Perhaps adding 400 friends wasn't the best idea...

«1
Anyone else gotten themselves into this situation? xD

It's taking ages to go through page after page of friends, checking who to remove and who not to. Because of all these notifications! It would be nice if there were a quicker way to go about it!

Suppose it's my own fault though. >_< *sigh*

Will definitely teach me not to be so...accepting of friend requests. Pages just get far too busy! :shock:

    rofl.gif I bet, though I'm sure many, MANY lists will be getting very small very fast. I think it's almost a sweet taste of Karma in a sense. Those who added just for the sake of adding now have to deal with the repercussions. Personally I only had 110, now down to a beautiful 33. 400 is nothing, I removed someone with over 5,000+. That poor soul, I wish I could see the look on her face when she realizes what she has to deal with.

    So the simmers who were the kindest about accepting FR's are the ones suffering the most now. Sorry you have to deal with this headache :(

    It wasn't a bad idea considering how our MyPages were set up at the time. Now it simply isn't efficient to have so many friends. I'm now at 175, down from over 1100. The chaos has been reduced. I'm not interested in every little conversation that goes on amongst my friends, nor do I feel this new page is an improvement. It's a step backwards for the things that matter to me on my page.


    However, it depends on how you want to use your page. If you want to get the word out about your creations to a lot of people, you have a captive audience, until they remove you, but the more, the better. And if you are nosy and want to be in everyone's business, I guess it's great.

    The privacy settings allow you to restrict your comments so only friends can post. However, you will see every post they make, as well as every comment made on every post you AND/OR your friends make. This includes posts your friends have made on their own pages, as well as their friends (whom you may not know) that comments on your friends pages.

    I guess I'm kind of glad that I don't have that many friends on this site, haha. I don't want to have all those notifications.

    I didn't even notice until I read this thread. What a pain. Fortunately I only have 5 friends because I am WAY too shy to ask people to friend me. I like to post on the forums sometime, but the facebooklikeness of my new page is annoying.

    ashleyadorable I like your platypus :)

    95 friends isn't bad but my 'page' isn't my page anymore, it's my 'newsfeed'. Would love it if we could change some things to make it a bit more 'personal'

    Yes, it's a Wonderful Social system. :lol:

    I have no problem with having a lot of friends- they were added for a reason- so they could comment on my page. Now they're commenting on my page.

    It was turned into a bad thing by EA. First they said we had to be friends to comment on a page, now they said we only want comments to us on our page~ we shouldn't have friends.

    It has nothing to do with Karma. :lol:
    I still accept friend request (EA be danged)- I just might not see if you comment to me any more. :mrgreen:

    I only have 61 friends, but I've read some of the posts and...really EA? You think this was a good idea? :roll:

    I won't use my page anyway, I doubt I'll even check it anymore. I rarely checked anyway unless someone commented, but if we're gonna get every little piece of "news" on there I won't look. Sorry if you ask me anything on there and I don't reply. But now you'll know.

    Yeah, I will no longer use my page so I do not have to worry about how many friends I have.

    Still though it has nothing to do with karma though. It is just a way for EA to give simmers an unfair punishment.
    BTW, call me Jake.

    I've always only added people that I've at least talked to for a little bit if i don't know them... And i go back now and then and take out people I've forgotten about. Its not rude its just me trying to avoid a giant list of friends i don't need.. Been doing this since i got this account in 09.^^

    Oh my, I already cringe a little everytime I say something on mypage hoping no one minds seeing me in their feed haha and on top of that, I'll be spamming my friends with achievements? I didn't know this. Apologizing in advance... :shock:

    I think the achievement idea is cool and even though i haven't fully given all of them a look, i wouldn't think they would be so easy that almost anything you do, one pops up...
    Example: "You made a drink!"
    Maybe more like..
    Example: "Reached 10 in the criminal carrier!" or "Reached lifetime goal before adult hood!"

    (I can't remember what the lifetime thing is called)
