Deleting friends and my ongoing process. when do you do it?

HaHa, this made me laugh because I only have maybe 5/6 pages of friends, I think. Then I read yours and thought "Wow!", 24 pages? Now that's alot of friends! I feel like a wallflower, haha! I guess I'm a bit picky when I choose friends, and when I'm asked, I check to see what their discussions are, or if they are only interested in money sites. If that's the case, I deny them...I've had enough spam over the last few years. I usually don't start too many discussions, but mostly reply. When I do a discussion, it's seems to always be the same people that respond, and I keep an eye on that too. I don't repsond to all discussions, only the one's that I seem to have something in common with, one's that make me laugh, or at least if I have something useful to add. I do my list about every six months and weed it out.

I do not do it. I see no profit in it for me. I do on occasion delete someone who spams me. I also have been known in the past to remove the people who do lots of discussions but do not respond to me, and maybe do not even do "new" discussions, just repeats of the same one over and over. Other than that, I just deal with the people who come to my inbox.

Well, bunnybon7 the friends list is really a mailing list that you would use to promote your programs on your profile page such as your program sidetick. This is what the friends list is suppose to be used for the promoting and networking with other mylotters. I always accept new friends when someone request it I never delete anyone from my friend's list unless they become a pest which so far no one has. Most mylotters from your friend's list will hardly ever respond to your discussions or posts unless you and them are in agreement that you will answer their discussions or posts it must be prearranged. I never get a response from anyone from my friends list.

hi bunnybon oh please do not delete me as I always respond to you. l.ol I have so many pages, some 800 people and just started weeding out those who i accepted and they never stayed more than a cou ple of weeks or a month or so. also any who have not posted in six months as I they have left mylot. some for a couple of months I have kept specially if they have always responded to my discussions.I just started as this is so unweildy and I am sure a number of them never stayed on. good luck,

I no longer do that because I only add friends that I've seen around Mylot. If their name is unfamiliar to me I will not add them. I do not want pages and pages of people who will not participate in my discussions.. or who's discussions I have no interest in. I do have many friends who are no longer active.. but I leave them on there because they were good friends at one point, and should they ever come back I'd like to know about it and see their discussions again. I believe I have 4 or 5 pages of friends.. that's plenty for me.

Once I've added a friend I do not think about whether they reply to my discussions or not. I don't know if that is something I should consider, but it just does not bother me the amount of replys I get. That also could be because I don't get to spend a whole lot of time on the pc so I just have enough time to read a few discussions, maybe start one if I am so inclined, make a few replies and then I have to go. Like now, I have to go get my duaghter. Actually I am a few minutes late! So frustrating!

I did this once to be honest and it was such a long drawn out boring process that I gave up, mind you when I first started at Mylot I would approve everyone! So that led to me having like your good self about 24 pages of friends! Now to be honest I rarely accept a friendship, mainly because I don't spend as much time on this site as I used to and the fact that a lot of people collect friends like trophies, so I am more select! I wish they could make deleting friends easier rather than doing it one by one!

I hear you, I need to go through my list too, but actually I keep a very small friends list because due to health and various things I am physically unable to spend as much time as I would like here and for the new people who think they want me on their list so they can try to convince me to hook up to all these "SO called Paying Sites" NO not so much I love the deleite button,

I've noticed that I only get notifications from just a certain group of friends. I'm not sure how many pages I have, but its been awhile since I've gone and updated it. The last time I looked almost all of the notifiers were on, so I guess not everybody is active, I only get them from about 5 or 6 different people all the time. I hope I don't get deleted, I try to respond to all the ones I get, if I have something to say.

HI BON, I need to do the very same thing. Don't u just hate getting those from people that put out so many in one day. That drives me nuts & seems as if people that do that never respond to your discussions. I seem to be so far behind around here for the last few days but soon as i have time i'm going to do the same thing. hugs.

The only time I really think to delete people is when they start dozens of discussions a day that I have no interest in. I don't generally delete people just because they're inactive because I know that I go for pretty long periods without coming on here too. I'd feel bad if someone was just like me and one day decided to pop by and found that they had no friends! But if I notice that I added someone with a pretty low post count and see that it's still the same after months and months then sometimes I'll delete them just to clean the list up a bit. Although now I don't usually add people all willy nilly like I did in the beginning of my Mylot career, lol.

I haven't went through my list in a longtime. I do have several pages of friends that never respond too. I don't know if it's because I don't start discussions that they can relate too or if they are just inactive. I am thinking the latter and some of the first.

I never think of deleting any friend from my friend list. I am quite choosy in sending friend request but and request from other is approved. One some one is approved as friend I think it is not fair from to delete from my part. So I never think of deleting any friend from my friend list.

I haven't think of this until now. First, because I'm quite new and I don't have too many friends (only two pages compared to your 24 pages! ) Second, I don't see the use of such an action. If I don't like to receive notifications from any of my friends, I'll turn the notifications off for that particular user. I haven't been spammed yet, but spamming seems a good reason to delete a 'friend'.

Lol well you better not ignore me Lady or I will be coming over that big Pond with Gissi and bug you till you can't ignore me any more lol

I rarely start a discussion but when I do I try top make it a general thing that anyone can comment on but I only ever get a few of my friends responding. It saddens me. Even those people I respond to regularly do not come to my discussions. I've recently added a few people who asked and whom I would not usually add but they have been very good friends by responding to me whenever. I think I need to find mostly new friends.

ignore ignore ignore I was updating my list by deleting inactive accounts from it, but those drop off automatically now. I started deleting people who had been gone a really long time (unless they were close friends), but I haven't done anything lately. For discussion spammers (posting gazillions of discussions and never responding or visiting mine), I just turn off their notifiers.

I am so guilty of this. but not because am ignoring you, am not. I had previously created one hell of a discussions. I was indeed overwhelmed because each topic has more than twelve (12) responses and i get really lazy when it comes to responders having so many words but am sorry to that. i guess now with the new mouse, i can respond better. honestly, i used to be hyper active. but some how being in mylot for too long has led me to slow down. youknow am using clothe gloves just to use the computer.

Hiya bunnybon, No I just leave them on there. They might be having to work much longer hours these Days who knows. They might have loads of problems too. So they would not have much time to on here for the moment. I miss them but they have to have their time and space too offline. If they want to write they will in their own good time. That´s a lot of Friends you have there wow.

Hi Bunnybon7, Well, I do not have 24 pages of friends but then I do not get that many requests. Therefore, doing any purging of my friend's list will take some time. But bunnybon, your way of deleting sounds complex to me. How do you decide that a friend is ignoring you, for instance? Only when they don't respond to posts directly addressed to them or when they do not reply to personal mails, Right? You can't say that someone is ignoring you if they do not participate in your discussions since they may not find the subject interesting (lol). I do agree with you that there are people who become your friend and then forget you. Well, just give them the benefit of doubt-will it make any difference to you? I do not think so!
