Maybe anybody who hasn't visited the forums in a month or more... =/ I recommend doing it manually (if you do it), as you know about the crisis at VNBlab, KK. xD

You only have to look at all the members who have made three posts and then left, or even at the many people who haven't even posted yet but haven't visited the site in months. A good idea, but I agree, it should be done manually.

Luckily, I had just gotten 1500 posts two days before! and IMO, it should delete all members who haven't visited the forums in a month or more.

We dun need to know which members are active, we need to delete the members that we know AREN'T, IMO. I'll say it again, members that haven't been here in a month should be considered inactive. Nao whar are kk and zeph?

What if someone suddenly decided to come back, only to find that their account had been deleted? Besides, members don't take up that much space or anything. If anything, they're bragging rights. :P

I think we should do it.I think all of the members who have joined should be active... joining our ideas together, perhaps prune members that have 0 posts and have not come on in the past month. It would only, let's see... 50 members? xD EDIT: Actually, it would delete 81 members... about.... well, that's how many people have 0 posts. I counted. xD

Posts: 624 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: August 20, 2006 Gender Female	I was about to do it at a time, but then I realized if it was based on post count it would delete some of the new members who've just joined. D: I guess I could do it manually. I agree with Zephyr in a way, but I also think it's sort of pointless having all of them just sitting there. v-v; Hmmz I'll think about it. XD

Posts: 90 Group: Member Member #521 Joined: July 13, 2007	I think (but then again, no one cares. =P) that you should do the prune for people that have around 4- posts and haven't been here in a month, or longer. And I think you should do it manually, to avoid any possible mistakes. I agree with Zephyr, but... I like clean forums, because I'm picky. But, like Krona said, members just sorta sit there. Heh, I've joined and never posted (or posted a small amount) then left forums before... Only because I join too many. -o-' If I was an admin, I dunno what to do. I'd probably just deleted them manually from the start. -o-

/Eyeson~theSky\ Posts: 701 Group: MC Moderator Member #12 Joined: August 24, 2006 Gender Female	Hmm. The matter might have already been decided, but if I can still add my opinion... maybe just members that haven't posted at all and haven't been on for a few months. That'll still get rid of a bunch, and chances are they weren't planning on coming back, anyway. If you do decide on doing a prune. Do it manually, though. xD
