    I don't think I'd delete someone for not logging in. And I find it annoying when people post "COMMENT ON MY PAGE OR RISK DELETION" type posts. This is not jr. high. People have lives to live. If you don't log in for days then I assume you're getting your motivation elsewhere or that you've fallen off the wagon. We've all been there. It's not killing me to have a few "has not logged in for x-days" on my friends list.

    I will prod someone to check in if it's been +2 weeks, but only if I know them well enough. Otherwise I delete when I see they haven't been on for over a month.

    I agree! I don't like the threats either.

    two-three weeks, usually. Or if I notice you're not actually logging food or exercise... you're just there. Unless they've said something about not being on for a while.

    If it's been a few months, I'll go back and look at their profile to remind myself what kind of interaction they had when they were active. If they offered very little support, rarely ever commented about anything, or hardly even logged, etc. I will go ahead and drop them because they weren't really involved anyway. I always send PM's and wait a week or so. Then I send another PM inviting them to send me a Friend Request if they ever return to MFP.

    You're ruthless! Just kidding.
    I'm more lenient; I'll give them a month or so. Someone who I've deleted due to her extended absence on MFP has actually returned to the site and added me as a friend again.

    So far I've not deleted anyone. I've only been at this for 85 days or so though. I'll probably clean up the friend list once a year or so. I know that for the past two weeks or so, all I've been able to do was log in, and haven't had the chance to support my "Friends" like I'd like to, and thankfully, no one deleted me. I'm also not one to "Collect" a bunch of friends here.

    I had a similar situation while I was gone on vacation. Different circumstances pop up in people's lives. Sometimes you are able to be supportive to others, but sometimes you are the one needing support. I never randomly delete someone. When I've noticed that they haven't logged on in awhile, I send them a private message asking if they are alright and leaving a word of encouragement. Once I've heard back from them I can make a decision based on the response I get. This isn't just about what I get from everyone, it's about what I am able to give too.

    Right on marathonmom, It's about supporting eachother. Give and get. We should be friends. LOL
