Non-posting members

I was looking at the members list and noticed that many of the members have not posted much. Many 0 or 1 times. I was wondering if the people in charge ever drop members if their account has become inactive for a long time.

I believe a while back when we moved to a new server, we dropped all members who had not posted in the past 6 months, as well as the vast majority of saved U2U messages more than 30 days old, in an attempt to streamline the board.

This is not a normal event, but not to be ruled out if the board needs to be slimmed down again.

Well, I used to post a few times a day...but I went away for a bit..hopefully I'm not dropped for being inactive, because I'm back!

DR is correct, I was searching for the relevant thread.

I'm also going to be removing users that have 0 posts, and have not been on the site in the past 60 days. So if you're a lurker and want to keep your profile... POST SOMETHING!

Thank you.

We had a better system than that in the past, every 6 months or so the board would crash and we would have to move to a new one. That solved the problem very well.

It's about time for another purge.

Although this time, I think we won't purge messages by age, but by the politically charged nature of the content... yeah, that's it.

.... about to join in the planned "TAKE BACK ATS" march.

Or maybe just views that don't coincide with yours? Yeah that's it! Then, everything will be good and safe and all those evil troublemakers will be gone...All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

I'm still trying to figure out if the "Take back ATS" thing is because of me bein's it started AFTER I got here...you guys are giving me a complex.
