I go through spurts where I remain in the communities, but remove them from my fl. They get cumbersome. When I was in a fanfic drabble community, it drove me mad.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Brenda, with communities, you can either choose to not see a specific community's entries on your Friendslist (I think you set it up that way when you join the community), or you can fiddle with your code and set it so that you don't see ANY of your communities on your Friendslist.
Sometimes I like the fake name thing...if you know me, you know, but my livejournal name is something only my intimates know and use. But there is a lot of stuff that is too personal to post.
Yeah, but if I do that, I never see them anyway. Might as well just bookmark, in that case.
If the groups and communities came up on a separate page
I have a filter for that, but I never remember to update it but once in a blue moon.
Betsy and others who tend to friend whatever they're interested in reading, how do you keep up?
I read very quickly.

Yes, the only advantages are that you retain posting access, and they're still listed on your profile page.
There are a couple of people who I know IRL that never friended me.
Hmmm, I don't think I have you friended, but don't take it personally. I'm just lazy about maintaining my lists and forget how to do it. I think I spent about a half hour on it when I first got started and that's about it. I should probably prune and add and stuff but I can't be arsed.
Speaking of LJ, does someone (Cindy?) really have a LJ-->buffista list out there? Because I could really use something like that.
Cindy, would you mind zapping it to me as well? I'm zonewombat on LJ, FTR.
Can I nudge the LJ conversation on a quick tangent? I just logged into Friendster, after not going there for a couple years (because I'd finally had enough of their emails telling me how great they are now). Does anyone here use Friendster for anything? I don't mind having an account there, but I'm not sure what it's for.
