Another reason you probably dont see them is because only admins can see invisible users.

Ok, this is absurd...

1.  and most importantl---> It's not hurting anybody
2.  Why are you *****ing about members who don't post!? :wtf: Think about it...
3.  No one is going to go anywhere so...
4.  If you do a search, very many, newbs were flamed... (I remember Ant Thrax)  But that's the worst I remember.  If you felt unwelcomed, then under anger made a scene or not, would you come back?
5.  Stop posting peeves, there more annoying than the actual, problem and/or over exaggeration...

Someone close this stupid thread...

I think instead numerous kicking a feature should be implemented in the forum:

Hide 0-posters.

Another option could be:

Hide lurkers.

I remember I posted on one forum and asked a simple question. They disected my post like crazy. Made me not want to post anymore.

I still lurk there, though. I think I have a post count of 4.

I remember one of my threads I first posted here, I was accused of advertising spybot :nervous:
I can still find it too... But it didn't bother me 'that" much, untill they spamed/damned that Topic to hell :D

Do you know how hard it is :rolleyes: to look for someone in the members section, I've got to go through 2 pages sometimes, can you believe that.



Isn't that what I said? :rollseyes:


And tell me this: why NOT get rid of them? They haven't ever posted in forever. Most of the people here are using examples where they registered on a forum and posted a question once: these guys haven't posted at all. Why NOT just get rid of them? What's it gonna hurt if you delete a guy that registered a year ago and never posted once?

Not to mention it would more easily allow us to see exactly how many people actually participate in the FS2 community.

Ahhhh so now we are having an argument on 0 posters huh? Maybe the reason they haven't posted is because they know eventually someones gonna make a thread that puts them in the center of attention. At least thats whay I would think. :p

But really folks is it that big of deal? What should be done is that every new member we spot should be given a warm welcome when they first get on. By use of PM's. That way we wouldn't have as much 0 posters at all.

Forget about them nothing can be done they are lost in the void which is my blackhole. :p  I'm talking about every new member that pops up.

Doesn't make difference.
How come none of the Admins posted here?

I already announced my retirement twice, yet here I am. If I bring up that topic again, don't believe a word.

If they've only been here for several months it'll take some time for new users to sink in and use the SCP. :nod:
