    Usually a month, less if there account was new and they just quit fast. Depends on their posts, effort in their information about them and how many friends they have to show how valuable there account is to them.

    Usually clean my friends list once a month. Friends who haven't logged in for 25 - 30 are usually removed. I'm not here to collect friends, much less have a list of people not logging in.

    Depends...a newish member, I don't cut 'em much slack and it'll just depend on my mood...I might cut 'em lose after a couple of days of nothing, but I'm not really vested either. If it's a long standing member and someone who's been on my FL for a long time, I will give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they're just on vacation or taking a break or maybe they just have a bunch of **** going on...I'll generally give them a month or so. After 30 days I figure whomever it is is gone.

    I think it depends how you got on before they went AWOL and whether you'd happily be there for them if/when they come back. If you've never really found a bond it's a great way to clear them out without conscience.

    I've been friends with most of my FL for years, so I wouldn't delete them for being inactive.
    I'd delete them for wearing Mom Jeans or Uggs during the summer.

    i believe this is already covered as a corollary of the "it's ok to delete a friend who wears crocs" rule.

    It says in my profile 5 days, but if I've been friends with them awhile and hear from them a lot, NEVER!:flowerforyou:

    I'd only delete for inactivity if I needed to make room on my list for new people. I've had people come back after many months away. I'm also pretty lazy and it sounds like a lot of work to keep up with how frequently my FL is logging in and then checking to see if they announced it in advance if they're not.

    I give it a month usually. Unless I have had a good amount of contact with them before, then I keep holding on in pathetic hope that they will return

    This reply goes for me too!!
