You're SO off my buddy list!

[Araciel]

So how often do you prune your buddy list on your favourite/not-so-favourite IM client?! I usually cut people off at random intervals when I notice I haven't talked to them or seen them online for a while... I dunno why, but I don't like having a bunch of people I don't talk to on my list :S /OCD

[Psychotic]

Never. You'll always be on mine, dear James, even though we have not talked since the fall of Communism.

[qwertysaur]

I never prune my buddy list. If just make a separate list for people I talk to a lot, and people I occasionally speak to. I always feel that the day after I delete someone I'll talk to them the next day. :p

[scrumpleberry]

I never prune. I organise them into so many categories that it doesn't annoy me.

[Shlup]

I have a list for people I always talk to, people I don't really talk to anymore, and EoFF people. It hasn't changed in years.

[Araciel]

Never. You'll always be on mine, dear James, even though we have not talked since the fall of Communism.

Awww :love:

OMG VALENTINE'S DAY IS COMING *destroys self*

[Zeldy]

I don't delete people, I don't put my email address everywhere so I don't get as many people adding me that I don't want. I have different albums, <3, college/other and eoff, there's alot of people not in any that I should just delete.

[Tavrobel]

No. The only people I bother to talk to log in frequently.

But when there's a limit on the /f l, people get pruned rather frequently.

[Yar]

I have 34 people on my buddy list. That's not enough people to warrant "pruning".

[demondude]

I always just leave everybody on. My friends list is really messy. I've never been a person who has cared for organisation and the like.

[rubah]

occasionally I remove people but only when I know they've deserted their IM accounts (like moving to another name)

IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY TIME JIM DELETES ME.

[Momiji]

I usually prune friends from my contact list every 4 months or so, usually due to inactivity. And like clockwork, a month after being pruned, someone will show up and start talking to me again, and I begin to wonder who they are. xD

[Araciel]

IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY TIME JIM DELETES ME.

Lawl it's never gonna happen again :P

[Freya]

I don't tend to prune, I'm collecting EoFFers like they are pokemon! I CHOOSE YOU QWERTYSAUR!

[Old Manus]

I've got so many now that I can't be arsed to delete them.

[Shiny]

Never, James who loves sweater and nothing else.

[Lawr]

Yesterday I made my 90th EoFF friend. :erm:

[Heath]

Never. I sort them into groups of people I chat to the most and where I know them from, but I never delete people.

[Araciel]

Never, James who loves sweater and nothing else.

creepy

[Peegee]

The cut off date, if I even bother, is something like 1.5-2 years. I frankly don't care, though my 'misc' list is sort of getting out of control.

I should have a 'inactive' group and just toss people in there.

PS: no wonder you keep deleted me James.

[Bunny]

My buddy list contains 24 people, 21 of which I haven't spoken to in the last two or three months.

I don't trim my list because then it gets too empty and I am sad because nobody talks to me.

[Jessweeee♪]

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A POKEOFF BATTLE! Go LEEN-LEEF

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A POKEOFF BATTLE! Go LEEN-LEEF

Oh snap!

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I usually don't but lately I deleted people who I don't talk to anymore who I met way back at various events in high school. :/ I just use MSN's Favourite list to put the people I like talking to/good friends with in. The rest is set to Online/Offline.

I choose YOU PikaHsu!

[Evastio]

I don't remove people from my buddy lists very often because they'll probably hold it against me.

[Raistlin]

I never prune my buddy list. Combined with the fact that I've had the same AIM SN since 5th or 6th grade, and I have around 250 people on my buddy list. I have not talked to most of them in years. You never know when being able to contact someone or know their SN may come in useful.

[Fonzie]

This is my first AIM name back when I started when I was in 5th grade or so. I live having everyone at tabs.

[Jiro]

[escobert]

cba

[The Man]

I've got so many now that I can't be arsed to delete them.
cbayeah that

[Misfit]

No! Who does that? You better not take me off James! >:(

[Kes]

Rarely do I clean mine out. Dead names (people whom I haven't seen online for over a year) go in a group labelled "Dead Names". Everything else gets divided by location (internet, school, etc.) and each of those are split into people I talk to and people I don't.

I just moved a bunch of people to dead names thanks to this thread as inspiration.

[Setzer Gabianni]

I dont do it now, but I used to before. Im just...too lazy is all I can say :3

[blackmage_nuke]

No!! A buddy isnt just for christmas, a buddy is for life!
