessary to deleted anyone from my friends list, and I generally never delete friends unless its absolutely necessary, I think thats kind of mean to delete someone unless theres a really good reason.

No I do not delete anyone that I have accepted as a friend. If they were good enough to accept or request as a friend in the first place, something major would have to happen to warrant deleting them at any time. I can see from my list of friends that many of them have not been active for some time now. Some of them have signed in it seems but simply not posted anything or if they have, it has been deleted. Actually I am in the same position with regard to activity here on myLot. Often my work plus our small organic farmlet takes up a lot of my time, which means that there are often times when I do not sign in for weeks or even months. On that basis who am I to criticise or delete anyone else for their lack of activity. When I am able to sign in and post here on myLot, I always check the discussions started by my friends. So if any of those friends who have been inactive for a while was to return and start a discussion, I would pick I up that way. Yes there is a chance that some of my friends have deleted me. That was possibly because I was inactive for a while but that is their loss as I probably do not see any of the discussions they start. That of course means that I do not respond to them.

pinklily...No, I would not delete a "myLot" friend, to me they are as much a friend as those in real life. There could be a very good reason for their silence, and I would not want to add complications to whatever reasons they have! Yes, I would send them a message, and have done so in the past! As a matter of fact I was just thinking of doing that to friends I have not seen post for a while!I don't think I would even delete some-one if there was controversy....and another thing that I do is rate "negative." I feel better, just not rating them at all! Nice to have you back, and hope you find your friends! Cheers!

Hi pinklilly. I haven't do it and maybe would never do it. I can't find a good reason to do so even if some friends will be inactive here. I feel so sad for you and can't figure out why some of your friends deleted you for a reason of inactivity. Maybe I will do such thing if that person said offensive and personal writings on my discussions. I do hope I will not experience it since I really enjoyed my stay here in my lot and exchanges thoughts with my friends and to some mylotters too.

I delete friends all the time. The reason being is that I like to see some of the discussions that maybe 1 or 2 of my friends started or responded to. I might want to add a comment. But I found that with having over 4 friends, there a too many pages to view to see what discussions my friends are in. I don't have the patientce for all of that. But I don't really care if I have alot of friends here or not. I wouldn't take it personal if someone deleted me. I usually look for people who at least live in the same state that I'm in. It depends on how cool you become with someone on mylot. If you exchange email address and even a phone number and you talk with this person outside of mylot, then that's a real friend you've made. Half the people that requested to be my friend, I either don't even speak to them after adding them, or I get a bunch of requests from someone who's discussion I didn't even respond to. It's not a personal thing if I delete someone. It's just another form of a chat room. If you make a real friend here that's cool. But for me, I don't see the point of having 100 people in my friends list that I don't speak to on a day to day basis. I have approved so many friends and I don't even conversate with half or any of them. So they get deletd after a while. I look at it like this, the millions of peole you meet here you will never see them face to face anyway. If you excahnge contact information with someone here and you talk to them regular by email or phone, and they happen to delete you, but the 2 of you still communicate with each other, how offensive could that really be? I wouldn't think it would be.

Yes, sometimes I do delete friends, I hjave so many of I wold say 50% of them don't even respond. I want to delete more of them, some of them aren't even active. Happy Holidays to you!

From time to time I can honestly say there are friends I have accepted as a friend I have deleted due to a couple of reasons. Sometimes it is because they are No longer active in here, but other times it might be because I cannot agree with the type of discussions they have started, and find them to be things that are against my beliefs as well. Then I have deleted some for SPAM, etc. as well. No, most of the friends I have continue to stay on my list, but from time to time I feel the need to delete someone as well. Glad to still have you on my friends list though as well.

