Sometimes I think my friends list is to big. Then I look at it and see that I pretty much have a reason for everyone on there. (No, really.) I have 39.

I do wish I would talk to some of them more, but then I doubt we have much in common after all.

A good conversation is what I really dig with people. Anything we have in common that can be spoken about and a list of comparisons and side notes drawn up upon. Yeah, that's what I like.

Kind of in the same boat. All the 38 people currently added are people that I either talk to a lot or have 'good' and 'meaningful' conversations with here and there (could even be both).
There's some who I haven't talked to in months, though they're still on there. Mainly to show that I haven't forgotten them and any things/conversations we did/had together. A bonus to that is that you can easily spot activity of them in the friend actions thing on the index page.

I'm not scared to send a request to someone. I know that what I view as a friend isn't the same as what others view as a friend. If they think it's too early to see me as a friend, then that's fine by me. A place on a friend list shouldn't affect the way you interact with someone. I'd still be on the same terms with them, whether or not I'm added or not.

My friends list has grown a ton too now that I'm more outgoing here! I usually add users to my friends list that I've talked to for a little while and are nice to me.

I used to be scared of doing that and I only wanted to add users that I've talked to for a long time and want to become close friends with. Now I just want to add users I like and should talk to!

I add users back even if they send me a friend request randomly, but if we don't really talk or they're inactive, I take them off my friends list.

I'm a lot like PacmanandMariofan in that I add anyone that adds me, regardless of how well I know them. In fact I've had people add me despite the fact that I have never seen them anywhere on here before, but I added them back, and we never talked before or after that.


I add anyone that adds me for three reasons:

1. I don't want to offend them or hurt their feelings

2. I know I personally get embarrassed when I add someone and they don't do the same, and I don't want to make anyone else feel that way

3. I may be a little too nice


I don't think anything about people adding too many or too few friends as I feel it's their right to add however they choose. I have 115 people that I've added and 120 that have added me. The difference between the two is mostly because I forget to add back sometimes, but I will remove "friends" under certain circumstances.

For example, I saw where a "friend" (actually a random add that I added back) made a racist comment so I removed them from my list because I refuse to be associated with that attitude or person. But aside from being overly rude, mean, harsh etc. to other people or saying hateful things about people based on race, nationality, religion, appearance, gender, etc. I rarely remove anyone that doesn't remove me.


So sadly my friend list means nothing really. :/ But if I add first it's for a reason. Also I do consider some of my "friends" real friends, and will gladly befriend any of them (or anyone at all) if they want.

Yeah I used to be the kind of person who pretty much added anyone who added me mostly to not offend anyone, but I stopped doing it eventually as in I started removing people I've barely talked to or talk to anymore even if they still have me added.

With that said I've still added the majority of people who have added me, It's not really hard to get on my friends list, I often add people after just having a first conversation with them, the only reason I really remove people is because I want my friends list to be comprised of people who I do still talk to sometimes and remember even if it maybe somewhat rarely and not just some random people who added me or a person I haven't talked to in months and barely remember even talking to anymore. Though I'll be happy to re add that person if I start talking with him/her again without really giving it a second thought.

 I don't really care if they add me back or not because like Furret , I don't think it should really affect how you interact with each other.

I will be honest (no offense to those who befriended me): I don't see the purpose of having a friends list on Vizzed. Sure, there are people I enjoy debating with, but I know no one physically, which to me is true friendship.

Well, with me, I'll only add you if we've talked for a while. Reason is, when people randomly add me, it's like I never talk to them. However, when people do talk to me a while, I tend to keep on talking to them. I only remove users when they are not my friend anymore, persay. Like... flamers.

I used to add whoever added me. Not anymore. I recently cleaned my friend list, and it looks better now. All the people on my friends list are now my actual friends! *cheers*

I should probably clean up my friends list, there are a lot of people I don't even talk to on that list anymore. Sort of counter productive in the end.

It's not something I think too much about, Kimmy, but I usually don't add people to my friend list just because they added me. Just because I only add people I think of as friends. That being said, it's not hard to be my friend, just talk to me a couple of times and I'll think of you as a friend pretty quickly.

I went through a problem with my friendslist way back during the summer, I remember at one point I had over 100 on my list, but then I went and unfriended every single person that I had there and recreated the list from scratch with a VERY strict guideline. Because of this, more than 120 people added me, but I less than 40 on my list, and some of them are about to go. I used to add anyone who was a friend, but now, maybe 1 in every 5 people who add me, I actually add back and I must have known them for a LONG time.

It's great to see how your friends list has grown very large.  However for myself, I have very little friends with only six.

I swear every time i read one of your threads it's like a newborn child discovering a small piece of the internet.. It brings back nostalgia for me at least. 

People as a whole do tend to focus too much on the small things. Such as popularity and how the friends they have make them seem like someone they may or may not be. 

I personally am usually the one to add people that i like. But i usually at least talk to that person a while first because first impressions whilst sometimes lasting. Don't really give you a full report on the person themselves. I also pretty much delete anyone i haven't spoken to in ages.. or people that no longer function on the site. 

It's just a habit i have.. I do the same thing on steam as well. 

Sometimes someone will add you that your not sure if you want to consider friends yet.. You're under no obligation to add them back after all x3

I have been here for around two or three years and I would not take anyone off my friends list, since they are pretty much the only ones worthy to be there. This also reminds me it has been ages since I have added anyone or asked anyone to be there. Oh well. Keep it short, keep it sweet.

I'm pretty sure I believe the same as you about the friend list, Kimmy, though I would like to add my two cents to the pile. I've been hesitant to add anyone to my list on here for some of the reasons you described. Afraid that since I don't really know anyone yet, people would think I was just looking for a friend-back, even though I just think they're cool people and would like to follow what they do. 

As a result, my friend list is almost totally barren, and the ones that are on it are the ones who friended me first. I blame the stigma of Facebook, I swear I do. *and no, I do not have a Facebook and never will, not again, I left that place a loooong time ago* I also think it might have something to do with fear of rejection? I don't really care if people add me back or not, but I don't want someone to just come up to me and say they don't want to be on my friend list, could I please remove them. I mean,  I would, but I would feel guilty about having added them in the first place, because then they had to go through the inconvenience of asking me to remove them. I don't want to do things like that.

To me it is just showing my appreciation of these people, but I'm always afraid that others won't see it that way. 

I have some people on my friends list, but to be honest I really don't use it at all. It doesn't really hold any significance to me, because I know who is and who isn't my friend .

Yeah, jack makes a point, the friends list doesn't really prove any use unless you have access to that Comet Chat Bar thing.

As for myself, I used to add anyone I had even an ounce of contact with, ending up in adding more friends than I was added myself. But I accepted that I can't really be friends with everyone so I deleted the majority and now I have 23 friends and 153 people who consider me friends. It's not that I dislike them, it's not that I want my profile to look "cool" with a much smaller ratio of friends added to me being added, but it's just that I guess it's a lot tougher for me to consider you a true friend than other people.

I delete inactive people not JUST because they're inactive, but because I don't talk to them due to that fact. I keep MegaRevolution1 on my friends list despite her quitting Vizzed because I still talk to her elsewhere.

I try to keep a smaller friends list so when you compare it to the people that have added ME as a friend, it seems like I have a lot of fans. Of course I don't, it's just me trying to look cool.

But my friends list is all that's left of my beautiful profile.

R.I.P. faded's profile.

sdutop : Yep! Just go to the Control Panel (it's on the top of the page with the Retro Game Room, Board, etc.), and select the Friends List under General. You should see a (remove) option next to the people on your list that you can click on . Hope this helps!
