I know I am not the only one that feels this but when I first started here at mylot I made alot of cool friends here that I would love to come on here and chat with everyday. It hasn't even been a year for me being here at mylot and I've noticed that more than 1/2 of my friends on my list have up and gone and I miss them. I truely wish that they would come back but I doubt it . I have made some new friends here since my old ones left but I can't help but think should I just delete the whole friends list and start over or wait and see who comes back of my old friends? How often do you clean out your friends list? It just feels like empty all the sudden for me "I miss you guys come back you know who you are"

Hi Remembering, don’t be sad, we are in the same boat as well. Many of my old friends who I had met and had mutual interaction frequently before, yeah during those earlier days when I was new here, had no longer to turn up anymore. Anyway their avatars are still sitting in my friends list. I don’t think I would delete them. If they won’t come back again I would rather keep them as a remembrance there. Nowadays I feel tired to spend extra time to clean my friends as there are users keep on sending request to me but haven’t seen most of them turn up even once, after the approval. Yeah I had deleted lots of those inactive users with posts made below 20 long ago. Nowadays I prefer to set the notification buttons of those good friends who like to have mutual interaction on only, so that I could respond their new discussion easily. I find that the amount of friends in my friends list is not so important anymore, for I always offer the priority to friends who like to have interactive response. I would respond to friends started only if they are really interesting, and of course I could answer them easily within my ability. Don’t worry, I believe there are still many users with common interest too and hope that we could come across more of such type of good friends here Happy posting and take care.

Yeah, I have read a few discussions saying the same thing that many of their old friends that they have met before are no longer here anymore. It is so sad that they have left here without leaving a single word Since we are not sure whether our old friends would come back or not, so it is nice for us to find more new friends here, we then don’t feel alone to do our posts here. We would have more fun to chat by sharing our feeling and opinion with our friends made here frequently in certain topics we are interested. Hopefully you will meet more new friends and have more fun here. Wish you all the best and happy posting.

So right! I haven't the heart to weed out my friends list. I did it once several months ago, and it wasn't a good feeling at all. Yes, I do miss several old friends. New ones are great, too, and we keep on keeping on.

Yes I know there are so many old ones that i really got to like that just got tired of the way things were going in here and just left. I wish they'd come back but hardly doubt it. I will make new ones as time goes on.

Well definately in the almost 2 1/2 yrs. I have been a member here I have seen a lot of people come and go. Some of the ones who left were Very good friends as well. I know that some have left for many various reasons but I too miss seeing them around here as well. But you never know why people do what they do. We can only continue to Wish the best for them as well.

I went through my friends list yesterday and I found at least 8 that was no longer active. I did delete them from the list. I hate the fact that they leave and don't let you know that they are leaving. After they are gone then you have no way of knowing how to get in touch with them. That is why I am now trying to get the email addresses of the closest of my friends on my list. Happy MyLotting.

yes I do agree that they should at least let others know that they are leaving and don't think they will be back so we know to take them off the list. I did get like two email addy's just so I could keep in touch with them. It just dosn't seem to be the same with them gone but will get used to the new change of things again with new ones I guess. Thanks for the response have a take care.
