138 supposed 'members' have never made a post to the HL boards. Also 318 more members have not made a post this year.

This is our of a total 951 members so almost half of this comunity is not active.

1/3rd

I keep saying they should delete the inactives but no-one ever listens.

[RandomTiger]

138 + 318 = 456 = 48% of 951

The 318 have posted, just not his year.

(not to go off topic but why were those taken anyways?)

[Whitelight]

One reason I can think of is that some of them can`t remember there passwords:wtf: It`s as good as any explanation I guess, or erm:nervous:

[Zeronet]

No, they register but never get around to doing anything and loose interest.

[JR2000Z]

Or they forgot the URL.

[Carl]

i will bring this up in the staff forum.

[Grey Wolf]

Or the first is an error-riddle one where they send the password (using the old made-up password system) to a email account which was mine minus one of the T's.....

[Ulundel]

Or they register because they have nothing better to do.

[Knight Templar]

my friend registered but doesn't post because he "forgets" or "doesn't have anything to say"

[Fineus]

Keep in mind that going through and clearing every account that's not posted or not posted in the last year is a fair bit of trawling to do...

[Knight Templar]

no no thunder, have one of your lackys do it. you know like styxx or uh Sandwhich.

[Fineus]

They're their own lackys - not mine (heh, though I wish ) but I was just pointing it out, it's a fair bit of work for anyone on a 56K... like me

Actually, it would be fairly easy via a well-crafted SQL command. Something along the lines of:

Code: [Select]

[size=3]DELETE * FROM users WHERE users.postcount='0' AND
 users.registered_date < '{unix timestamp equivalent of, say, Sept 1, 2001}'[/size]

...or something like that - Styxx will probably me for that makeshift code.

Of course, all the relevant tables will have to be checked and re-checked for cross-references, and it's the kind of thing that should be thoroughly tested on a testbed vB copy at home. But it could be done.

yeah, I thinks thats more like it, 3dap.com/hlp is a relly big URL

[Redfang]

Yeah, I think that if you haven't made a post for year you should be deleted...
 
I don't think that anyone will be gone for year and then coming back.

[RandomTiger]

You might want to check on the last time a 'unactive user' sent a private message before deleting them.

Why do you think my post count is so low? and yet Ive been here one month after this place opened... Ive been gone for at least a year before... If this makes any sense, well, you think on a level different from me

wait, I thought this place was 2 years old. oops then forget what I said up there
I need more sleep
