Friends list

Why do you do this, and how do you know who is not here anymore? I think Gather should alert us to this.

You must have more patience than me!! I wouldn't even know where to start!!

I do good just to keep up with a hand full of the comments and articles posted to my spaces here. I can't read fast enough to read all that. I get loads of articles and images and such posted on my groups spaces, and my personal space, daily. If I went to all of them and read and commented and such I would'nt have time for anything else and still wouldn't be able to keep up. Especially with my computer being so slow.

I have went and edited my friends list once.

I have never done this, and I wouldn't know how to tell if someone had left Gather or not without some sort of announcement. Tell us how you did this.
Thanks

?

I guess I haven't been on here long enough for me to think about it. I know that I have some that don't reply to my stuff so I wonder about them...but that is ok...I know who my good friends are...like you

I have never re-done any of my lists. If I added you your my friend, unless you took your connection away from me. I just get on and Gather!!

I never go through my friend list because I never disconnect from anyone...unless they blatantly attack me, but that hasn't happened directly yet.

may work

Seems like too much work for me. I just leave them all on my list.

I've only disconnected from a few people. One of them was just really obnoxious and always criticizing my friend's parenting skills (he isn't even a parent, so he has no idea what he is talking about). Another one only does generic comments, and emails every time he publishes anything. He's asked to connect again probably 7 or 8 times! I don't think he even realizes how many times he's done it!

I've disconnected from many people that no longer visit gather anymore.
You can tell by looking at your friends list & you can see when their last sign in date was.

Thanks for the reminder.. Need to go thru mine.

If I have extra time, I go through and disconnect from people that are gone (unless it is someone that I really hopes comes back) and from people who I never read, or comment on...and vice versa. I like to keep my friends number under a certain amount and when it goes over...I weed out.

never done this!

Yes, look at the person last sign in date. If they haven't signed in since last year. I doubt they will be back.

I have disconnected from one person. He was a crazy !! Otherwise, I don't worry too much about it. One can never have too many friends...

I haven't done this yet, but I think I will have to do it soon. Some friends have never even read something of mine nor published anything for me to read. I don't like to have non active connections.

I was surfing groups a while ago and found two groups with the same name, same date they were created and with only one member, the founder. They had had no activity at all. I wonder why Gather doesn't do something about those kinds of things. It is sure to be clogging things to have inactive groups or people.

I go through my connections and groups every few months or so. It helps to do the groups because it makes publishing soooo much easier to have them paired down.

Personal Comment: I do try to make personal responses on my friends articles & pictures and also on any content submitted to Post Art - Any Medium, but I don't ever seem to find the time. I honestly don't know where it goes. I even pinged someone to apologize for some generic comments I put on some of her content. I really like Gather and came here to connect with people, so I am hoping those people will cut me some slack. No offense meant to Sandy or anyone else.

Post Art - Any Medium

I am the stand in person while Amy is on vacation.

Soorryy! Where am I? Ok. Thank you for sharing this with us @ We Comment Back!.

I am still the stand in person while Amy is on vacation.

Sandy I think alot of my connections came just for things like the FC1 contest and never came back after it was over.

I dont disconnect because you never know when they might pop in gather someday.

i've never done this either....the only thing I've done is leave some groups here and there...ones that don't seem to be a fit for me.

I have never done that, and never will.

This comment is to let you know that this content has reached at least ten comments, and as such has been removed from Comment Speedway! Congratulations!

I'm in the (very slow) process of going through groups right now. Friends are probably next. It takes a loooong time. You have lots of patience!

I haven't gone through my friends list at all here on Gather. I haven't been very active for a very long time and have just now started posting again. On Mylot, I do exactly what you do, go through them and delete friends who haven't been active for a long time or who I am just not interested in anything they write.

When I have extra time, I enjoy going through my friends content. I will randomly choose a friend and go through all or most of of their content depending on how much they have. It gets hard to do when I find someone who hasn't been Gather since last novemeber. I see those and delete them.

I do not go through and delete people who do not respond or comment on my stuff. I do not delete those who give me generic comments...I get lots of those. But I look at it as a comment is a comment.

I don't expect a comment when I give a comment. I do expect friends to comment on something that they would like to voice their opinion or say or at least stop by and say hello once in a while. But frankly I do not keep track of who comments and who doesn't. A real friend wouldn't do that in my opinion.

I just delete in active people from my friends list. I really don't think seeing people in active from 7 months and deleting them as a problem. When they do come back and get active again....If i enjoyed their stuff......I am sure I will find them again.


But with almost 600 people on my friends..I would like to keep track of my friends alot better. I would like to get to know them better and make some good friends.

In my opinion it is time to weed the in active out.

it would take me years to go through my list. You don;t have to worry about me...I post nearly everyday ;-)

i had done this last month, also deleting those that had not signed in for this year.
