Summer Cleaning - had me a blast!

Several months ago, I noticed that I had several "retired" friends among the 750+ friends in my profile. xHamster, to their credit, added a "Defriend Retired Users" button in their Users section.

(Click on "Edit Profile", find and click on "My Friends" in the left hand column under "Users", and scroll to the bottom of your friend list. You'll find the button of which I speak along with "Defriend User" - keep reading)

However, I took this one step further.

I clicked on each and every one of the remaining friends on my profile. To my amazement, I discovered approximately 100+ friends whose profiles looked active (their AVs weren't the bunny ears) but came up "User Not Found"!

That's when I started using the "Defriend User" button and got rid of these bogus profiles. Where they came from or went isn't my concern - they don't exist, they don't belong.

When I was finished, I went from 750+ friends to around 600. So I added more friends and soon I was around 800+ friends again.

This past weekend, I decided to do this whole exercise once again. I reclicked on every one of my friends and found a whole new batch of "User Not Founds".

When that was done, I went back yet again and looked for dormant profiles (users who haven't signed on in over 30 days). Since I've been a member of xHamster for approaching two years, I had a longggggg list of people who hadn't signed on in over 100 days.

The longest was around 210 days since she last signed on. It's safe to say she probably won't be back.

Now I'm back to around 600+ friends again. But most of these friends are or have been active during the past month. So unless they go "User Not Found" in the near future, I think I'm done cleaning out my profile.

If you've read this far, thanks! I hope you'll be inspired to clean out a little of your own dead weight in your profile!
