I just don't keep friends that add me for no reason and don't reply to anything I message or comment them on. I delete them. So please don't get offended. I also get rid of people who aren't very active and don't talk about anything I'm interested in.. That's just me. I don't know if it's mean or.. But I'll do this every weekend. Every new friend I add gets a week and I'll wait and see how they turn out..an I delete people on the weekend. That's just how it is..this isn't a popularity thing..this is me having very little time online. I don't have time to wade throufgh pages and pages of friends or their discussions..I'll make an exception if they're very good or ery intresting..but other than that..sorry. Does anyone else do the same thing friends-wise..or something similiar? Or do you just keep everyone you add? Just wonderin'.

Well this is only up to you choice... like everyone else can choose what to do with friends on friends list..... I have some friends in inactivity state (sleeping), but I don't mind so much about it.. since I don't have huge list of my friends..... one of them who are inactivy member is my referal and I know that he has not so much time to come here and write, since he has some seriously jobs over the internet...

I cleaned out my friend's list. I delete them if they do not post replies on my discussion's or I don't have anything in common with them. At first I added everyone, now I do deny friend request's. At one point I was going through some friend's profile and posting replies to their discussion's and then I looked and noticed they had never replied to mine, so that's when I decided to delete some friend's.

I usually dont delete people off my friends list.I usually dont like my actions hurting others and it is the little actions like these that offend others.

Whether either of us likes it or not little pains like these make people learn things..sooner or later. I was never afraid of offending someone anyway..careful not to.. Another point is .. is it nice of them to add me as a friend then flat out ignore me? It's like spamming to me sortof..spamming up my friends pages. Anyway you can do what ye like, dearie-o..you probably have faster computer than me anyway and can surf the pages faster.

I would say this is what is called Attitude problem... Or will not even hestitate o to call it being selfish .. I find it very hard to expect why every second person nowadays is expecting a hell of a things from others .. These are the expectations which according to me is root cause of all disputes and fights .. People start expecting with no reason , and when they do not get fulfilled .. result is terrible . Can't two persons be friends with no conditions .. can't two presons be in love without expectations ? IS LOVE REALLY CONDITIONAL .. Do we love someone after getting an agreement signed by him pr her that the given person will do this and that .. Is there a code of conduct for everything .. Can't we be just ourselves when we are with our beloved ones . or we have to keep pretending what we are not .. I do not hesitate to tell my friend that he/she is too bad in this thing or other .. Ya U may call me a follower of stoicism .. But life is all about being true and i hate being double facet atleast to those whom I love or those who love and care about me

Hi ya! I can't see the point in having friends if they don't interact with you, I go through my list on a daily basis as I try to join in with at least one of my friends discussions per day if possible. I added quite a few to start off with but they didn't seem to be very good 'friends' if they didn't bother to respond to at least one of your discussions. So now my friends have been chosen on their quality of their discussions and whether I have an interest in them and also whether they have responded to any of my discussions too! It's not mean, these people are all active mylotters that are on everyday so there's no reason for them to at least put one response to my discussions! I always turn to my friends discussion to answer those as they are ALWAYS the quality discussions on here!!

As long as my mail box is full enough and not overflowing I will keep the friends I have on Notify On. They help me to earn as I learn and that is fine by me. I don't wade through pages, I go down the list and answer the ones that I can from the folder in my email. It works nicely for me. Can keep track of who is most active that way too. Haven't deleted anyone yet.
