3-4 weeks. Right now I probably have a few that need to be replaced but I generally don't bother until I have a good handful of people. I'm actually starting to like random adds because so many of my niehbors stop playing so often, it gets tedious having to replace so much plus those people are turning out to be good adds :mrgreen:

I guess I'm pretty harsh. I give about a week, on average. The way it typically works out is that I don't notice they're gone until there's nothing to tap. On a typical max-level town, that might take anywhere from 4 days to a week. I start paying attention when I have to check their Krustyland for something to tap. By the time everything's gone, I take a look at how long they've been offline. If it's less than 3-4 days, I give them a little more. If it's close to or more than a week, I drop them. There are exceptions: if I see a message saying they're on vacation, or if I particularly like their town or know them from the forum, I give them more leeway. But basically, I usually have at least 10 friend requests pending because people keep randomly sending them. I don't really sweat losing one random for another.

I generally allow around 8 weeks before I think about removing them from my neighbours list.

Active forum member...I give him/her two weeks before I send a PM asking them what's going on.Random person? A week at most. No connection to them, no reason to keep someone I don't know around when there are others who need neighbors and who are active all the time.

For me, it depends on who the neighbor is. If they have been a good neighbor for a long time, and then I see inactivity, I assume something may be going on with them, so I'll give them more time than normal. Otherwise, I typically unfriend after 4 hours of inactivity, unless they're an excellent neighbor, then I may double that time.

If there is consistently nothing to tap in someone's town. So if I am friends with someone and they log in once every 6 days but I can only tap their town once a week, that person will be deleted. Had to delete someone who was a weekly player only a few eels ago. Just had nothing to tap when I visited. When I check I usually give people a week. As said before though, I am much more lenient with RL friends and forums members.

:lol: You chose the 474, Barry. I'm pretty sure it did not choose you.

Actually, I chose just my name but the game altered it into what you see now. I'm hideous. Look away...

I signed up for my origin account in 2010 for a different game and at the time I'm pretty sure they required you to have numbers in your username. I would never have put numbers in there otherwise.

I only unfriend during events. If you haven't started the event within 24 hours you gotta go.

Outside of events? I love my neighbors that visit, but don't mind at all that some of my neighbors don't. Most of my neighbors are max level so none of us get anything out of visiting neighbors on a daily basis.

Well... I mean, as long as you are a forum member that I recognize, I can overlook the number thing.

You guys are one of the good ones. :wink:

Same, although I usually give it a week into an event. I don't do any real neighbor culling during down times, and I do very litte neighbor visiting myself.

This is true. I contacted EA complaining about Bravewall not accepting my invite because of numbers in my user name. Not only did they change how my user name appears in his game, so he'd accept my 48th invitation, EA also gave me some donuts for my troubles, and assured me they would "coach" him on his anti-numberist attitude. :lol:

Sounds like you ended up with the typical call center employee who gave you what you wanted to hear and didn't actually do anything :lol: :mrgreen:

No, they actually did send me a notice about sensitivity training so that I can better appreciate people who identify themselves with numbers in their names.

Instead of reading it, decided to quit being a moderator. I'm still waiting for them to remove my mod status, but they are slow on changes like that. So basically I have all of the power, and none of the responsibility at the moment which is pretty awesome. But I'd rather be a regular forum member than have to respect number names in any way, shape or form.
my town has a number in its name. becuase i forgot my original login but just made new acc becuase diddent really get anywhere.

I only unfriend after about 4 weeks and even then I feel guilty. Some of my neighbours have been with me since I started and we have grown together so I do feel loyalty to them.

It is good when people post on here that they are having difficulties getting on line or are away for a while because I do worry .

2 weeks without an event, during an event I keep track of who visits me and if they don't visit me once in 4 days I switch them.

I give them about 2 weeks, less if I'm feeling cranky. I'm a daily/hourly tapper...add me if you want someone to visit your town every day, someone ultra-active in their town, too! I refuse to buy donuts so I know I'll be at this a looooong time to earn enough donuts to buy the premium stuff.
