Hello hardowrkinggurl,

Happy to interact with you for the first time, though I have seen your many replies for other members. Your avatar is giving a different identity, true.

I think there are many things correlate in between us. I too don’t request for friends and major part of the friends requested me. In the beginning I added some friends. Now I am adding those friends I have interacted and become friends before getting into list. I too refuse to respond just for the sake of responding. I can understand if anybody deletes the inactive friends, I respect those people who want to keep the list with active friends only. In my case, I never went into hibernation. Then also I got cuts….

Hi sweetie. I feel the least someone can do is tell a person the reason for deleting one from that list. I will only delete if the person is not active for more than 6 months. We all are busy and cannot be here 24 hours a day nor can we respond to each and every discussion, friends or not. Interests are not the same. Wonder if people will understand that though. TATA.

Hi Saphy,

I am not a person who deletes any friend here and I have friends with even zero credits. I understand there is no point to keep such kinds of friend in our list then also I am keeping them by thinking that once they wish to become active here... I really don't like to hurt anybody.

I don't think it as a big issue but surprises me what will be the reason?

It's been quite some time since I have been active on mylot (as you very well know). So, I wouldn't even know if anyone has deleted me. I know that I have not deleted anyone. I come here only when time permits. I'm thinking of re-bonding with my friends here again...hopefully I should be here more often now. Personally I wouldn't bother too much if anyone deleted me from their list if I'm not responding. I don't see the point in me keeping me in their friend list just coz I was active long back and requested them. So, I'm fine with that.

Hi Sree! Please do not be apologitic (to me) come what may, I will never delete you from my list of friends.

. Whatever you have written is very true that we cannot attend to all our friends' posts due to so many reasons. If anyone does not want to keep us in his/her list, we cannot help it. Mylot is like a sea, if someone has deleted us, many other requests will come our way and we can add friends of our choice. I am also not aware, how many would have deleted me from their list, for not responding to their posts.

. On my part, I delete those from time to time, who never respond to my posts and are/were in my list. I wish to keep the list crisp, short and trimmed. I have observed over a period of time, long list of friends does not fetch you large number of responses and some members participate here just for earning and for nothing else. Have a great evening.

Hello Deepak, I agree with you, large numbers of friends in list do not serve any purpose. But I don’t want to hurt anybody so I am adding every request and do keep all of them in my list. Once I checked my friend’s list, gone through each and every profile and deleted those who get a ban. It is a tedious task to check all of the friend’s profile.

Thank you very much for your assurance.

Hi dear, Here time is important and I am sure that all will not get enough to spend with myLot, as this is secondary and it is a bit of low preferred profiled job. People who are having no other work also cannot sit with myLto for a day log with this site as it require more efforts with it. Most of the people here are like you only and it is not mandatory to provide responses to all discussions. As long as you so much of friends and you may not be able to respond to all of their discussions also. Also, it is sure that all cannot attend all topics in any way. If you submit so much of discussion topics and not responding to their comments may lead finally to a deletion. It was the same discussion topic that I come with last day. Your case is different and if any one deleted from the list, the reason may be something else. Again, I have NEVER deleted any of the friends from my list. I am sure that all are not the same way and many are requested friends and some are demanded friends. But I never go for it because, all are friends and I have never had any issue with anyone so far. However, I should consider whether I should go for the same, those who are come with 30-40 discussion topics and never respond to our discussions. They are interested only for new discussions and never feel or understand the value of real discussions values. Best regards, Thank-s

Hello thanks, 'Time' is creating the havoc and we have to do more works in limited time.

I am starting very less topics and occasionally only. If I am getting large number of notifications from a particular friend and his/her topic is not appealing me then I may ‘turn off’ the notification rather than deleting the friend from list. Then again it make problems when checking friend's topics, one or two page may filled with the particular's friend's topics. Finally those want my friendship here will stay with me for ever.

Hi dear, Here I don’t think that we should be so sensitive any way. Only because of our comments are not in time, nobody is going to delete from the list. Also, from my observation, you are upto the mark and so appealing. In my view, you are doing a nice job and no need of any deletion. Also, ever if we comes up with our comments and view, it is our opinion on the subject and not with the person. So, I think people will realize and move accordingly. Even some time I won’t get time enough to talk to all with various reasons. We all here are having something or other works, so that cannot concentrate the entire day with myLot. As it is having its attraction and our desire to talk to our friends, among all other busy times also, we find some time here in myLot, and I appreciate all are in such a way, except few. In such a scenario, I don’t think anybody will dare to purposively delete from the list of friends. So be honored and I am sure that we all will be good friends and you chain of friends will be so lengthy here within few days.

Thank-s

I hardly ever invite people. Most of my friends are people who have invited me (for whatever reason). I spend most of my time here responding to discussions and very rarely post any of my own so I don't notice whether my friends are 'following me' or not (and it doesn't really matter to me). Now and then I go through my Friends list, looking at each profile. If they have 'no activity in the last 60 days', I will usually delete them; if they have not contributed to the same interests I have contributed to, they are candidates for deletion, as are people who start discussions and never comment on the responses they get. Anyone who spams me gets deleted instantly (and often reported).

Hello owlwings, I am respecting your criteria for deleting a friend. I am an active person and interacted with those who deleted me. I am sure I have interacted with those members here, so I remember them well, they were in my list and they invited me to their list. Now I have seen their topics today’s topics I wondered how they didn’t come to my mailbox and checking upon the same I realize that I am no longer in their list. Earlier I received their notifications in my inbox and still it is there. Last week also I realized to get a cut from somebody’s list, and today is another one and I am not sure how many deleted me so far.

