How many friends do you have

Now that is something! ahhahah

my RL wife has well over 250 friends, but only about 30-50 that she keeps in contact with on the reg. most are newbis that she has helped out, and she will never truen down a friendship neither! she hardly ever drops anyone but resently she has been droping people who send her 10 tps in a row without even saying hi lol But me I might have 30 friends on my list and only about 5 that I keep in contact with the others are mostly all bussiness.

I have a friend.

One person I spoke to once.

I don't like people.

Some people offer friendship without saying a word, never seen them before, not likely to again, so I decline.

One person deleted my card which is fine, but I still get notification when they log in and out which is weird.

I have 0-50 on my list and couldn't cope with hundreds.

Friends? Well I have something close to 20 people on my list but not all of them are friends LOL. If they keep in touch I leave them on but if I don't hear from them in a while (say 1 month) I drop them. No warning. ;o)
I'm pretty picky on who I accept as a friend. Not accepting a friendship offer if I don't exchange at least a few words with you. ;o)

I only manage to keep it down to what used to be 4 or 5 pages of friends by going through when things get boring and deleting the people whom I've completely forgotten or never speak to.

3 its me ,myself and I

So then it becomes a matter of QUANTITY and not QUALITY for this sort of person...

Personally.. i think i have under 100.. but each one i do have.. i commune with on a regular basis.. they KNOW who i am, and what im up to, as well as, they KNOW i love them.

well that depends. I been around since 2004 . more then 50% have stopped or quit playing.......Quility does come into pay these days.

I had to STOP openly accepting friends.. the griefers and drama queens n kings that are out there caused WAY to much.. so now.. is more like RL.. gets ta know someone.. if i likes em... i adds em.. and vice a versa.. thank you though is a nice change of topic from: LINDENS suck at this.. and SL is being a pain you know where..

I remove avatars who never call me after a month. If I didnt I would have an unmanageable list. I prefer to show on-line/off-line. I think SL can create many "false" friends. I prefer the word "connections". As I grow older here I am less inclined to simply call people on IM and say "Hi! How ya doin?" - you almost hear the collective grown. My SL daughter has HUNDREDS of friends. They come wandering onto her property (a spare 512 sq ms of mine) and doss down for the night or come whittering around trying desperately to look cool. On a much lighter note, I am constantly having to ban "so-and-so" or "whatsizname" who she has had "words" with.
Friends are the sauce with which Secondlife is eaten.

I probably have about 200 or so people in there. Many I haven't spoken to in a while, but I just know that they will speak to me seconds after I remove them, so I don't. I really wish there was a "last seen" feature for friends lists.

Someoen who made such a thing as a hud (using the tracking information we already receive) would certainly have me as a customer.

thank you

Another reason I posted a poll is newer users don`t really add friends. The older one ( that still believe in friendships mostly ). I rarely add friends myself do to the very fact you said. But I wonders if friends list have see their day in the sun, and are now losing their appeal.

Wonders if LLAbs has lost any friends on people listings. I had this happen before.

myself and I are not friends, and I do not know me.

Actually, I couldn't figure out how to get into the forums until this month. That is why it says August 2007 by my name (as my signature notes, I've been on since 1969, 11 pm to be exact . .. strange thing to see when you enter the forum for the first time: Weclome - last on: 1969, 11 pm).

Since the largest percentage is found with 0-50, I'd turn that around and ask "Who wants people to know they're "easy" right?"

There are three people on the friend list that I communicate regularly through IM's and the like, and at least 2 more that I see regularly and communicate in person. The rest never seem to be on at the same time I am (not that the first 5 are on at the same time, heck most of the time I am the only one on). There are also at least 2 others that I consider friends but who are not on my friend list. Mostly because I have never been the first to offer friendship (quite shy, actually).

No, me too. I try to keep the notes thing up to date, as it gives me a clue about them even if I haven't heard from them for ages. It's been really helpful.

I did IM the ones I removed at first with an apologetic remark about the fact I only met them once and haven't talked to them since and the hope that we might be friends again in future. No-one replied so I haven't bothered since, though I don't often remove.

On my first day, someone offered me "friendship for one day". This made me curious and after a week or so I contacted them (using the calling card list to remember the name), and since then they have been one of my best friends.

And people I haven't heard from for ages will suddenly IM me and we get to know each other better as a result. So I'm wary about removing people, as there could be a great future friendship there.

But my main thing about it is ---- I have calling cards, and I have a Friends list, but I wish I could split the Friends into Best Friends and Other Friends. I don't want a blue "Online" "Offline" message for anyone except my best friends.

One last plea - could we have the Friends button back again, separate from the Communicate button?

Oh and the callling card thingie:

1) I had a calling card in my inventory right when I started (literally right when I started). Became friends, but the question is: Do people normally have at least 1 calling card already in inventory when they start?

2) How do you exchange calling cards?

If you refer a friend you gt that person calling card.


right mouse click the person then offer friends card in the second pie menu.

I keep reading about people giving calling cards instead of friending them. So there is a calling card option on the pie menu thingie?

Yes. Under "More" I believe there is a "Give card" option.

Ive really gotta clean out that calling cards file

Ok, thank-you

right mouse click------>then then more-------->Give card

i have maybe 10 ppl in my friends list because i dont tend to socialise much. nearly everyone has 'see my status' disabled and i largely view IMs as more of a distraction than anything.
