Deleting My Friends

i find it a bit weird sometimes how completely random people ask to be my friend. I could understand if someone has responded to one of my discussions and found it interesting or vice versa, i had responded to their discussion and they liked my reply, but today i have had 3 friend requests and 2 of them had never responded to one of my discussions and i had no idea who they were. Where did they find me from? why do they want to be my friend? Suppose we just have to keep searching till we find some decent friends who will respond to our discussions.

Eventually, I will probably be deleting a very few people from my friend list. Mostly if they have been inactive for a long time, like not doing anything on the site in a month or more. I really don't mind having friends on my list who don't reply to my topics, but I'm sure that I have lots who don't. I also can't always reply to everyone on my friend list because I don't always know what to say back to their topics :/ But I really love to reply to my friends as often as I can. I almost always reply more to my friend's posts lately than replying to random posts that I see around the site! I would say that I've been replying to about 75% friends posts and the rest random stuff lately.

I get so backed up because at first I approved anyone - thinking they meant to answer my discussions... and I requested to be friends with anyone who's discussion seemed really interesting. But lately I can't even get to the good stuff because I'm weeding through so much garbage. I've been going through and deleting anyone who hasn't logged on in 1 or 2 months or more. I have also been going through my friends list one page at a time and deleting people who either have discussions I'm not interested in at all - ever - and they have never responded to mine. I think people look at it like a popularity thing - like on myspace. The only friends I have on myspace are people I actually know and it's only 2 pages. Then there are others who have 1000s of friends. How could you possibly keep up with all of them?

I am very new to MyLot. I requested to be your friend because I saw some discussions that you gave some very good answers to...and one of mine I think! Anyway. I try to respond to my friends! Some topics I just dont know how to reply to or what to say. Other than that I have three babies...But I am trying! Good topic by the way. I just had someone request to be my friend I have never seen before. I like sunshinecups 2 week thing...I'll have to also try that! I just figured the more friends you had, the more topics you could easily reply to (right in my email) and if you post hopefully they will respond. Sorry for the babble...you wouldnt think a person could ramble on in here like they do in real life but I think I just proved that you could!

Hello.ittakesallsorts,I will always approve friend requests unless they are spammers who are doing copy and paste stuff. I do not really care whether they will reply to me or not,in fact,many members have not reply to me once,I think may be they just read my discussions or replies.I have not deleted anyone because I know the feeling of getting deleted is not good,i will be happy to keep them on my list even they do not reply to me. I think getting responses from the discussions may not help your earning much,reply is more important to earnings,so even someone have good responses,if you do not reply to any, earnings will still be low. I think we cannot earn money from our friends,we have to do it by replying to ourself. Good luck

I know exactly wha you mean. There are more than hal a dozen that I have been waiting to see if they would respond to anything, as I have responded to many of theirs and it isn't returned. They are going to get axed, as they have been on a probation period and are th sort that want 500 friends to respond to their discussion and that is it. I also have a couple of friends that never respond to my discussions but I won't delete them because I enjoy their discussions so much. They do respond to my answers to their discussions with comments, and sometmes even give me a best response, so that is fine because it is at least some communication.

Yes, it annoys me, why ask if you only want me to reply to yours type of thing. I reply like a good girl and never get a reply to my response or my discussions, I don't reply to all my friends discussions only if I know something or can comment. I deleted 3 requests a week or so ago becaue I couldn't find anywhere we had met before, then I felt bad, I do find that some people you never hear from again so why bother with them, at least the y get your discusson so they have the chance to answer.

Well, I know that tends to happen with me a lot of times as well. Sometimes theu might just be too busy, or never take time to consider how important it might be to keep a Friend by responding back to the discussions that they might have started. I know that when someone responds to one of my discussions, I then in turn go and check out one of theirs, and see if they have discussions I am interested in responding too. Sometimes I find these people to be on my Friends list, and sometimes not. I have a lot of Friends now as it is, and so I know if everyone answered all of my discussions, I would have way over 100 responses to every discussion I have started, and if you look at mine, you will see that this is definately far from the truth here.

I clean mine out once in awhile. If they are in active for awhile and their numbers by their names stay the same. I give them awhile before I delete them because I do understand things happen and people don't get on or can't get on for a while. Then I see if I got involved with any of their discusssions and or they mine.

I know what you are talking about. Every day I receive friend request. I see their profile and they are not respond to any of my discussion. I am thinking to start deleting non-active friends from my friendlist.

Oh yes! I delete friends every two weeks now. That gives them two weeks to respond to at least one of my posts. If they do not and are active, they are gone. I think many believe that the more friends they have the more they will make or something. To me if you know you are not going to post to their discussions, why bother asking for their friendship? It's a waste of everyone's time if you ask me.

i would be happy to reply to you. I am sorry that you have not had response from everyone. I am going to check out your discussions.

Yes I have experienced the same thing. I have a few what I would call "good" genuine friends on here, who have contacted me because we have similar interests and we have seen each other posting in the same kind of discussions. They always respond to my discussions and I do the same for them. But there are others who have contacted me out of the blue, never respond to any of my discussions, and I truly don't understand why they wanted to be my friend in the first place!

I am still new and haven't deleted any friends yet. But, yes, I do know what you are talking about. And it is frustrating.

Yes. Many do not respond. I always look at my email to see who is posting from my friends list. I at least look at the topics and try to answer if I can. It is strange, but I see several people on here with thousands of posts and I never run into any of them. I wonder who they are always answering?

Yes I find that as well, I have about 90 friends so wouldnt it be lovely to have at least 90 replies... but thats in a perfect world which this is not so I recieve an average of about 10 replies! So Oh yes! I will be deleteing so called friends who I see have been logging in and so are active on mylot, every two weeks from now on. That gives them two weeks to respond to at least one of my posts. If they do not, then they will be gone.... I think thats fair do you?

I have the same problem, but it's not bother me at all. I saw some discussions about it, and people got really upset because of it. You shouldn't be worry about it. So what if they are your friends? It's not costing you money. Don't delete them. They might talk to you in the future and you will get to know them. I can't understand why this subject bother members here, It's just friends.

I understand what you mean. I believe I've responded to some of your discussions but not all of them; if I don't think I have anything relevant or interesting to say on the matter, even if it's with my friends I don't think it'll help either of us. But I do feel the same way as far as only a few of my friends having responded to any of my discussions; albeit I haven't started many to date as of yet.

i reply to all my frineds but ofcourse not everyone reciprocates..i think it is wise to drop say after a month those that show..no sign of reciprocating..ofcourse i dont exoect people to be as active as myself..but say the odd reply once a week to one or two posts would not go amiss..life is about give and take..but some are just interested too much in their own angrandisement..

Well hardly any of mine do. However i'm not bothered, i'd like to see them as friends who'll talk either by discussion or personal message but u;m not stating loyalty on 'em just because my posts don't get there replies. This isn't meant to sound like i'm attacking you personally, just sharing my views. it would be nice to have friends who did this don't get me wrong but i'll accept it if they don't =) ~Joey
