Did someone say random friend requests?


I agree that being ignored by a friend is upsetting-- it's happened to me on my other RPG (roleplaying partner found a new group of friends and left me in the cold; the usual)! Whilst people are inevitably closer to some friends than others, it's no reason to blatantly ignore someone who quips a 'Hello'-- unless they're afk, busy or mid-roleplay and such! I try to respond to everyone, friend or not, though I'll admit it's difficult when you're in the middle of a paragraph of text.
Though, I'm guilty as charged. I'll whole-heartedly admit to not remembering some of the people on my friendslist; I'm often added after a small roleplay session and I accept in the hopes that more will come from it! I generally just remove them from my list after an eternity of silence-- we've evidently never talked or roleplayed if I'm struggling to remember who they are! I'd rather be happy to see a yellow dot, rather than to furrow my brows in confusion and exclaim: "
Who's that?".

(Though, I definitely wouldn't reply with "Who the hell are you?"; I'd chat as normal- that's beyond rude!)
