Do you ever delete lots of friends of your mylot list ?

I agree with your justification and believe that if we are 'friends', we must support each other, as and when and as much as possible. Many thanks for your comments.

Sometimes i check it too, although in general i have accepted all the requests and if that particular member got me upset or something by starting to spam me for example, i just deleted him as a result. As i said all i want is the slightest sign of interest from my friends on the list, because that's the reason why i call them friends, right ? I think we see eye to eye about a short but active list

I'm on the to keep list then! HAPPY. Huggles. Ellie :D

Ellie come on :D you know me better than that. I would never delete somebody who answered one of my discussions or who left a comment for my pictures or profile. You have proven your friendship more than once so you are a keeper for me - no need to ever worry ;)

First of all, if they helped me at any time in their history of friends, i would not delete them - you said "beucase you did not get help from them anymore." - well they never did anything for me - no comments on a picture, no response to any of my discussions (and i have quite a few)- not even a lousy "hi" on my profile so that i know that i am not just a filled up space in their profile.

ok..got you why you did that... but still i think its no right to do that because your friends no help you.and you give them up.... cheers

I know of an exact example of what you have described elitess and as far as I am concerned, adding this many "friends" just to get mass responses completely defies the whole purpose of being a member of this community. If many of the people reponding are being replied to, or having their own discussions responded to in parallel, then I would think differently. But for most people with mass connections they are purely building tally's and not friendships at all.

James... i will tell you what some people may try - they try to get let's say 10.000 friends in order to get at least 100 posts to their discussion - and i have seen it even work, but i don't like this, as i would never be able to keep up with all of them just for the sake of it.

Well, i may not have explained it thoroughly. I meant i deleted people who for example never shown the slightest interest towards me and apart from that all their discussions are about money making sites - why would i keep a person like that ? Or another example a person that never responded to my discussions and now it has been offline for more than 2 months ? I think those people just take up space in my profile and keep me from concentrating on my real friends that either start interesting discussions, or show a slight interest to me, or even are active within a few fields even if i can't always respond to their topics, but i try my best to do so. Just that we are clear: i would never delete a member that shown the slightest interest towards me: a comment on a picture, on a discussion or on a profile; or a person that at least has been active and has more than one interest. I would never delete you or any other of the persons that i see here active, and sometimes even active in my discussions as i cherish my true friends.

Yup, i totally agree with you braveheart. I think some people might be just busy and have no time to do mylot yet. Let's just continue to be friends with them. Making a lot of friends is so fun but deleting them is another. I will not delete them either.

Well i always thought that if they are going to come back and would want your friendship again - they may ask it again, right ? I mean if they left for such a long time it is understandable for you to make room for new friends and if they come back and want your friendship... it's not hard to ask it.

Hi there lulu. The thing is that i have many topics started from different interests and at least one of them is bound to catch a friend's attention. I mean that friend could at least leave a comment (like hey there). I think that for a person to be considered my friend he should at least show me the slightest interest for it. I would rather prefer quality over quantity.

I totally can understand what you feel. I don't think that much about this issue, from my point of view, it's better to have friends rather an enemy. I read from other discussions, some people commented that they won't reply to the discussions if there is already similar answers replied. I think this makes sense too, or perhaps the other friends are too busy with their own stuff or discussions. Anyway, i don't really mind about this. I'm just happy to make friends here every day.
