Do you de-friend mfp's who havent logged on in a while? Do you wait days, weeks or months?

I have several mfp's who have gone stealth but I cant bring myself to delete them, :tongue:

    I do not... I fall off the wagon from time to time so to speak, but when I come back it is with a vengeance! lol... I have several people who I befriended their first day and have never logged on again... It makes me sad, but I hold onto them just in case... :smile:

    I'm not as vigilant as others. One month then done. It's not personal, I just believe that if you're on here for support, then be on here. If you don't need to be on here, then you don't need me either.

    No, it's not like we're limited on how many friends we can have on here...their not logging in doesn't affect me one bit.

    I stopped deleting after a pregnant woman called me out on fb saying "don't friend him on MFP he'll delete you"..lol ...So i only delete those who disrespect me and others.

    There's a limit of 1,000 so I will keep whom ever until i get close..until then i don't let it phase me.

    I'm not that concerned about whether or not people log in. I have defriended a couple of people that sustain/support unhealthy habits like consistently not eating enough/starving.

    Other than that it just doesn't matter to me if they hang out on my friends list.

    Generally I delete after a month.

    Except for 3 friends from RL who NEVER come on here anymore (I think it's been 4-5 months now) but I hold onto, just in case :smile:

    I give them a month. If they fell off and come back they can send me a new request.

    I defined after a month of no activity. I do check their profiles first to make sure they haven't purposely left the planet for some extended time, though.

    3 weeks and you're out in my book. Gotta excuse people if they are on vacation or something for a week or two. I'm on each day, I would expect the same for most of my friends!

    I understand the ambivalence with some people. I just de-friended someone who I notice never gave any support and someone who just wasn't a good match personality-wise. I am not sure it was the right thing, but there are a lot of people out there and I hope they find someone that they click with.
