Jay J raised an interesting point when he stated that this mesageboard has around 800 registered members however the reality is that over half of these registered members have never posted and most if not all I beleive are never likely to.

What I propose is that all registered members whom have never posted should have their profiles erased to give a truer reflection of the actual number of members who reside on this board. I know that I have mentioned this before but I think it is pointless maintaining membership profiles for people whom have not and will not post on this board.

Just a small suggestion for your consideration as I know this area has been quiet for some time.

Hi Robbie,

I tend to agree. I'll be looking into a way to do this. I know the mods have discussed this before. I think it's something we should finally consider.

Hi Kevin

I am glad that this is going to be implemented well at least considered are there any plans to do anything with members whom only posted once or twice about 1-2 years ago as they are likely never to return.

There seems to be, two identical threads going here,
this one and
New Members, making a posting,
Can we not bring the two together?
I mentioned on the other post,
whilst membership of this site is free, you are
always going to get, people registering and that's all!!
I still think, that there must be a compromise!!
After a spell, non subscribers need to be evaluated, for the total
benefit of us all!

Now that you mention it, maybe that is something that should change . . . ^_^ .

How else is Kevin going to pay my pension, and those of the rest of the Moderators? ;)

hi chester

Membership is currently at 890 but if members whom have never posted have their accounts deleted then that number drops to around 400 its a big drop but at least the statistics will then be a little more reflective of the board.

Robbie,

We hope to get together soon and discuss this issue. With time zones and busy schedules with our other lives, we haven't yet set a time to meet. We have the holiday coming up, and summer vacations and activities, well you how life can get in the way. Be advised that Kevin and the moderators are making this a top discussion when we do meet. Just bear with us. I know it's been a long time since this topic started, but we are just busy right now.

Cheers, Mike B)

Thnaks for that response, I look forward to seeing old inactive accounts dropped and to finding out how many members we actually have on this board.
