I have deleted a lot of mylot friends. These invited me to their friend and didn't bother responding in any one of my discussions. They way invited me to be their friend after I commented on their discussion. They might have thought that friends are for responding in their discussions. Friendship is a two way thing. These people seem to forget that. I have invited only one person to be my mylot friend and that person regularly to my discussions and I do the same. That is what friends are help each other. Just because you have more than 1000 post please don't send friendship invitations as a calling card to your discussions. If you can't respond to other people's discussions you shouldn't be asking others to respond to yours. Regards

I have never deleted a friend for them not responding to my discussions. But I have deleted a friend. Only 1- He was posting some pretty racey discussions-- this started after he asked to be my friend. I always check out profiles of people and see what they are saying and responding to.. He totally changed-- Not sure if it was to try to attract more responders or what. Now I'm not a prude-- but I have the "notify on" for all of my friends-- My daughter sometimes opens my e-mail for me looking for e-mails from her uncle (He's in Iraq) and she would see these-- Nope! He was gone. I thought about just taking the notify off... but as I checked him out again- I thought I would never answer these-- so I deleted him. My first place I go every day is "Discussions my friends started" thats the meaning of friends-- Helping each other out- And I pick friends on interests.. If they post interesting things to me or if they answer my discussions.. I try to answer there questions if they relate to me. Good luck finding good friends here!

If you respond to any ones discussion most often you get a friends request. Thats what I have learned. I give positive rating all the participants in my discussion. Till now I haven't given any one negative rating. Thank you for responding to my discussions

I agree with you. I have deleted a few friends recently not only because they didn't respond but because they weren't starting any discussions themselves or the discussions weren't anything I cared to respond to myself. I also check how long since they logged in and if it is a fair while (3 weeks+) I delete. them. Mean I know but there are a lot of people that don;t bother with the two way friendship thing...

I don't think I have that problem. Most often than not there are new discussions from my friend. So I haven't deleted any one for not posting a discussion.I too check their log in status before deciding to delete.Regards

I saw some people here with hundred friends,if they can answer to all them topics is fine with me,but my personal experience teach me something else.....the most of them asking friends just for they have any more post they can get to them topics.Now I don't ask for new friends(only at very special cases) and I delete some I haven't any reason to keep them ,answer to them topics and never didn't come to mine(not to all but even to 1 ).Me I don't only post at the new topics of my friends but when I have time I go to them old topics also.From the other way I have some people who gave each other responses the more of the time and they aren't in my friend list yet.My opinion is little but good friends and of course you are one of them.

Thanks for commenting . It's better to have a little friends whom we can count on than having a whole bunch who just pretends. I have only a few friends here and I am glad that you are one among them. Regards

I have deleted only one, and that member has a very large tally of points. However while I responded to their discussions whenever I had something to say, they have never responded to one of mine. You're right, just as in real life, friendship is a two way street. I have about thirty now, and I will only request friendship from someone who has posted reasonable discussions. Also, before accepting a new friend, I check out the material they have posted.

I do the same now. You have to learn from your mistakes don't you? I try to know the person who is my friend rather than trying to make many friends without knowing any of them. Thank you for being my friend. Regards

Welcome to mylot. I am not going to invite you as a friend just because you answered my discussion. Don't get me wrong I will respond to your discussions when you start one and then we will know each other much better. I like doing it this way because I don't like to invited as a friend just because I answered some ones post. I am sorry if I have offended you. If you still want me as your friend then just invite me as a friend. I am trying to apply the same rules I apply to myself. Have a great time in mylot. Regards