Hi Sreekala, not everyone of us has the privilege of having lots of free time in our hands. It is understandable if I don't see you responding to my discussions. As of late I have been quite busy attending to my new houses which left me little time mylotting. Even though I come here everyday but I cannot comment to each and every discussions my friends started due to my tight schedules. I have been in the past been strike out of my friends' lists probably due to my long absence in their discussions or other reasons only best known to them.

Hi kala, I will tell you one thing. There are some users here who keep track of the people who are usually active and when they see them off line for months together, without bothering to what possibly could have happened to you would delete you as if you were nothing at all. Once I had given a post on this issue and there people spoke that they never deleted their friends unless they found that the person is missing more than six months and some would not even wait for months. Now keeping me as your friend and throwing you out is your choice. If you feel you should do do it or else do not hurt people. This is what I have to say.

Hello Rajib, If I am not active here then I can understand the reason for their deletion. Now I am signing in on everyday basis but I agree I can’t respond on everyday day basis. I have great respect for those who want to keep the active friends only. It is a time consuming task to visit the profile of the friends and find out who is active and who is not. I am sure that nobody can delete me on ‘inactiveness’. I don’t want to hurt anybody here and no complaint for those who delete me. Here I am trying to convey the possible reason for ‘not responding to all topics to my current friends.

It happens dear,but of course it hurts to know that friends deleted us from their lists especially those ones that we are close with. I don't delete friends from my lists,active or not i just leave them in my lists. I have more than 200 friends in my lists but i barely got more than 20 responses,and not all of those responses came from those people in my friends lists,but it's fine. I only have around 50 people in my lists that i can call real friends,even if some are not that active,but whenever they came online,they never fail to say HI or HELLO. Don't be sad dear...friends really come and go. Those ones that stays are real friends....would it be virtual or in real life.

Hi Sreekala!

I consider myself a newbie since I just joined a month ago and I already gained many friends. Some are requested by me and the others are newbies who requested a friend request and I accept it at once. Well,who am I not to accept them,right? I just don't understand why some don't accept friend requests. Yes,I noticed that I still have some pending requests and I just happen to know it lately. I made so many friend request when I was just a week old here and I guess some of mylotters wont accept newbies as one of their friends,sigh!

I never really delete anyone from my friends list even if he/she is already inactive. I don't know,I just feel it's kinda unfriendly if I do it. I never knew if someone deleted me as their friend,I hope they wont do it as I am being friendly here. See you around!

Regarding not accepting the FR, I don’t have any idea, I accept very quickly if I get a FR.

I also have a lot of friends. some one told me over 900 so thats more than I can handle and I am on a lot but sometimes because of some health issues I too have been off.please do not apologize for having a life out side mylot.I just know how hard it to answer so many when I have so many too. not all are active and when I delete a few they are ones who must have got bored or something and left after only a few days here.

Hi Hatley,

You have large number of friends in your list so you know it well how hard to respond all of their topics. Lack of time is the main reason and of course some topics are not coming under our interest too. If we want to delete the inactive friends, it also takes much time to check their profile and find out who are active and who are not. I have some idea about you and your son, your works etc. It is great that you worked till 79. I know about your health issues too. How is your leg now? Do I need to tell that you are a regular respond of mine, sometimes your response is coming late but you never missed mine. Take good care of you always.

Hi. Sreekala. That is so sad!

I would never delete you or any of my friends because of something like this. It is not your fault because you are unable to be active here at myLot due to your kids and your job. That is quite understandable. I only delete a friend, if they are trying to become a bad problem, or if they are trying to start crap with me on myLot, that is the only time that I will delete them from my friends list. I am very sorry that you were deleted just because you was not here as often. Sometimes, I am not either. If someone has deleted me on myLot, I would not have noticed because I have so many friends that are on my list and it is so hard for me to keep up with them. If they did, oh, well. I will get another friend that will replace them in a heartbeat! Don't let this bother you, because I am sure that this has happened to many other people too, that have not been active as they wished to. I have a friend right now, that has not been active in over eight months, and I have not deleted her from my friend list at all. I won't do so, because I may never really know what is going on with her in her life that is outside of myLot. She could be going through something that is majorly serious. I would not delete her for circumstances that she does not give me a reason to. And others should not do you the same way either!

Hello cream, If anybody deletes us we can’t do anything. I am an observant person in mylot and once somebody added me I can remember that user for ever. Once I happened to see the topics in home page from these people and wondered why I have not received the notification and I checked the profile then only I understand those people delete me from their list. I am sure those who interacted with me well can understand my character and never delete me. One person replied to me this topic and explains the reasons for deleting friends. It is ok, each and every one have their own strategies to clean their friends list.

No worries dear, I am happy with those caring people in my list. I too, never delete any person from my list.

Thank you so much for your support. Have a nice time.

That is such a shame…Why would someone delete you just because you have not been as active as usual? I am in a similar situation to yours because I have been extremely busy just before Christmas and after that we went away on holiday where I didn’t have any internet connection so I am very, very behind now and attempting to respond to as many notifications as I can each day and it still isn’t many because it’s still school holidays and I have to care for my daughter until she goes back to school. I hope my friends will not delete me because of this; I would like to think that a good friend would not do that and at least send me a private message first! Don’t worry too much Sreekala; your good friends are still here…I am!

Of course they become friend on some common interest is it not. Then they are silent means I do not understand why and how they become friends with me. But I am not a person who post lots of discussion for the sake of increasing earning. Hehehehe...
