I just left 7 tribes that were dead, no longer interested me , etc.
I also declined over 35 tribe invitations. I had so many and sometimes I feel bad saying no
but I had too.
I'm down to 25 and I'm giving a handful a chance to wake up and if I feel like
I'm talking to myself, or no one else posts-I'm will leave them too.

Hey , spring cleaning

    I'm down to 17...after reading your post, I checked my list and got rid of one more. I didn't let myself get over 20 to begin with.

    Oh, and uh, morning all ;-) ;-)

      yea, I've been looking at my list, too & dropping dead or spam ridden tribes, & I'm trying not to lurk but sometimes I'm more interested in what other people have to say or looking at new photos.

    I've posted a few things in dead tribes and only got weird responses if any so I dropped them. I also had to drop a few that I just wasn't that interested in. I'm only keeping the ones I get excited to read. -Freya

    I went even further and I block out some others from my viewing on my home page. I am not into Tribe like I used to be going on 5 years ago.

      Wow, it really has been that long, huh? I think that's 4 years on Tribe for me, now!

      Good call, Erika... spring cleaning? :)

        I had an experience that had me spring clean too. Maybe it's time to do it again. I think some of them would have been great, but they were just dead.

    I just did the same thing cleaning out tribes that hadn't been posted in for over 6 months+. I think everyone got really tired of the downtime, I have mostly moved to Facebook.

      I am mostly on Facebook as well. I belong to groups there but I don't visit them.

        Yeah, me either. I just never think to visit groups, since nothing about them ever shows up in the updates box or the newsfeed or anything...

    Spring cleaning is a great idea. Preferring to visit tribes with active topics and contribute if there is something positive to be said. Have my profile set on private, received one too many inappropriate comments. They somehow thought it was a compliment, I just cleaned off their comments and felt much better. Off to delete a few more tribes.

      I have a pet peeve with beating a dead horse on some tribes, when someone drags up a thread from 2 or more yrs ago, it's almost never good. I also hate when I have put my foot in my mouth, & it comes back to haunt me a yr or so later!

        It never occurred to me to how many dead tribes I belonged to. The number was 35 no it's down to 18 and there's like three more I'm probably leave in a couple of days.

            "now, if ONLY I could get the motivation for my HOUSE!!!! "

            Ha ha Etta! I second that! (Rumour has it that my bedroom has a floor, but as I haven't seen said floor for a while, I doubt it is nothing but a rumour...)

            Btw, cleaning out tribes I understand, but cleaning out friends??????
