I don't remember I added him as a friend....

August 20, 2009 3:05am CST
After a long time not being on Mylot, I just visited my profile, and my friend list. Some people looked familiar to me, as we used to respond to each other's discussions. Some others, well, I think I know them. But the rest seems completely strange to me. I don't even remember I added or approve them as friends . I think it happened because in the past I just added and added friends, approve and approve friend requests and we ended up never keep in touch. What about you? Do you sometimes feel the same?

Hi sutan! I remembers who my mylot friends are. Since my notifications are all on, it helps me to always get in touch with my friends everyday. Even those who have been inactive for long.

Sutanhartanto sometimes friends go and leave a comment on a rather old response or revive an old discussion. Do you also have those notifiers set to 'on' in your 'preferences' at the top of the page?

Hi Iskayz, I also activate the notifications, but it alerts me only if a friend start a new discussion. But it of course help us remember our friends

And from time to time I also check on my friends list. To see how long my old friends have been gone.

I guess I am lucky that I have a very good visual memory. When I receive a friend request, if it is from a user that I am not already ware of, I go to their profile and see where they are from and which age group they are in. Then I look at what sort of interests they are involved in and how they came to be intrested in having me on their list. Then, most times, I accept them. Once on my list I never forget them even months later. If they are on my list then there is always something special that I can remember them by

That's great! You have an excellent virtual memory and good system of adding friends. Oh, it's funny that I think I added you as my friend because you look familiar to me. But when I visited your profile, I notice that you are not .

@ sutanhartanto We have bumped into each other many, many times on here but never got any closer. That has now been rectified @ iskayz You know that if you disappear my friend I send out the dogs to sniff you out, remember?

There are so many people on my friends list I can never remember who added who. But I do sometimes wonder who my friends are if they happen to change their avatar, especially if they do it a lot and I can't remember them by their username alone. I just have to ask, do you recognize me as one of your friends? Or do you not remember who I am? We are on each others friends list, after all. LOL Welcome back sutanhartanto. Happy mylotting!

LOL thanks. Yep, I sure did...at least in the beginning. I finally stuck to one for about 2 years. I don't know how long I plan on keeping my current one, but probably not as long as my last one, that's for sure!

Perhaps some people have changed the avatars, so you can't recognize them:) I think this is the reason. As sometimes I even can't recognize my friend immediately when they change the avatars suddenly. I have to spend some time to recognize them again. You haven't changed your avatar so that I still remember you:) I love China

I think you have changed your avatar two times...(haven't you?). But I always remember you because you have a unique username

Hi Sutan Yes, sometimes I feel the same with you, but I think it's better to have more friends here, because our discussion can be seen by more people if we have more friends.. When I started mylot 1 month ago, I really need friend, so I send pm and approve all friend requests here. Well, maybe you and them have different online time and thus you rarely meet them here? or they have changed their avatar? Personally, I think it doesn't matter you keep in touch with all your online friends or not, because there are so many! Impossible to know them one by one closely, and who knows they are real or not? Just be nice and polite to other and more friends means better chance for our discussion to get responses

Hello Chrysant, Yes we come from different countries and live in different time zones, so it makes sense that we are online at different time. Thanks for your advice :) Happy Mylotting!

Hey der, how are you doing? I hope you remember me? Well yeah even i accept frend request and then i dont see them again, I mean i dont see any discussion started by them and then i dont see them responding to mine. So i guess we dont usually remember if we have added them in the first place...

Lol. Yes, that's what I also did when I first started here in mylot. I have a lot of friends in my list that I haven't heard from in along time. And there are even ones that are unfamiliar to me, as if we've never communicated before. Do you think it would be fine to erase them now from the list?

Yes, I also felt the same way as you. Too many friends, who have welcomed me into his friend, and too many friends that I sent a request to be friends. I know some of them as they often respond to discussions, but many were unknown to me, I feel this is very reasonable, considering the number of a friend owned. I'm also from Indonesia, will you accept my friendship request?

Yes it can happen sometimes. Sometimes people become inactive and when they come back after long time we are not able to recognize them. Also if there are too many friends we can not follow the discussions started by all of them so we tend to forget them. But as I have less friends so I do tend to remember almost all of them. But as I remember people normally by their avtar image, I sometimes do not recall my friends when they change their avtar image.

That makes sense. It is sometimes easier to remember an image than a name.
