| 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 :) |

| 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. |
