if i delete you on skype, it is not because i am mad at you. l o l i regularly cleanse my skype contacts list so that i have less than 20 contacts on it at a time; if we don't regularly talk, i probably deleted you. if i added you because we were talking skins and the skin has been completed, i probably deleted you. if the only reason we talk is because of one or two reasons about one or two things repeatedly, i probably deleted you, bc that kind of thing can be handled on pm.

i keep having people think i'm mad at them or pissed because i deleted them on skype when that's really not the case and it's getting slightly tiring, ngl, so.

this is also a note for people who i may not have necessarily deleted, but - if you've been deleted by someone on skype, it does not necessarily equate to that they are mad at you. |D;

so. for both future and past reference, this is a regular habit of mine, so please don't think i'm mad at you if i have deleted you / delete you in the future from skype. =u= b

can i get an amen to this?!?
i actually got a message from a friend of mine who thought exactly the same thing.
i deleted her because we hadn't spoken in the longest so i was just cleaning out my list.
and she thought i was mad at her because of it.

nope. i clean out my list all the time because random people be adding me to their list and then never speaking to me again.

THIS COMPLETELY. I delete people quite often because a lot of people just up and don't talk to me anymore. I'm not /mad/ at people. I just like a more organized thing for the way people CAN reach me. I don't like having all these people I don't talk to. If you don't talk to me for more than four or so months- I'm deleting you. I've done this with people before and they went off the deep end thinking it was some way of me cutting them out of my life forever or telling them that I never wanted to speak to them again.

Uh...if you're going to overreact then it's probably a good thing I don't have you on my skype anymore. Skype is a way for people who actively talk to me to be able to do so. I want to keep up to date on your statuses to make sure you're not depressed and why would I have that little space cluttered by people who status-spam and I don't really talk to? Or why take up a space on my folder when I have two other people who constantly message me and I see no point in having you there to pop up in the corner when I don't talk to you? I mean...sorry guys, but it's really just habit.

Also I've been told, "Message me if you're deleting me." - uh, no. It's my choice to delete you and if we don't talk then why the hell would you need a warning?

[EMMIE]

"Message me if you're deleting me" - How awkward is that conversation going to be?

"Hi! We don't talk anymore so I am deleting you." - Me
"Wha?!? We talk!" - Them
"Uh... no we don't. The last time was months ago." - Me
"WELL, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" - Them
"But.... you haven't?" - Me

Honestly, that is the weirdest conversation in the making with an outcome that will be awkward and uncomfortable for both parties involved XD

[Egao, Egao Everywhere]

Me, I do delete people on my Skype if they did something that made me upset or anything by association.

I deleted Sifr a month ago. It's only thanks to GS that she had the excuse to talk to me again and summoned Katya as the middle person.

[Deleted]

I tried to delete echo once. That was pretty intense.

[SIFR]

I don't delete people unless they have wronged me or mine in some horrible fashion and I can't bear to see their name or anything else about them. I've got friends I've had since I first got my Skype about six years ago, and friends I've known for over a decade and only talk to every six months. So I guess I'm one of those people who blink stupidly and wonder what I did when someone's deleted me.

I don't really see the purpose of it. If you want to find a specific person, either go to Recent or search their name in the search bar.

But to each their own.

I'm like Sifr, I hoard contacts and groups like no tomorrow and have people from my age-old minecraft stage that I used to get on servers with all the time and haven't actually talked to in 2+ years. I have the /bUT WHAT IF I WANT TO TALK TO THEM? mentality and don't want to potentially lose a name and be unable to find it again.

Plus it becomes interesting when they change their name and I get weird usernames popping up on my desktop announcing their online and I only know who they are like 10% of the time. I'm amused XD. I personally don't understand the need for a short list, since you can always favorite the people you talk to a lot to get them pinned at the top.

I was just very confused when I got that message. "Uh...what."

As for those who keep a lot of people, that's fine. A lot of my friends continue to do that. I however don't really see the point. I keep most of the people I know in a bloody notebook somewhere if I need to get a hold of them. However I'm NOT a talkative person on Skype. If I'm not going to talk to you, I don't need you popping up in the corner or spamming the status page. There is no point for you to exist on a place that I keep open all the time. If people need to talk to me, there's PM.

There are people on my Skype who I don't talk to super often but have a good relationship with. They can stay- I don't care. However if I don't know you that well/don't care about you all that much/or we honestly don't talk and I don't see the point of having a conversation...you can do whatever ya want and go away.

I mean...it's like email contacts. I have to have those organized too. I'm a hermit in real life as much as I am on the computer.

[Egao, Egao Everywhere]

who needs skype when you have gangnam style anyway

[pascaline]

Honestly I have people on my contacts I have not talked to in five years.

I have people on my contacts I don't even like that much.

But I have them on because the thought of deleting them scares me. Deleting them is like saying "you no longer exist and I hate you." I literally won't block someone unless they're truly intolerable.

SO WHEN I FOUND OUT A CERTAIN PERSON DELETED ME FROM SKYPE, I FREAKED OUT, OK?

It's literally a different mentality about deleting.

[middy♥]

How do you even know if someone has deleted you from Skype? /skypenoobiguess?

I don't mind deleting people and I do it often. It's mostly those that haven't contacted me in months, or are a part of an RP I tried joining but didn't get the feel for. Seeing them on my list makes me feel guilty and stuff so they just go byebye. xD But yeah, how does anyone even know if you've deleted them? I'm pretty sure there are people on my list who have deleted me, and I don't know it. Would they still come up as online or just remain offline for the rest of eternity until they add you again? IDEK Skype befuddles me.
