I joined MYLOT 6 months. Now I find that all my old friends who were active then are now nowhere. So when I checked up they all have signed up before 4 months. So I dont know what to do with them, whether to delete them from the Freinds list or to leave then as such.
The fist friend in my freind has left out. So I dont want my profile visitors to be wrongly guided by adding tham as friends. So I dont know whether they will become active or not. I am in dilemma whether to delete them or not.
What do you do with such friend on the list do you have them so the your count of friend increases or do you delete them as they are of no use. Please guide me to decide . Thanking you in advance!!!

Leave them there without deleting them. Who knows some day they will be active again? What do you think? You don't have to pay them for that. lol

We dont have to pay anything , but Many people just join and quit , there is no use having them in your list thats what I meant , what if someone adds as friend , wronly guided , they me rate me bad...This is my point of view..

Can they rate us bad if they don't like us? I have never thought about this. Where to rate? But I will never rate anyone bad. Different viewpoints are always welcome to me.

Next to every discussion and every comment of other user , You can see a '+', '-' and '!' sign. This is how you can rate others users. The is a major responsible factor for ratings on you star.
As you as many expects different views , and different viewws therefore never receive negative ratings. They are always positively rated. But what if you see a responses ' I dont know 'to your to your question ....how would you feel then , there are people who do this to increase their points. If this case they receive negative ratings. Maybe you have not experienced this. But I have many times. I write a private message to them.
Good Luck !!!

I have the same situation like yours. Of the 240 plus friends I have, almost half of it are inactive for months now. I just leave it and didn't bother to delete them. I was thinking they might come back again. Some of them indeed come back but for a short period of time only. Others have completely vanished into thin air.

Yes you are right you dont have to pay them and they are no harm being in your list. But what would you do if you first friend fappens to be so. I feel that my profile will be looked down by other with the first friend with 80 points. The 2 nd and 3 rd too are inactive and only those people are dispaled in my friends list . WHat would you do now...?

I understand what you mean. If you checked the first page of my friends alone, only 2 are active there. I was thinking if only mylot can allow us to arrange our friends according to the most active one down to those who had magically disappeared, I would have done it right away.

I miss them.
I don't and haven't removed anyone except those who do things I don't like.

P.s your friend may come back :) we never really know, unless they get banned.

I often will go through my friend list there are a few that I have deleted. I am not worried about lack of friends on here there is always someone requesting to be friends, I have a few that are very faithful. I like to get to my friends discussions when I am on here so if some appear to be inactive I will sometimes delete them just to clean up a bit. I am not trying to offend in the beginning when I did this I felt bad, but I do not now if they happen to come back on mylot maybe they will request again and I am sure I will except.

I've been noticing the same thing on my friends list. It looks like I have a bunch, but only a few are active. I've just let all mine on, but never thought about others checking our friends and using them as a guide as to who to add on their list. I'll be watching to see what others are doing.

Hi, i think its time to let them go and let them fly.
If they are true to us they would not have remain silent.
They would come back if they do remember.

I have deleted friends for beeing inactive. i have a few now that are on the verge of beeing deleted.
There is no need for me to keep them around if they havent logged in for months.. they are just taking up space =)

I am going through this process at the moment , the ones that have not logged in for 2 months or get deleted and the ones that have never answered any of my discussions get deleted. There is no use in keeping them there otherwise. If they do happen to log in one day, and they were a friend then they can easily request again.

i am offline here in mylot for many months because i am been very busy with my studies here and we dont have personal computer at home so i dont have time to go to internet cafe and my allowance is enough for my foods and other requirements at school.so now,it depends on you whether u will delete them or leave them in ur friends lists.

Hello,gpraveenkumar5 ,i have many inactive friends on my list ,but i do not really care,firstly,i do not like to delete people at all no matter that are active or inactive,i do not find any reasons I have to delete someone on my list as there are no limits on the numbers of friends i can keep,it does not have any effect if i keep them there,may be one day they will come back and reply to me,even they do not ,it is not a big deal.

Leave it as it is. You don't just forget a friend simply because you haven't seen him for some time. Who knows when they'll come around? It shouldn't bother you that much. All they do is take up space in your friend list.

i don't do anything! haha. i just let them remain in my friends list. i don't see the need to delete them off my list, or question/blame them why they have been inactive in mylot for so long. as our world doesn't revolve around mylot only, i'm sure they are busy with other things in their lives and don't get to get on mylot as much as they want to.

i don't check much activity of my friends but i think i would like to keep my old friends because maybe after sometime they will start posting on mylot again.

I wouldnt deleate them I have the same thing. And I think everybody does. Just leave them they are not hurting you by staying on there. And thats my advice to you. So good luck on mylot.

I just leave them and turn the notifier off if they are inactive. You just never know they may come back one day.
