Do You Go Through Your Friends List Frequently?

hi dear pigglies it must be reviewed and the deadwood be thrashed out!!yes it is time to review the list!!i will do it shortly . thanks for reminding me of that!!

well as a mylot 'virgin' i only have 1 friend(boohoo!) still not too sure what i'm doing on the site yet will get in2 it though!!!!

I haven't done that in a long time but it is a great idea. I have people wanting to be my friends . I think I will have more room for new friends if I weed out inactive friends on my list.I am still on the list? Talk to you later.

Yes, I do periodically review my friends' list. I also find that many whom I have added have now become inactive and do not participate in my discussions or vice versa, I 'delete' those persons' names from my list to make my list 'neater' (as mentioned by you). I think there is no use of adding 'inactive' friends, it does not help either of the two. I have observed some members just keep on adding others (me including) just of the sake of lengthening their list of friends. My contention is if me or my friends - either of us are not interacting through our discussions between us, there is no fun in remaining in each other's list. I wish those friends on my list, who come forward to participate in my discussions and who start some interesting discussions, so that I could contribute something in their discussions. I find you start interesting discussions most of the times, but sometimes, I am unable to answer each of your discussion, because I may not be knowing about the subject or due to some other reasons. I hope me not replying to your each discussion will be taken in right spirit by you.

I went looking for a "friend" because I wanted to turn her notification off - maybe I'll turn it on AFTER the election, but 95% of what she's posting is political and I'm just annoyed by them. While I was on there, I deleted a lot of people. I started on page 10 - cause I knew I had accepted her after that and when I started I had a FULL 21 pages of friends. I am now just about 4 on page 20 so that was almost 30 people I deleted.

Hi Pigglies! I seldom go through my friends list. Well, I am new here and only add a few friends now. Surprisingly, when I check some poster's profile, I found many have a long long long friends list!!I don't know how to organize it if I add many in the future! Maybe someone can answer this question? Thanks!

Well, I try going thru and updating my Friends list at least 1-2 times a month. It always amazes me how many people are on there that have not been active in quite a while now, and some of these people used to be really Good friends in here as well. I never delete just because I do not know them, or they do not post often back to mine. I will delete if they SPAM me in any way, or if their discussions they start are against how I believe though. It just keeps things a little more calm.

I do not really worry about it too much, I don't want to go through the effort of finding inactive people, this could be time spent making posts I normally accept any friend requests, I do check out their questions from time to time too. I do not really exchange messages with anybody on here, but nobody has messaged me recently

I don't do it frequently but I do it often enough to clear out the people that are not active. I probably go through my friends every few months. I just look and see if their posts are increasing. If they are not increasing, then I delete them. The people that are really active get to stay on my list. I also try and get rid of those that don't really use Mylot in an effective manner. If they're just here kind of abusing the system then I try to get rid of them so they don't reflect badly upon me I guess.

I seldom go through my friend's list. It will take too much time and if I did I would not make enough money. I went through it once and deleted some who were very nasty to me and added some nice people to it. I ask anyone who asks me to now. I need all the help I can get, but I really do not have that much time to go over it again and again. Maybe if I was fabulously wealthy then I might.

Im anal about it just like I am with keeping things around the house organized. If I have a friends list of like 200 people that would feel more like homework to me because I want to respond to my friends somewhat on a regular basis according to my schedule, at least, so I think I would get all stressed out with a bunch of people I do not know on my list, it would just be hard to keep track of incoming conversations right?

I was adding everyone and anyone at first but after reading in a few discussions about people just friend requesting when they haven't even got the same interests and then not responding to your disscussions i've become much more warey. I now only accept people that look like i will be interested in their discussions and will be an interesting mix as it gets time consuming trying to keep up with all the discussions especially if i miss a day or 2 and have to catch up. I'm getting there now though as i rarely have any emails that i don't want to respond to. I have to thank ellie333 as she was one of the first people to help me through everything and suggest friends etc shes an angel god bless her!! i miss this place when i don't come on for a couple of days am i sad or what.

it's a pity that we never met each other since we graduated from university. after that, we found job in different places, even different province, we have ourself job, self life, self business,self communication circle. we never have change to meet old friends, even we forget them because of busy daily job. sometimes, we will think of each other suddenly in the deep hight.

Hi just started here looking to make new friends have a few already like the idea of making comments on different discussions & make a little cash too so be my friend I like to write so maybe will get a few topics started so nice to meet you & have a good day

Hi friend, i hardly delete friends in my list. That is i scarcely delete them. I have 825 plus friends. Eventhough it may have inactive friends. But i never do this. Because many times inactive friends came back after gap. Its wrong to delete them. Thanks

Me, too. I don't have the time to go through my friend's list. However, when I am reading out discussions, I try to look out for discussions started by my colleagues, if I can remember them.

Personally, I have never denied any friend request to me as far as I can remember. Almost always, I accept every friend request I receive because at the back of my mind, I don't want my friend request for other mylotters to be denied. In fact, I also don't bother checking on their profile before or after approving their friend requests. It's not that I'm not interested but honestly, I only have a limited time for using the company's computer for personal purposes like surfing the internet. Some say that friends do help in acquiring a lot of responses for your discussions. I do believe in this eventhough it's not my habit of checking who replied to my discussions. Whether they are people who directed friend requests to me or not, I don't make this a reason to have a grudge on my existing online friends. I know that they are not always available or they might be preoccupied with a lot of other things to check up on my discussions or to reply to them. I hope that they do feel the same way as I am, because I also am not twenty four hours online here. In fact, my opportunity to use the bank's computer may even be shortlived as the company I am working with for almost four years now is planning to close shop by the end of the present year.

I was kind of anal about it where I would just keep a certain amount of friends because at the time it just seemed like it made sense. I did it since I have been here I wanted to keep track of new discussions and on top of things but I did take the advice of others and add more friends because it will spread my discussions out and give them more exposure and it worked so now I just add everybody. I do think my cutting off point would be 1/150 though.

I ve deleted only 2 persons so far. And that too because I found them abusing others. As for inactive friends I am not removing them just because I saw discussions by people who returned back after a long time and are happy they returned. They will learn and come back any time to mylot and how can we leave them friendless upon their return.

yes i agree. last week i also check my friend list and delect some who are inactive and make te list look more neater.in fact the inactives are just take up the space in the friend list so it is well done doing that.
