Here is a Topic I have not seen discussed:

[pumpkinfish]

Well just recently I have maxed out my friends list! (woohoo, wow I know...never thought that would really happen). I of course plan on making new friends in the future so this means someone will have to be taken off.

How should I go about deciding who to remove and who shall stay? I mean, there are a lot of people, at the maxed out level, who I have not spoken to since the day I made friends with them. Most of my friends have spoken to me at least a few times since becoming "friends". But it is so hard to go through the list an determine who goes! I have been removed from a few friends lists and it isn't a pretty feeling So I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings with this.

Any suggestions? Any views/opinions?

TIA!

I look for the people with the longest time since they have logged in to VMK. Since the date of their last visit is in their info box, this makes it pretty simple. Lots of times, this clears out enough space for a good while and then I check the list again.

I've also deleted people I cannot ever actually remember having a conversation with, since I figure they probably don't remember me any better.

Personally, I think they just need to increase our friends list capacity

And I'm looking forward to a vmk fix again now that I'm back from Seattle. I've missed chatting with everyone!

I totally agree! Not to mention I've heard different numbers as to the amount of friends you can have and I never seem to get anywhere near that when I get the full message! But like Blue Minnie, I typically go through and first look at last date on and that sometimes clears out several (although you have to be careful that it is not a friend on vacation! lol! Almost did that to CinamonToast one day while she was on vacation since I looked at the date and almost clicked delete! But luckily I double checked the name before I hit delete!) The next step I use to clear it out is go back through and clear any of the people that I was being nice in accepting (I'm too nice sometimes!), but have nothing in common with or have gotten too many messages that just say "come" or "come model".

 

[JeanJoe]

Yeah, this is a real common problem. As a "me too", I also remove people who haven't logged on in a week or so, but that sometimes removes people who are just on vacation

But even then, I end up running out of space on a regular basis.

It's gotten to the point that every time I accept a friend request, I preface it with a "btw, I need to clear out my friends lists regularly, so sorry in advance if I have to remove you later"

If anyone's reading this who has been removed, sorry

Finally, there is a bug that is still intermittent where it says that your friends list is full, even though you do NOT have the ~150 friends that are supposedly the current max. If it says your list is full, try clicking accept anyway -- that worked for me to get past the previous ~50 maximum.

 

[TLinden16]

Wow. I'm not nearly as possible as you all. I'm not anywhere near my max level. LOL

Well, I clear out the friends list maybe once a week. I start with all the Guests that don't have usernames. I figure, if they are a Dis friend, I will see them again with their real name and can add them later. I also go through and weed out all the people who send me messages that just say "come now". Ugh, there is no shortage of rudeness on VMK sometimes. I try to always have room for Dis members so that I can add them and figure out where my people are

 

[BriarRosie]

I have the maxxed out friends list, too!

In fact, I kept trying to add TinkerTracy to my friends list last night
without success, even when I tried to delete a couple of people off
my list.

It started revolving where I added a couple, deleted a couple. I deleted
those who haven't been in the game since July, and worked from there.

I really hope I can add TinkerTracy (if I can find her again). LOL!

It was just extremely frustrating.

There must be some serious bugs, because even when I've cleared people,
I still couldn't add TinkerTracy to my list yesterday. "ARG!"

The other bugs I've had the joy of experiencing:

- crashing when I'm in first level of fireworks
- crashing when trying to enter the pirates game lobby
- queue of thousands (ok, not quite) for Jungle Cruise (not a bug, but an annoyance, really)
- and just crashing every once in a while, while breathing, let's say

Did I mention how often I've been crashing? LOL! The only game I can
play without crashing: Music. Yay.

I can still remember the day I was removed from two friends list! Ouch!
But now...I understand the need to remove people. I met alot of people during beta and put many of them on my list, those are the ones to go. Many have not been back so there is no need for them to be on my list.

As bezoar said above, I look at the last on date.

 

[blizzard]

I hear you on the crashing. I must have crashed about 10 times yesterday!

For my friends list, as others have said, I clear out people who haven't been around for two weeks or so. (I have left people that haven't been on for two weeks but have Dis in their signature. I'll wait a month for those ones just to make sure they are actually gone from the game)

The quickest way off my friends list is to repeatedly send me "spam" messages, such as come here, etc. If you are going to request my presence, at least use a "please" and an "if you have time". I also delete stalkers pretty quick. If you are following me from room to room when I'm not really doing much, I find that pretty creepy. I had one person come up to me in a room and say, "Do you like me?". I responded with, "I don't know you." and left. Then he showed up in the next room I went to, so I realized he must be on my list. I immediately removed him and went somewhere else.

 

[goofy4dizney]

I pretty much follow the same rule of thumb as the rest of these Dis'ers. Check the dates of last log-in, double check the name for familiarity, and then off you go! LOL

They really need to do something about the size of the list, considering the amount of people now playing VMK on a regular basis.

And I wanted to say "hello" to BriarLori, who incidentally just added me to her bulging friends' list this weekend!! Nice to meet you -- it looks like we are both from the same part of the country.

I have maxed out mine twice and just removed people who were not DISers from it or like everyone else had not been in the kingdom for at least 2 weeks.

What happens when you remove someone do they get a notice that they have been removed?


I will feel bad if they do. FlythenFall sent me an invite and I could not accept because at that time I was maxed. IT seems to be 75 friends now so they have increased it by 25, I think because wasn't it 50 during Beta?

Here's what I do! I remove those who I haven't seen online in quite some time, and I keep those who I talk to on a regular basis. I wish that VMK would give us an unlimited amount of spaces for friends.

 

[JeanJoe]

I didn't want to say this before, but yes, this is another thing that gets an immediate deletion off my list. It has to be repeated though.

The quickest way off my friends list is to repeatedly send me "spam" messages, such as come here, etc. If you are going to request my presence, at least use a "please" and an "if you have time". I also delete stalkers pretty quick. If you are following me from room to room when I'm not really doing much, I find that pretty creepy

 

[surferrat]

I just try to keep all the Dis players on there...Makes it easier..lol

I hate when they do that!!

~150 friends that are supposedly the current max. If it says your list is full, try clicking accept anyway -- that worked for me to get past the previous ~50 maximum.

Do most people get this many??
Mine seems to max out at 20! (Sorry to people I removed from my list
)

 

[JeanJoe]

Try clicking accept anyway -- it's buggy.

I'll count mine up at some point, but it's way more than 50, I think.

Edited to add: after another clean-out, I'm somewhere in the order of 120 right now.

I mostly have dis people on my list too. I use pretty much the same method of clearing it out. When was the last time they were on? Are they dis? When was the last time I remember talking to them? I also wish there was no limit to how many friends you could have in VMK. As I told BriarLori last night, there is no limit to how many friends you can have in real life. And if you need help finding TinkerTracy, let me know.

On that note, to all my friends in VMK, I wasn't on much this last weekend, and my time in VMK will be limited this week since I am in a wedding this Saturday, and my house has turned into wedding prep central. I am looking forward to the wedding, but I will miss my VMK friends. (Maybe I'll host a party when it's over. )
