I was nosying at the members list one day and noticed how many pages of 0 post members there are. Many too from ages ago.
It is just a little suggestion: perhaps those people destined never to post could be deleted or something to clean things out a bit? Or even a random message reminder (another board did these things, or I wouldn't even think it as an option). Obviously not those who very recently joined. It's not like something that absolutely must be done... but sometimes its nice to have that spring clean satisfaction. XD Yeah, probably a silly, pointless suggestion - sorry!; but I wanted to see what was thought anyway. :) |

And a lot of them are/were probably bots too! Hence the reason of so few posts.

That is a great idea. I just wish the boards had an auto prune feature. Don't log in within a year and goodbye account. Though as we have had long lost members return, I'm not sure about old dormant accounts that were once active. If done at all it's going to give the mod team something to mull over. And also it's something that dose not need to be done in a hurry, the accounts are not going anywhere :P .

I seem to remember this being suggested before and being rejected for some reason...

It had been done before though a while ago, way back when Brian (Red*Fox) was still an admin if anyone remembers that still. But yeah I should probably do so again, a lot of the accounts are likely bot accounts that never got round to posting.
In a way long dormant empty accounts don't really do any harm which is probably why I've not got round to 'pruning' as someone put it sooner. But I shall likely do something about that soon, not just now though as I've just seen the time and I'm running late for a train O_o *runs away* |
