To delete or not delete ... That is the question?

I'm replying!! .. I'm replying !! I pretty much thought like that to start with .. and didn't add too many friends in case I couldn't keep up with all the discussions they posted .. but having learned that you get the same earnings for a discussion if one person or a hundred reply to it I don't really mind if people don't make too many replies to my own discussions ... just so long as someone does .. (and I do have a discussion no one wanted to reply to sob sob!! ). I think I am earning more by making replies than starting discussions too .. and starting discussions takes more time than replying ..

Hi new friend well I am responding to your posts and I think its good to give everyone a fair chance to post.I will go and check them out and send some responses your way.

Well, I think you should give your friends a chance. Maybe they don't feel like responding in your discussions because they can't relate to it. Two weeks I guess is enough if any of your friends didn't respond then you might as well delete them. Honestly, I didn't know that friends are supposed to answer all the discussions of their friends.

Why do u have to delete them if they have help you? It doesnt matter on when and how they would reply...at least you have friends online that can help you...Treasure small things rather than bigger things...

I think that sometimes people don't respond to discussions because they feel they have nothing to add to the topic. For example, I don't always reply to my friend's discussion if I feel I cannot give a quality response or if it is on a topic that I am not interested in. I wouldn't take it personally. However, I can see your point in wanting to delete some friends if they never repond to your posts, friendship is a two way thing and we've all got to help each other out on here and keep the discussions going. As for your question about the number of responses you are receiving to your posts, I don't frequently post discussions but the ones I do post have about 10 responses, maybe a few less, I do only have about 20 friends though.

maybe your friends are just busy or too lazy to check thier lot so you only recieve few replies. but still thier your friends so don't be mad at them they are only humans you know.... on offense...

First of all I request you not to delete any of the friends cos it will help you increase your earnings in all the ways. Moreover if you want to promote any referral link in the nearest future, it will be helpful sure.

A friend in deed is a friend indeed....... Keep them. Dont delete. They are usefull in many ways. Atleast the will see our posts and mark positive ranking.

umm!! i think thats fair!..i guess deleting syour friends should not be a problem! just go ahead and do it!:P

Yep that is very fair. I do the same thing. It use to be once a week, but now I am lazy and I do it every two weeks. That also gives them more time. I post one discussion, maybe every day if not every other day, yet out of my friends, I have 10 that respond. It's sad.

Of course it's fair. What's the point in having friends if they don't answer your discussions, or if you don't answer theirs? This is why it's important to have friends that share the same interests, or post discussions that appeal to you. There's nothing personal in deleting friends. It's just the way the site works.

i think you should go ahead with your idea and please let me know the results so i can proceed with the same...eheheh..btw i have same problem!

i guess that is life at myLot. i share the same sentiments with you. but i do not think you should delete them. maybe in the future they will come up with your posts and catch their attention. dont worry they will post their reply faster than you expected. ^_^

To delete or not, your friends list can not do any good in my opinion. AT least you can PM them if you like. Why not use that feature to let them know you have new discussion to be responded? Members of mylot will not be so selfish to give some time to your topic I guess.

I have been on MyLot for a few months now and today I found out how to use search to find a related subject. I say this because it shows that I am still learning.I may not answer all my friend's discussions,but part of the reason is that I never saw them. As I become for familiar with the ins and outs of MyLot,I hope to make fewer mistakes.

hey.... are doing the same thing.... means, replying to all your friend's discussions??? For every action there will be equal and opposite reaction.....!

I think that the list should not be called a Friends List. To me a friend is someone who you know really well and spend time with and know secrets about and share your life with and trust and love. Not someone who might or might not respond to your discussions and even if they do how do you kneo they are telling the truth. I have 54 people on my friends list and I couldn't tell you any one of their names. Call me crazy but knowing someones name is an important factor to me for calling someone a friend. A friend needs to earn that title in my book. I have only requested one friend on here, all the others asked me and I thought okay maybe I will get some views to my discussion. Well it doesn't work that way for me. I have about 3 or 4 who actaully respond to my discussions but that's it. I do try to read and respond to my friends discussions at least once a week. SOme days I pick one friend and go through their discussions. Ohter days I will go through the discussions my friends started list. Eihter way I do try to respond to thier discussions and I don't think it is wrong to want them to respond to mine. I post discussions and a lot of times I am lucky if I get 3 responses and only one is from a friend. I will wait and see how things go but I will have no problem deleting those who have don't respond every once in a while. I'm not asking for responses to every discussion, but once in a while it would be nice to show some support. So I don't think you are being unfair at all. I mean if these people were my real friends in my real life that would be different, but they aren't. they are virutal friends on the internet. Do what you feel is best for you and dont' worry about it.

I am responding to some of your discussion, not to every one. I don't expect my friend to reply to all of my discussion. But who never give response to my discussion may be I will delete them after some time.

Being new in mylot, i havent made a lot of friends here. my membership is one day old and I have made one friend. So I havent faced the kind of problem as you are facing. Another thing is that if someone is in our friend list, I dont think it should be necessary for him to reply to our posts. They should be and they are free to respond to any kind of discussions that seems to be their cup of tea. So, I think we should not expect too much from them.
