I was just looking at the members list and saw that there were quite a lot of people that had never posted. I was wondering whether deleting them would easy or helpful to the website?
I don't know much about how the forum work so it's just an idea that might mean less space is taken up. I think the deletions should happen to people who signed up in May last year and have never posted, possibly later than that, but again I am clueless about how easy/useful this is, just an idea.
Old, inactive members?
Re: Old, inactive members?
We have quite a few lurkers to this forum, who create an account simply so they can see what is written. Also, we have people who make accounts, forget about the forum, or don't have time to post, and then come back. Perfect example is Ulyyf, who made an account on these new forums right when it opened, and did not post until rather recently. I just see it as pointless, and if anything potentially harmful.adi_gallia wrote:I was just looking at the members list and saw that there were quite a lot of people that had never posted.

No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale.

Of course, using me as an example, I was a pretty active member before the move here. It's not the same as wanting to be randomuser1983, though it does make sense to just say "Not gonna bother" for everything.
There's only 1000 members here anyway, right? There's still plenty of available options for namesetting.

Independent thought, independent dreams, independent lives. It's a thing worth dying for.
