Hi everyone. I had nearly 500 friends here in mylot but almost two/three months ago, i have deleted more than 200 as they had no activities from years and had few posts and no symptoms to come back here.
Its said that "a friend in need is a friend indeed"... have you ever tried here to find out the real friends. I mean supportive, suggestive, informative and expressive.... when you are in a hard situation they are with you although they are virtual. Have you ever tried to find out them or you already happy with your friend's list?
Honestly, i am not happy with my friend's list and i am about to delete more than 100 active friends(?) from my list. I think, they are just making my numbers huge. They are not the friends of mine because i have found out my friends through three discussions.
Have a nice time to all of you. Good luck.

Hi shibham
My list is very large also and grows by the day. Luckily not all participate at the same time because I do have the notifiers on. Sometimes I think about tweaking it but have not taken the time to do so. Partly as mysdianait said it does not bother me that they are there. There have been a few very nice ones all of sudden reappear and that makes me happy to see them back again.
Sometimes people have offline issues and it will cause them not to be able to be here so I really do not want to delete them and have them sadly disappointed later. I will only remove if they spam but outside of that have not had a reason really to remove anyone.
It is a choice and what works for all is fine, I believe. You have been here a lot longer then me and I am sure yours is probably much more obsolete. Maybe with time I too will do like you as well. Not all my Listed friends participate in my discussions which is fine, as I feel it is their loss since they type they earn right. lol

Oh but I want to add that my True friends will move high earth and find me via other means if I am gone so I do know who my true friends are here.

hi shiby,
That is the reason why I don't easily accept friend's request because I don't want to be a friends collector.
I found true friend in this virtual word I think you already know it
If ever you going to delete care to inform me
happy mylotting

I really dont put much thought in who is who here. Only because I feel like an outsider most of the time when I am here, I have not felt anyone really reach out to me here. There have been many times that I have given advice to others here. The best heart felt advice I could get. I send that wether they are on my list or not. I dont expect anything back in return just a hope that it has helped in some way.

Thank you, I hope your day is great as well! No offence taken. I have a very busy family and a husband. I run my business and so much of my efforts are geared towards supporting my family and providing for them. My interaction is limited from that.

Hi friend.
I think you are not so much attached with some certain friends here as i am. If you would, then your perception will be different. I just think, no offense meant.
Its nice to help them who are not in your list as i also do that if i have the capability to help them. Thats the true spirit of a social site. have a great day ahead.

I have a huge number of names on my friend list. Obviously not all of them are what I really consider as friends and are/were not there when I was going through a rough experience recently. I do not delete them though because some of them are there since I first joined almost five years ago and, although they are not active right now, they might reappear. I would not like to be removed from their list therefore they can stay put on mine
However among those names are some who I consider as real friends and they were closer to me than offline friends were during that time. I was/am away from home and my offline friends were/are far away but those here on myLot who are real friends, even though we have never met, gave me a huge amount of support
Maybe the list should have a different name? I agree that 'friends' is incorrect but I am not going to remove those who do not come under that definition because there is not another list where I can place them. They do not disturb there so they can stay

I too had a discussion explaining a difficult time that I had but there were not responses from everyone on my list. It doesn't matter to me because the ones who count were there
As I said, we don't have another place to add them other than the friend list and as it makes it easier to contact them if they are there, I prefer to keep them on mine. Obviously my choice is personal and will not be the same as yours.

Hi diana..
I appreciate your way of thinking. Well, suppose you were in hard situation for three times and you informed here and on all three times, some members from your list were visiting other's discussion and had not come to your discussions, still you will not refresh your list?
There are some nice friends like you who often support me, then why i should keep you with some unnecessary folks. tell me?
Anyway, have a nice day.

If I were not as lazy as I am, I´d do the same thing you did. There are many people who never has any kind of exchange with me in a long time if ever. I should delete them to be able to reach my real friends easilt. Maybe I will one f these days.