No, I never delete friends, because later I might regret it. I prefer to be always positive during my online time, and deleting just strikes me as negative, although if a friend has been inactive for ages, then this might not be the case. But as I say, I've never done it.

hi there pinklilly.. it's been a long time that i haven't had time to respond to your discussion.. hope that you will understand me..well, i havent delete friends here because they always be my friend eventhough, they don't having responses to my discussions, it's fine with me and i understand them.. maybe, because they have their own valid reasons why they don't respond or maybe they are busy, just like me sometimes..and it's fine with me if they will delete me from there friends lists..i just only trying my very best to add comment and thank all who had their responses..happy mylotting..

I will never delete a friend because they have been inactive. I understand that life gets busy and most things in life are more important than being on the computer 24/7. The only thing that will make me delete a friend, is if they constantly send me annoying SPAM messages trying to get me to sign up for something or if they are being rude.

I cull my friends' list about every ten days. The criteria I usually use are a lack of their discussions that I find interesting, or they have been inactive for a good while. I might make someone a friend on the basis of a clever response to something, but if their next twenty discussions are about how much they make on Mylot or what colour panties do you wear, they're gone.

I have never deleted a friend. Some of my friends are not very active, but I don't think that is a reason to delete them. Maybe they are busy with other things at the moment and that is totally okay. I don't delete friends who don't answer my discussions. I always appreciate it when they answer and it makes me happy, but I don't EXPECT them to answer. My friends and I share some interests, but there are lots interests that we don't share. Sometimes I am interested in certain topic, but I can't expect everyone else to share that interest and I can't expect everyone to respond.

Online friends seem to be harder to keep than real friends. The constant upkeep you mentioned is close to impossible unless you are an overly social person, IMO. I have deleted lots of 'friends' from various websites and messaging clients, why, mostly because I couldn't remember who they were or what we had in common that made me add them to my list in the first place. LOL

I would say I have never deleted anyone. Actually I have friends from 10 years ago that I never see on, but they are still on my list.. I am talking about everylist, not just this site. my messengers etc...

No, at least not for the reasons you mentioned. I did delete one person before. It was after they had made a comment on one of my pictures that was rather uncalled for. I would have commented directly back, but mylot didn't have this option at the time. So I did what I thought was the next best thing. I deleted their comment and them from my friends list. That way they couldn't comment directly on my pictures anymore. At least not the ones on my profile anyway. I've also found myself deleted by some users as well. Like you, I used to wonder why. But now I don't care. I do try to be a good mylotter. I may not be able to post much (with being a wife, mother, and now with working outside the home I just don't have the time), but I do try to stay somewhat active on here. If other mylotters have a problem with that and want to delete me from their friends list then that's their loss. And no, I don't think you are wrong for never deleting a friend. If you want to keep all of the people on your friends list, that is your choice. And I for one think it's a good one at that! Happy mylotting!

When I first joined I let anyone be my friend but I found that some of them just wanted to be friends so they could sent pm's to push their money making programs and they never responded to my discussions. So I went through my friends list and culled the ones who did not share my interests. Now I check people out carefully when they ask to be friends. Some I say no to and some I take on to see if they are ok. Most of the time I find that people will ask to be my friend just because I respond to one of their discussions but never respond to mine. If someone never responds to my discussions and I do not like theirs then I will delete them.

Hi friend,I never delete friends.What is the necessity to delete?I dont even notice whether all my friends respond my discussion or not.There are thousands of discussions crossing us all the time in mylot so we cant be searching only our friends discussions and responding.What I feel is we can give a quality response only for the discussions which interest us and the subject we are familiar with.If we reply only our friends discussions then we may not get some subject to respond.We would be wasting our time too.So I never mind if my friends do not respond to my discussions and will never delete a friend for such reasons .I feel deleting a friend for any reason is silly. Thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

hello pinklily! I never tried to delete my friends and never planned to do so. Whether they will respond to my discussion or not, I don't care. As long as I am earning here through responding to some discussion. Having many friends is a good thing to me. Just like what you said, it's not wrong not to delete your friends, so continue with what you're doing and welcome back!

I do not like to delete a friend,but they can not see for a long time;I miss them! And sometimes they say,they do not answer,a long time,they will be forgotten!How about you?
