While waiting to go to church later, this is what I'm doing. I want to start afresh with the people I'm following here so I'm unfollowing inactive members. Of course I can always follow them again when I see they are active but most aren't so I want to clear them all up.
Yesterday my Following list was around 600+, now it's down to half and I'm gonna continue paring it down until I only have the active ones left. From there I will start adding more active people to follow.
What fun!

It's good to manage the following list, but I don't think I am going to spend time doing that now. I don't have much time to spend in mylot, so I'd prefer to just read and write as much as I can here. Moreover, there are some old connections that I'd like to stay connected with, hopefully they will return to mylot soon.

@owstalaga It's really good to have plenty of time to do what you want. Enjoy managing your list.

I have a lot of time so I can do it when the urge strikes.

True, who knows when they'll come back. I just had a lot of free time so I did it and found "new" active members to follow too!

I am not doing that. Its not right for me. May be they have their reasons for not being active and we should understand that

true they have reasons for not being around like I wasn't around before... so since they are not around I'll just do it when I can. Of course I check their profiles first, if they have not posted like in a year or two then I unfollow.

I,for one,respect those who my active followers and don't bother who of my followers are inactive.If I am active here,then I don't bother who is active and who is not.It's their headache.

hehe, maybe it's just a bit of OC kicking in so I will continue doing it until I'm done.

@owstalaga It would be good to keep an active few than a list of many who have gone missing.

I follow more than 600 people, but I added many of them several years ago and some of them aren't active anymore. Many old members came back when mylot started paying again. I hope that some of my old friends will return as well, and I didn't delete them. I have started adding a lot of active members.

It's good. Cleaning up your list could help you a lot. Anyway, you can add them anytime once they're back.

I even forget to check my connection. I think some of my connections here are inactive because they don't really know Mylot has come back. Let's wait them for few months

Well for starters, I'm only removing those with less than 1k comments.

Haha, yeah it took me a day or two because I rested in between, doing other stuff that mattered more. Now it's down to over 50.

My motto is: If people are not active, they shouldn't even bother to be a part of the online writing and sharing community.

Well some of them left because myLot stopped paying. Hopefully they come back soon and be happily surprised like I was.
