I believe the friends maximum is defined as (Level * 5) + 250

as far as I'm aware/remember you unlock more friend slots with steam levels.
Never paid much attention to those silly unlocks when crafting badges

I prefer keeping it below 50, then SG happened and now i try and keep it below 100. Never understood collecting friends.

Or, just like me, you don't have the heart to remove them even though you don't talk to them.

I tend to make an activity feed post giving fair warning. I am lazy about it and can wait a solid year before sorting it, but i can't live with 100 people, I tend to look and struggle to find who I want to talk to, or worse get spam messages from people I don't have time to respond to. Then I feel really bad for not replying, so I spend 99% of my time trying to talk to EVERYONE.
Sometimes I like to remind people, its fun to chat and stuff, but it is primarily a gaming platform. I am on Steam to play games first of all, I'm glad I made friends through steam, i like having the occasional chat. Sometimes though I have met people who demand more attention than you can give.
That goes for double when skype becomes involved...SadisticChicken looking at you pal...;)

I feel bad just straight up dropping them, but i like to make some notice that i want to clear things up. Some people just like seeing screenshots and stuff on activity feed so i feel bad if the quiet people who like that get removed. So i let them tell me if thats what they want.

Just checked and seems like I'm living on the edge here. Currently got 97 people on my friends list.
(Usually it's lower; just added a bunch of people for a Secret Santa type of deal though)

Haha! :3 I got to like 90+ last year and got so annoyed. I couldn't find anyone, I could never tell if anyone was online or offline and I spent more time in chat than on games!

Probably because they do a lot of trading on ST that it's nowhere near about 'collecting' friends. Honestly, I don't see a point of having so many people but I'm sure there are various reasons.

More than once someone has complained that I removed them as a friend, despite never talking ever, they have 500+ friends usually. I try and give people fair warning when I remove them, I'll ask if people want to stay in an open post, i'll talk to them specifically if they want. Lets be realistic here, not as a trader I'm not going to be able to give 650 people the attention they deserve. I doubt I'll give 650 the trades they deserve!
Each to their own though, if people like it then they can do what they like, its a little annoying when people get annoyed at you for not allowing yourself to be a number but I understand.

O h . . . .
(mostly, I just thought Reading just had a bunch of unnecessary people reached the limit from trading)
Apparently I have 135. I try to keep my number down. 12 are from trading.. I must purge soon.
At least 60-75 are people I've relatively known in some way except for this guy... I don't know who he is!!

(I guess the rest are people I've played games with in the past or know from somewhere else. I guess about 10% are from trading that I will remove soon except for some that asked to stay)

This is why I love the feature to give a second nickname to your friends
on your friend list, I usually give nicknames to the people I add just for
achievements on specific game or the people Idk
and the best part about it, is that it helps you remember whos that
faggot that changes the nickname everysingle second xD

heh, yes. too many people change their name a ton. plus it's nice to use it as a note for whatever reason as an "alias" if it helps. sometimes I put what I traded for someone as the alias.

Friends 56 / 425
I'm really not good at this whole friend thing apparently, lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah. If anything you're not good at the whole friends list thing, which is something else entirely.

You get 250 friend slots by default and 5 for every level if I'm not mistaken.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have like 545 friends, and keep hitting my max, I'm just too lazy to go through and clean them out.. I tired a few weeks ago, but seemed like it was taking forever and I have too much stuff on my plate to finish up..

Well, another possibility could be a loss of 8 levels then. But i guess, you would have noticed that?
(Also, 8 levels are a lot of exp ... that would dig up more questions than answers i guess ^^)

Friends 390 / 405. Craft more badges if you need more space in your friendlist.

I think pending requests count toward the total. Do you have any incoming or outgoing friend requests that have not been approved or declined?
Otherwise probably just Steam being broken to let you exceed the limit :P
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it's not 250 + 5*level, because my limit would be 650 then. I'm level 80 and my max limit is 700 (I only have 473 friends though). :P
Comment has been collapsed.
It's probably because the Facebook link no longer gives the 50 slot addition, or you unlinked your Facebook account.
Also, you had almost 700 (>690) friends before the trim.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's probably it.
My fb account was disconnected last time I checked.

Leveling up my Steam account remains something foreign to my psychology.
Comment has been collapsed.
yep last time I checked I had 650 spaces and I've levelled maybe twice after that just checked and max for me is 520 now
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything alright here: level 55, 525 slots. I never linked Facebook... just because I don't have an account (not that I'd link it anyway) :3

Just noticed this since someone said that they can't add me, and here's why:
Last time I checked, my max should be at 690. Now it's at 650. Anyone having the same problem?
EDIT: Since everyone was saying that the base is at 250 + 5*level, does that mean it was a bug when I had 690 maximum before?
I mean, how can you explain that I went over the maximum if it isn't lowered?
SOLUTION: Unlinking the Facebook steam link from your account will remove the additional friend slots (which is +50), and my link was apparently removed for some reason (and I didn't know that there was a certain bonus for that either). Thank you very much for your comments, especially from PlyrStar93 and SolidSnake3133 which led to the solution! :)
