Today's unoriginal myLot topic

In my case, i just leave them on my list and ignore. I never drop someone and i got lots of people in my list which is not active and never participate in my discussions. But to those friends of mine who participated on my discussions i always do in return to them. Happy myloting. Cheers!

Once the list gets to big it is almost impossible to keep up with it, so I just leave it alone. I figure that I must have done or said something right for them to want to be my friend. So they obviously want to be on my list, who am I to take them off and take away that pleasure from them?

I found this discussion interesting ans so I have come forward to respond to this.All I could say is that I also do the same thing.

I was going to re check my friends list. I was going to delete inactive users. However when I read other people comments and feedback, I did not continue deleting inactive users. It is not the first time that they return after quite a long time. © ronaldinu 2008

I am with you on this one. Too lazy to clean. i do enough cleaning at home. So I just let mine accumulate more names lol

I leave it as it is, I never drop one. I add and add if there are some requests. But I only add them after viewing their profiles. I stopped requesting for friends, they just come.

My list of friends is not that huge at all and no doubt because I am not what you would call a "regular" poster here on myLot. Also I do not request friends but simply accept those who make a request - if we have something in common or I like the look of their posts that I read when the request is made. On that basis it makes sense for me to leave the list as it is without making any changes. However I do know that some on my friends list have not been here on myLot posting for a very long time. When it comes tor responding to discussions, I scan through those started by people on my friends list and respond to any that grab my attention. After that I check out general discussions and if something appeals, I will rad it through and make my response if I have anything extra to add. At the same time I can understand that some people might get upset if they have friends who never respond to any of their discussions, so deleting those inactive ones does make sense. At least it keeps the list manageable when it is a matter of the only discussions responded to are the ones started by friends.

I say to each his own. For me, I clean my list. If a person does not always reply to my response, no problem. If a person never does any of my discussions, I delete him, because I have all my friends "on"...and I answer all discussions I can at least relate to. I accept most people as friends unless they endorse things I am against. I delete people who love to argue with me. Just today someone said that I sicken her but I also entertain her. lol....Hey, what can I say? I have gifts, and I use them!!!! lol

I don't delete any of my friends if they are being inactive because I know of a few who absolutely love MyLot but they never have the time to log-in except for once a week because they have demanding jobs and don't always have the time to get online. So I can't hold that against them and delete them for it. I think it's rather petty to delete anyone who hasn't caused you any problems. But if I approve a new friend that decides to spam me with their affiliate links without asking then there is a good chance I'll delete this person.. So basically I see no point in cleaning up my list even if some of my friends are hardly on sometimes.I was away for mylots for almost a year after I joined because I didn't have a computer and I was ill for some months and I was surprised when I came back and saw that none of my friends deleted me. But then some of them vanished months ago from Mylots also..LOL.. Ok about friends never commenting on my post. I do actually have a few friends on mylots who make a point to respond to almost every discussion I create, but I don't have many discussion on my own basket yet and for me it's quicker to respond then babysit a new discussion I created. But then I do notice that there some people on MyLot that do nothing but create new discussion non-stop and they never reply to anybody elses discussion except their own or their good buddy's which I find very odd ( Not unless you get paid more for doing this or something?). I really don't get hung up on the Mylot details too much. I just usually observe the obvious as I go. But the good part of having many friends is that there is a always a large selection of dicussions to pick and chose from:)

I don't have enough people on my friends list yet to say that I've dealt with these problems. but when I do I figure I'll just deal with it just like I do with my hotmail messenger account. I just add anyone who requests me as a friend and keep them there. I usually like to check out the new discussions and now I'm checking out the discussions that my friends have. So the more to me the better. I figure it's probabl more fun to see what's going on with people that you regularly read up on.

I pretty much leave my list alone, but I have to admit it takes me a long time to accept people. I like to see what people are about before I accept them, and a lot of the time I don't have the time to check them out properly. Once someone is on my list they will pretty much stay on there, unless for some reason they turn in to a real jerk, but that has not happened. I don't have time to weed my list out, by checking everyone on it to see if they are active or not. If they are not active I won't see anything from them, I'm OK with that.

I've deleted 3 friends whose topics offended me a lot! All the rest, active or inactive, supportive or not supportive remain in my list. My system is to answer all topics of my supportive friends. (Of course their notifications are all put on so that I'd get the notice in my mailbox.) It's my way of returning the favor to them for they've also been supportive to me in the first place. After responding to all those chosen few, I'd go over all posts of other users and answer those that attract my interest.

I use the notifier to see which one of my friends starts a discussion and I would often answer to those whose topic I find it good and interesting and leave the others alone.Moreover,when you have too many in the friends list and too many notifications in your inbox,you hardly find time to respond to each one of them and better to be quiet than say or comment on something that I have no interest or nothing much to say about.I don't delete or drop any of my friends just because they are not taking part in my discussions.I can understand that,with many fellow myLotters in friends list and so many interesting topics posted,it gets difficult to post and respond to everybody when you don't have enough time to sit in front of your system.Happy myLotting my friend!

my friends' lists increases in numbers, i have not rejected a request. unless maybe, they would delete me in their lists... sometimes i browse on my friends list and check on their profile... :)

I have not dropped anyone from my friends list yet. I do not have time to do it usually.

sounds like my system is just like yours. I do use the notifier to see who starts a discussion. But I often skim over it and pick out those people and subjects I like and leave the others alone. Why comment on something that I have no interest in? That just in not a logical thing to do.

I just clean my list today, based on people activity and my previews communication with the person. I deleted people not active for the last 3 months. Most likely they are not coming back. I wish I can sort friends by activity, but I didn't have that choice.

I have never turned down any friend request in all this time. I never remove anyone from my list once they have been added. I have friends who are out now but will come back. I am not too quick to remove someone because things happen that they have to deal with. I do try to answer every poster.

I haven't deleted anyone yet but yet again i haven't been here that long lol.. 8 days isn't enough to say someone is active or inactive =P No i don't think i'll delete someone for not taking part in my discussions because they simply might not find them interesting or just don't have an answer to my question (i had two about computer problems one answered one im awaiting an answer to lol)... As of yet no one has offended me so awfully that i feel okay of with his/her head! On mylot one person has been unreasonably insulting even when trying to be polite in his discussion (religious one yea yea i asked for it) but he isn't on my list, i said okay you clearly don't want to learn anything or talk just be rude so good day... he then took to being insulting =P if he were insane enough to send a friend request i'd think im high or something and that would be the first denied friend request lol I am sleep deprived so if im rattling on and on not making sense please excuse me and don't delete me =P

Honestly I don't really pay attention to it. If someone would really offend me and all then yes I would remove that person. But I don't think I'd remove anyone that is not active anymore or someone that I don't know or never talk to. I just leave the list alone.
