I had put it off for a long time, I think it was over a year in two of the cases; these people were among the first that I added when I first came to the forum looking for neighbours. Does anyone else do this? Hold on to neighbours long after they've gone inactive, just for nostalgia's sake? My cut off for unfriending is 12 weeks of non-playing (at least since neighbour visits stopped paying out after 90 taps, used to be 4), because, hey, I've taken breaks myself. But these guys, I held on to them and held out hope they'd be back. It's gonna be weird going through my visits later, these were some of the people that were anchors, like I'd see their towns without even looking at the name and know how far through my list I was. So, shout out to jpassir, saucyfrazz, and xplim. You will be missed, but it was time to go. I hope life beyond TSTO is treating you well.

I have 2 that haven't played in many months, maybe over a year. They were some of the first that added me. I do not want to delete them yet. They were good neighbors. I'm hoping they will return soon.

If you want a new neighborino I have space

I try not to get rid of them. But I usually look for ones that have no event currency what so ever. That tells me they haven't even touched the game in over a month. I just canned someone just now because of that. But, so far most of mine are pretty active I think. Oh, and I always have space. I don't think I have as many neighbors as I thought I did.

I don't know, you never really know your neighbours, but you get a sense of them by how they design their town, when they visit, how often they visit, etc. I know it's not hard to get new ones, but I guess I'm a bit of a sap. "jofre_nash;1486366" wrote:If you want a new neighborino I have space Sounds good, I'll add you! Thanks so much for the offer. I've been over in the Add Me thread replacing people, but as I was writing this farewell I thought people might take it as an "add me" in disguise. I really just wanted to see if anyone was as weird as me with their neighbour-clinging habits. :smile: "1pillform;1486387" wrote:I try not to get rid of them.

But, so far most of mine are pretty active I think. Oh, and I always have space. I don't think I have as many neighbors as I thought I did. That's partly what I go by too, no event currency, and also when it's getting down to nothing to tap in their town. That's what makes me check the last time they played. But since the game has become event-based, rather than level-based, I find I'm giving people a bit more time. I'm the same, I thought I was way up there in neighbours, but at last count I think I was around 50! Where did they all go? lol

Just said goodbye to three of my oldest neighbourinos

The only one I have is my sister who has about 5 squares of land! She barely played and hasn't done for 3 years... pure sibling love. She does have a THOH reward from 2013 that I lost when my town got deleted so in a tiny way she's better off than me! Otherwise, no, if I can't click after a month or so then I delete.

bahaha, I have 4 people in my list that I know in real life, and I won't ever delete them (maybe because family/friend, maybe because I'm hoping they'll give me their abandoned towns, with their leftover donuts, and then maybe one day we'll be able to gift stuff to other players). I like your policy though, 4 weeks used to be my threshold, thinking I should go back.

At the start of a new event, I copy down the names of all my neighbors and whether or not they have the starting point building. Then I check each day as I go on visits, to see if they have caught up. After act 2 starts, I usually start the reaping. I have only one neighbor that I hang on to, because, as with this event, they didn't start collecting until act 2.
Most have started by the weekend after the start of a new event, my guess is they don't regularly visit until then and have to try and play catch up.

I am so glad I'm not the only one @happyone2323 I have 2 neighbours that I got cross-over from other games. I know they play others but aren't here now. they were my first 2 friends so I hang on to them :) there's plenty others I can delete for inactivity. Besides we have someone, don't remember off hand who showed up on forum saying they were back after a couple year absence. What if they came back and I wasn't there for them?!!! That would be terrible :)
Thing is, I can have a 100 friends, those 2 (or 3) don't eat up my numbers and their names being there makes me smile and hope they'll come back so I leave em. :) of course I'm kinda lame for someone who loves skulls and graves so much lol

I have one of my original neighbors who I just can't bring myself to delete, their town was the one I wanted my town to grow up and be like. They've not been on in a long time, makes me wonder what could have happened to them.

Yep, I totally get that nostalgia feeling.
I still have someone who actually nuked his town, build just the Simpsons house back up, and used his white fences to write: "good bye, I'm all set" ( in french ).
There's literally nothing to see, but I keep him,.......for whatever reason

It's hard to let them go. Still have a few that I can't bring myself to say goodbye to!

Send me a request, Jofre, I've got room.

Haha I know I'm glad you didn't erase me man. I played the game once in a while during that hiatus but yea I took a long break from the forum. It's good to be back.
