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
Never. You'll always be on mine, dear James, even though we have not talked since the fall of Communism.
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
I never prune. I organise them into so many categories that it doesn't annoy me.
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.
Awww :love:Quote:

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.
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.
I have 34 people on my buddy list. That's not enough people to warrant "pruning".
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.
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.
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
Lawl it's never gonna happen again :PQuote:

I've got so many now that I can't be arsed to delete them.
Never, James who loves sweater and nothing else.
Yesterday I made my 90th EoFF friend. :erm:
Never. I sort them into groups of people I chat to the most and where I know them from, but I never delete people.

I should have a 'inactive' group and just toss people in there.
PS: no wonder you keep deleted me James.
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.

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

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.
I dont do it now, but I used to before. Im just...too lazy is all I can say :3
No!! A buddy isnt just for christmas, a buddy is for life!
