My Plan...
14 years ago
Ok so here goes my plan.
Im going to download some sort of messenger program. Probly Pidgin cuz i liked that before. And for the first time in a long time, im going to turn it on, log in and set it to auto launch upon boot.
I will then immediately remove EVERYONE from my friends list.
And start over.
Afterward, i will be much more fickle with my messenger. I will let people add me, but will remove those i dont immediately want to talk to regularly. This isnt intended to be an insult, just a form of managment. Im sure many of your friends list are quite similar, but i cant handle a friends list filled with 200+ people i dont really know.
In the mean time, one of the best ways to contact me is through steam. I still need to go through and remove a good portion of the people on my friends list, but because i play with a lot of them, i think ill keep it full.
GTalk, will now be shortened to only a select few people, since that is the only messenger currently tied to my phone. Friend requests through google talk will be promptly ignored unless expected. (Especially since i use Gtalk for file and desktop sharing.)
Skype will get similar treatment to Gtalk.
Twitter will be kept locked, but this is only due to spam bots. I will accept anyone who appears furry. Sorry if it takes me a long time to accept your follow request, but it doesnt let me do it from my phone.
Now by start over i mean start over. That means everyone. So if your a good friend, and suddenly see me remove you, please dont take it the wrong way. It would take me ages of filtering that i really just dont want to do, so a fresh start is just easier.
And finally, i will probly do similar to what i did for steam. Set the program to silent, and only alert me of online status of select people.

(Sounds good)
I found them to be an efficient way of managing my list without tossing anyone out.
Hehe and i forgot anyways, i had created new accounts for aim and yahoo, ones with more proper names. So i didnt have to change much of my friends list at all. They were already gone. XD
