I try and go through my friends list once a month to make sure that my friends lists are current, as I often seem to accumulate too many friends because of the different applications, games or groups/discussions I have joined and then leave after a while.
How often do you update your friends lists and delete unwanted friends ?

Hmmm...... i kinda chat daily in facebook.
And i accumulate good,dirty,naughty friends almost daily.
They are all kinda related to me in one way or the other.
So good or bad i just like to keep them with me.It also makes me popular with huge friends.
So i dont delete bt i add more friends

Thanks for your reply, though I couldn't just go on and keep adding, it would drive me mad. I like to try and keep some control on who I am friends with.

I thought you were talking about myLot. To update the friend's list here is impossible! Who do I delete? Who do I keep on? Well with Facebook, it is easier and I have not had to update the list yet since most of my friends here are from my church or know or is a relative or friend of my friends on the church, as well as those I only see on holidays when they come to visit. I do have a few like authors, musicians, because I love to write and I love to sing, and unless they do something that is illegal, they stay.
I did add a couple of friends to my list the last week because that is when they decided to join Facebook.

It is easier to update Facebook then here. Here it is impossible. If I want to delete those who are nasty here I have to go over a lot of pages, but with Facebook it is easier. But then since it is mostly friends, there is nobody there to delete.

To be honest suspenseful, I have never thought about updating the friends list here, but I will take your word on it being impossible. I try to start out that way, like you, with just adding friends and family, but with so many requests and some many apps to join and take part in, the list starts to grow, and then that is why I have to go through regular pruning of my lists.
Thanks for the reply.

Very often I update my friend list in my facebook accounts. When I need someone changed or delete from my accounts or when I created any friend groups in my Facebook profile then I like to make some changes in my friend list. Because then I make some good and funny changes about my friends.

Thanks for your reply, I try to keep up to date on my friends lists, otherwise it would just spiral out of control.
I also use the Friend groups to try and define and organise it clearer, but some still slip through the net.

I only need to really accept new friend requests if they are legit and really my friends since I won't accept random users. With regards to game applications and such I reject them all once a month but check the events page daily just in case something good is coming up.

Thanks TeamCholent for your reply, I did start off this way until I joined one of the games, which of course encourages the adding of friends, so as I add more apps the list gets longer, but then as i get bored and trim down the amount of games I do, i then start trimming back on my friends lists as well.

I don’t have a great deal of friends on Facebook because I am not very active there. It is a good idea to go through the list if you have a lot of friends because I would imagine it may get overwhelming after a while. I have befriended people I don’t know well and it makes me wonder if I should log in a bit more often!
