I'll start. I usually keep around 30 neighbors so I can properly watch (spy) on their farm progress. I'm up to thirty instead of 20 because if coin farming but I like the neighbors I have.

No house farmers, but I've been more lax since the update and some of my neighbors threw up temporary farms for neighbors. Overall I like attractive Springfields I can get inspiration from. Id love to have some forum regulars on my list but I'm not cool enough. :P

I didn't have any TSTO friends for about a month. Then I added 25 and it ballooned to 100 quickly which caused my game to crash like crazy. I deleted them all and slowly added back in the ones I had really liked. I keep getting invites so it has quickly exploded back to 90. I don't like having that many because I feel guilty if I don't visit each one every day so after the holidays I will go back down.Right now the plan is around 50 and I've identified 40 that I have to keep. These are people who are active on here or who have towns that I love. I actually plan on keeping a coupe of farmers because I like their towns. I also plan on keeping a couple of lower level players because they have done great things with their towns already and I'm excited for them.So the driving force for me is interaction on here, I like having friends who are active on this forum and who I feel like I'm getting "to know". Second to that would be the aestetics of their towns.

For my primary town, I prefer neighbors who keep their vandalizable buildings accessible, neighbors I've "met" on this forum, and neighbors with whom my Springfield grew. For my secondary town, I like to have neighbors who appear to be having fun with their Springfields. You know, elements of humor, character farming, some design elements present, and the like. Inconsiderate neighbors I delete. For instance, those who have huge, empty spaces as the 1st encounter (on purpose) or have profane messages etched in foliage or shrubbery, etc. We can no longer learn who visits, but if someone hasn't logged on in a week (and there are no reports of server problems), I usually delete or consider deleting.

I had 90 friends to obtain all the coins. I have chopped them down to 30 and there are about 10 that have bought land so I am giving them until the big thaw to redesign or they will get the ax. :D Not really. There are a few that I not only have had from the beginning but they have pretty cool ideas and towns.

I have 100 friends that are daily players (actually I have one spot open for mdfriend, whom I'll be adding next time I login). It took a lot of culling to get to 100 daily players, but now I'm on an even harder mission. Ultimately, I'd like my list to be exclusively forum members, friends, and people that have awesome Springfields. I've begun deleting towns that I can't "learn from" because their town has been a mess for ages and clearly isn't going to be redecorated. I also plan to delete some people that aren't progressing at all. Lastly, and I kind of feel bad about this one, I'll probably be deleting some people with zero premium items. Not nice towns, there are some great towns that didn't cost a penny. I just mean the ones that are also crappy. I don't hate all farms, especially since they were great for Santa coin collecting. But some farms that are poorly constructed and make my game crash have been already deleted for the most part.There are still a ton of regulars I need to add, as soon as I cull some more I'll start adding more of you guys!

You are awesome.

I would never be able to cut you if we were to be friends. It would be too evil. My town is ginormous and very ornate. You would need like a week at least to recreate that sucka.

:) Swoon... :)

Awwww thank you so much!

I'm not culling anybody who I interact with on here. That is the biggest draw for me these days, seeing the towns of those who are active posters and watching them grow and change. The only reason I would do that is if their towns make me crash all the time and even then only if it's because it is a house farmer that is causing the crashing.

Happy New Year!

Lissa, some of the most elaborate and spacious towns will also crash games, not just those with multiple houses. Those hedge mazes are lovely, but added to the rest of the decorations, they can prove deadly. Just saying. . .

Happy New Year, all!

I just combed out the farmers from my list. Most of them were random people from add me threads. Do need more friends now.

LOL you scared me for a minute there. I thought "Wait, am I causing crashing?" then I realized we aren't friends and issued a sigh of relief. Oh I know that elaborate towns can cause it too those are the ones I'm willing to put up with...I thought I conveyed that in my post? if not, sorry I meant to convey that lol. Elaborate towns that cause crashing are not going to get deleted but house farmers/ugly towns that cause crashing will be (well unless I like the person from posting on here then...shrug).

So basically there is no rhyme or reason to my decision....or any of my decisions....I'm at the mercy of my whims.

I added anyone while tying to get santa coins but now am going through them, keeping the ones which look cool. Have a couple of people who are farming but I prefer the decorated ones where I can steal ideas
