Dropping Inactive Users

Any users that have not posted to the site should be dropped after a certain amount of time without a post. For example, if someone registered last October, but still has 0 posts, they arent really a member. It would be nice to see only active members included in the total number of members on the forum page.

This does happen, swamper does this every x months, but theres a large gap between deletion (as far as i no) until is done again because it takes so long!

Yeah i remember saying sommit about this on the IRC channel. I think it went a long the line of there is not a lot of point. It doesnt slow down the forum in anyway.

You will notice a lot of people have been deleted, as there the user id goes up to so many, and there are on x number of memebers.

But i imagine it will b done. It only really needs to b done oncea year, if that

but what's the benefit?

maybe you wanna do this to keep the database from getting oversized, but wouldn't they post meaningless stuff like "hehehe", "LOL", "me too" etc just to stay alive? that'd cause a bigger problem.

The part of the database that stores user info barely takes up 12 megs of space... It's not a space issue, and it doesn't hinder use of the forums whether you have 100 user records or 50,000.
