How long on your FL?

How long do you keep an inactive friend on your list? For me, if there's 30 days of inactivity, I delete them. And it takes me quite some time to go through my FL.

    I'll prune after 3 months, normally.

    I haven't culled any yet but don't have many, either. As my list starts growing, I will likely go with the 30 days and delete.

    I usually delete someone if they have been inactive for 2-3 months.

    I keep hoping that a few people will come back. I think the longest inactive person I have is 10 months.

    I just recently started removing people.... for me it's 3 months. If are someone I know personally, that can be different.

    I don't have any set rules. It depends on the individual and my mood.

    I don't usually delete. I'm the one that gets deleted.

    The ones I know personally, I'll keep no matter what.. However, I do not have many inactive friends so I haven't run in to this problem yet and I hope I don't. I have a good bunch on my FL so far... The only ones that are inactive are those I know personally and they aren't very many.

    It depends. Some people I will keep on there indefinitely even if they are inactive. But there are others that I won't keep for more than a month of inactivity.

    Mine don't even have to be inactive. i like and comment of my friends posts, if they don't return the favor, they're gone!

    I just keep everyone who actually talks, if i dont hear anything from you in 2 weeks or so, i might just delete, but it doesn't mean you cant message me

    i have about 300. i have never culled my list. 1) their absence, inactivity, never affects my progress, i couldn't care less if they give me a thumbs up because i completed a diary entry or logged in for x amount of days 2) so many come back and are happy to see a happy/familiar face when they do return 3) i absolutely love seeing those members return because it reminds me that no matter how long or how far i go off course, i can always return.

    (i have been deleted though, lol/shrug)

    If I never interact with someone, a few days of inactivity and I delete. If I have interacted I keep them until it bothers me seeing them not logging in.

    Love this! I've been that returning member and was happy to see the friendly faces that didn't delete me.

    I actually delete after 7-10 days of inactivity unless specified other wise. But I just took my FL from 240 to 108 the other day. Deleted people who I don't talk to or who don't talk to me, or never support me. It's not a one way street.

    30 days unless they showed great progress before then I'll wait two.

    14 days on average. Someone I really like I keep regardless and someone whom never interacts with, maybe less.
