Hi, everyone, what is the biggest number of friends you get to see among Mylot members' friend list while surfing, the biggest friend list i came across is about 400 friends. I will assume one with so many friends must have reached that number through requests to everyone whenever he log into Mylot, will you consider to accept this member request if he send you a friend request or you never bother to check on his friend list while accept it or it just doesn't matter to you at all. Thank for sharing your opinion!

i have 411 friends in my list. i notify them all on. but i am not sure if all are active for i dont get 411 notifications on my mail. i still accept friends and soon will be deleting some on my list that i no longer see for 6 months or more. i have a lot of chance to respond on their started discussion but i dont see some of them on my own started discussion. it is frustrating sometimes to know that they are online the same as you are but they seem not to care on the discussion you started. sometimes it is just frustrating.

With more than 5000 posts you have and 400+ friends, you are a very unique member in mylot. lol! I will guess it must have take you few years to reach that many posts and accept whatever friend request come to your inbox. Yes, it is frustrating when someone is supposed to be your friend adopted this 'not to care' attitude, especially if you care about majority of their discussions and contributed regularly in them. But thinking from another angle, how is that possible for you to participate in majority of your friends discussion ( everyone in your list) if not all with several hundred friends you have. hahahaha.... Tell you the truth, many members especially those from certain country or at certain age hardly care about what the word 'friend' mean in mylot, they just sent request over to me with intention of getting me to contribute but not vice-versa. So i deleted half of them from my friend list week ago as i can not get even one support from these so called 'friend' after having them for several months. I can envision you have quite a task ahead of you if you try to clean up some of your friend list now, hahahahahaha.... Alright! Thank for your input, happy mylotting!

Last week i had almost double the number what i have now, i found it time consuming to have more than ten 'true' friends in my list because i make an effort to contribute in majority of my friend discussions if not all of them due to gender type of topic only available for female, and i think i can manage that number quite well so far after deleted them. For me, i don't know why i have that feeling if a friend request come to me from some one that has more than hundred friends is not going to be a sincere one, that just give me an excuse for declining the requests even they are active members now. I believe mylot meaning of 'friend' actually has different meaning for different members here; hahahahahaha...

I'll accept any friend request that comes my way, although I don't send a request to every single person I see. The way I figure is that accepting a request doesn't cost me anything or do me any harm, while being standoffish can. After all, each friend request I turn down is a potential real friend I've turned away. Why be on a social website if I don't want to be social?

Ok! I can see from your point of view, since it is a social network and you want to be sociable, then accept all friend requests. I am thinking that way too at the beginning of my membership. But will you still keep all these members in your friend list after let say two or three months later you found out they are really not interested in contributing to your many discussion topics even though you tried hard to comment in majority of their discussion and have their notify button turn on in your profile while they have your turn off for all these months, you still will consider they can be your potential real friends. I did learn a few things in Mylot how many members think after several months in here, the term ' friend' is not really what it means like in reality. Thank for sharing your thought, happy mylotting!

Well, you have a good point. When it turns out that they don't contribute to my discussions, even though I've tried to contribute to theirs, I just delete them. After all, if they don't care enough to act like a friend, why should they care if I delete them?

I am sure soon enough you get to find out many of the members are of this type of characters in mylot after few months here. They just sent out friend requests hoping you can support his or her discussion but have no intention of repaying in kind. To me,they are more interested in raising their earning here than anything. So new member will normally get friend request from these guys. I hope you have fun in mylot and get to know some real friends soon too. Cheer!

when i was a newbie here at this site i saw a person who starteda discussion that he has 2,000 friends in his friends list. i can no longer remember whi was that member and i dont think i see him.her start any discussion. my wife's friend, she is the one who told me to join mylot has 411. but for me the person i came across here with the biggest friends list is around 961. if that person send a request to me i will accept it. i accept all request, no matter where and whom it is from. i accept it and notify it on. i dont bother checking the list, i just check the discussion started and try to response some.

No kidding my friend, 2000 sound like going to take 10 years in mylot to reach that number for me, hahahahaha....Can you imagine if all these friends notify button are on, his email account will be jammed and storage space will reach full capacity in just one day, forcing the server to his email account crashed, hahahaha.... One member i came across who has about several hundred of friends is complaining no response in her newly discussion topic few days ago, i hardly can see how is that possible, she doesn't want to start discussion anymore according to her, the way she sound is like everyone has the duty to contribute in her discussion but she doesn't have to return in kind, it amazed me how someone can behave like that. She has been my friend for several months too but never supported me but i supported her discussion several times, so now i deleted her from my friend list, i don't like selfish person to be my friend. Mice to hear from you, my friend! And thank for the comment. Happy mylotting
