Important - Please read: To all of my DIS/VMK friends...

[SeaSpray]

Something just happened that bothered me. While I was waiting for a pirate game to start, I saw Guest-whatever number asking if anyone would be his friend. Then someone came into the lobby and started talking to me so I got distracted. Then I saw Guest-whatever number say "Please? Will anybody?" So quickly I clicked on him and clicked on "Ask to be Friend" and then I got the "You or the other person you're asking has a full friend list..." or whatever it says. Then the game started so I did not have a chance to clear someone off my list so I could add him. Immediately after the game, I went to every single Pirate lobby, looking for him, but to no avail

So here's where all of you come in: I am asking your understanding when I say that I will be deleting almost everyone from my friend list. In all honesty, out of 150 people on the list, I only talk to *maybe* 10 on a regular basis. Everyone else on the list is there simply because they're a DIS member. I wish our friend lists did not have a limit. But because they do, and because I really am feeling the need to befriend some of these kids, I am going to clear almost everyone off my list now.

If you have a problem with this, PLEASE send me a PM. And please, please do not be insulted if you get deleted from my list. Like I said, I am basically going to delete almost everyone at this point.

I'm sorry, and I hope that this does not hurt anyone's feelings. You know, maybe some of you have wanted to delete ME and thought it would hurt my feelings, well now is your chance to be rid of me off your lists

Thank you all so much for understanding


Edited to add: If any of you have children who are on my friends list, and who will be hurt by this, PLEASE let me know and I will keep them on my list! Thanks

No problem if u delete me.

I have been trying to lower the amount of my friends on my list for a long time but it takes too long.

 

[TLinden16]

It is hard to delete Dis folks from my friend list, but sometimes I have to if I don't talk to them at all.

I hope that everyone is understanding when they get deleted. It's nothing personal.

 

[Captain Brain]

I have not deleted any DIS friends yet. I haad a lot of friends that haven't been on since beta, lol.

Exactly! All these months, I've kept every single person I've met with "Dis" in their signature, on my friends list. I am about halfway done going through my list and it was kind of strange to realize that MOST of the people I deleted, I had NO IDEA who they even are, or the last time I ever saw them online.

Another thing: Please don't think that I am only deleting "non-friends". Unfortunately I'll have to delete many friends, too. Again, I'm sorry and I hope this doesn't cause any hard feelings.

 

[maliboomer]

I agree with deleting people you never talk to, but the whole point of a friends list is to have friends on it. You should still have considerable space if you keep your closest ring of VMK friends.

But your decision, if you're happy with it, that's fine .

 

[ekmdisney]

I always go through my list once a month. If some one on my list has not been on in a month they get deleted. When I first started doing this I noticed that their were people on my list who hadn't been on for over three months. So for now on once a month I clean house.

SeaSpray,

I have to say you are a very SWEET person. I don't know you, yet I would love to be your friend. You are caring and considerate. In regards to your question, I would think that if you haven't spoken to someone in a long time, they probably don't think about you on their friend list either. I would go ahead and delete them and make a new friend...

 

[SeaSpray]

Thanks for being so understanding, everyone

I had actually gotten to the point where I was going through my friend list looking to delete people in order to make room for new friends, several times a day! LOL! That's why I got to the point last night where I decided to just remove almost everyone from my list, so I wouldn't have to keep scrolling through the list, every single time I wanted to add someone new.

As I add these new "friends", which really are basically kids that I don't know, but who I've befriended, I'll continue to go through my list and delete the ones that I lose contact with after a while.

It's amazing how much of an impact it seems to make on some of these kids, just to have someone show an interest in them, and actually be added to someone's friend list.

Cape Girl,

I completely understand! Last night I had experienced something similar. I met two new awesome people and wanted to be-friend them both, so I asked them to request to be my friend considering my list was full and I could take no such action. It then took my about 15 minutes to find the people to delete. It really does break my heart to delete friends so I can imagine how you must be feeling! But Cape Girl!!!!!! I am going to miss you!!!! lol Hopefully I will see you at the docks a few times! lol Your heart is too big Girl! LOL!!

[lovethattink]

I understand completely. I'm at the point too. I need to make room for my new secret pal. And it's come down to the point of do I delete kids that are friends or DIS? If you need to delete me, that's fine. I'll catch up with you at the Zeta parties.

 

[Barbday62]

Im sort of against that friend only thing for rooms too. I never turn mine on (Well I might if I needed to work but even then I dont use it except during that compete thing) When I visit rooms with it on I get lots of messages about not being able to get there. I think we should all be friends.

You have a good point there We definitely SHOULD all be friends! I really wish that there was a way to type in someone's VMK name (within the game itself) and find them no matter where they are, not just when they are in a guest room. This way, if I was looking for someone, or someone was looking for me, and I was in a pirate lobby or some other public area, we could jump directly to that area. As of right now, search only works if the person you're looking for is in a guest's room.



I also want to thank those of you on the blue team last night who graciously offered to let our red team in pirates beat you! CapeCAD and I were going to play a Level 1 game with a girl who is brand new to pirates but who always gets shot down immediately. Before I had a chance to start the game, I saw some people join on the other side. One of them was Boatguy, not sure who else was with him. Anyway, I wasn't sure how they'd feel about me asking them to lose on purpose (just so that my little friend could get some firing practice in), but they were WONDERFUL and offered to just stay still in the water so she could shoot them As it turned out the girl disconnected during the game, but the point is that the blue team was kind enough to graciously lose on purpose.

So, THANKS BOATGUY and the rest of the blue team!

And thanks to CL_FrontierSuzy for playing pirates with me yesterday during the day (I hope you're feeling better today), we both were helping someone get through a lower level in the pirate game All this Level 1 playing makes me realize that I stink at Level 1!! So it's been kind of fun for me too, playing Level 1 and 2 again, with these kids.

 

[SeaSpray]

P.S.

I didn't delete any DIS kids! Well, at least nobody that I *know* is a kid! LOL There are a lot of very mature kids/teens here on the DIS and sometimes I don't realize that some of these people are not adults! So if you're a kid and I deleted you, please take that as a compliment because it means I didn't realize you were a young person! Also, if you still want to be on my list, come and see me and I'd be happy to add you back in ok?

And thank you to all of you who've sent me PMs and messages within VMK. I truly appreciate your comments and support

 

[Laurabearz]

But.... but.... but.... I just got on your list.... Waaaaaaaaaaaaa

But, I understand. Your role as a CL is important. I will just have to wait until your in a room to pounce! lol

 

[*TrixieBella*]

A friend asked me recently why I did not keep my room friends only (my room gets alot of traffic) My reply was: It is much more fun to keep it open and meet all of the wonderful people that might happen to stop by. I have met a few great people this way, so CapeGirl I completely understand. I, myself, just had to clean out my list as well and have started to expand my circle of friends beyond the DIS.

 

[BriarRosie]

I totally understand. I had to delete people to add others all the time,
and yes, I've deleted people from the DIS to make room. I will understand
completely if I don't see you on my friends' list anymore.

I probably should start deleting people I don't really see rather than keeping
them on for sentimental reasons.

 

[Aunt Cawa]

Capegirl,

I think it is great that you take your job as CL so seriously. You do so much to increase the enjoyment of the game not only for the newcomers but also us ancient beta people. The game has gotten so large that it is impossible to keep up with many of the friends we made in the early days. That being said, no problem with removing me from your friends list but I still consider you a friend whether on a list or not.

 

[Maleficent2]

I really wish that VMK would increase the size of our lists again...especially us CL's as it seems we never have enough space to add new people and I feel so bad when I say no.


Totally understand!