I remember the friends who answer me and the ones who never do are not my friends. Of course we cannot answer all discussions, but the ones who never do often only come to promote other sites.

As a continuation to the earlier discussion, also we should accept one thing that the intention of the company (myLot) is nothing but, make money and profit. So it is a combination of both and we should realise these facts. Many are always used to come with anger and high feelings and in such situations, we are much more 'close' to the regular friends and have a really impressed attachment. From our side, whatever we do, the site and the population will remain for ever as long as they are active.
So keep the list of friends as it is and ask for more friends and add more friends. After all we all are living here in the name of FRIENDS and we can add one every day and can TRY to be good friends globally and we should make our GLOB with a link friends just like the web.
Thank-s

Hi Shiby!!!!
Mine I just got 200+ friends and I am fine with all of them. SOme already not here while others divided to two-active and inactive members. Since I am a bit slower in replying my friends discussions I always come late to their topic- I got more than 7000 discussions need to check. I am happy with my friends list and will never alter or delete them except those who are here not for discussing but promoting sites. Most of the time it's me who send the friend request to them as I am not an active discussion starter so less people request to be my friends~(^^) I checked your profile brother, and you really serious about it. You already deleted half of them right?

Hi sister..

I have deleted them who are inactive from years and had few posts and they were irregular when they roamed here.

Oh yeah, some of them are busy and have personal issue they need to take care of. For old mylot members like you, they really need to update the friend list as they might be some of them who are not here anymore. But 100 friends in your list. Is that enough??

Well, then. Say a friend of you are starting discussion daily basis more than one. He visits other's discussion except you frequently. When you respond to him, he just skips some responses including you and comment back the likes of him. Then?
Have a nice time.

You are really that concern when it comes to your friends and I admire you for being so observant in their dealings with you. It is indeed a good sign that you are a very supportive friend because you are giving time to study how your friends are interacting because I myself I do not mind at all if they are still existing or not and with the large number of friends you got , it is so amazing that you do remember each one of them being active or not,with that it takes a lot of time.

But when stay here, i almost get connected with friends because i joined here for international friendship. All i do to find out good friends. have a nice time.

Hello Shibham.
Well I don't have a lot friends here I only have 29 I think.
I don't pay a lot of attention of that, I think I added them to receive their discussions first and have the opportunity to respond them first.
But I wouldn't say that are friends, for me they are contacts but friends.
But since I see that they are not interested in my discussions and I thought that the purpose of adding them was that they respond to my discussions, I think there is no point to have them either.
Good luck with your eraising list.

Everybody has a right to maintain their friends lists however they want. Some people only keep it to close friends that they actually share personal information with and so on. Others accept everybody. Some remove people who have been inactive for long periods. Do whatever works best for you.

i found a lot of good friends here. you can tell it by how they are supportive of my discussions. and not only that, they are even more supportive of me and my son during the times we were experiencing the hard times with his sleep apnea. and i even personally met them. i do not delete members from my list until they become an annoyance.

I have more than 500 friends, but I don't plan on deleting any of them. I have some friends that I often talk to in the discussions or outside MyLot. I have some friends that I don't talk to that often, but we still visit eachother's discussion every once in a while. The last group of friends are people that I hardly ever talk to or people who have been inactive for a long time. I don't want to delete them from my list, because every once in a while one of them comes back after a long break, and it always makes me happy to see a discussion from a friend that has been gone for a long time.

Yes. everyone has his/her own choice in maintaining the friend's list. I just dont keep their profiles who never come to my discussion or skip my response if i respond to them. I dont want to be an isolated respondent on a discussion. Its a nice feelings to see an old friend again after a long period and yes, i have some friends like this who are still there in my list. Have a nice time.

Hmm, i think i have to follow what you are doing. I have lots of friends already here at Mylot and some are already inactive or not participating at all. They just crowd my friends' list that it's hard for me to look for some already.
