There are like 20/30 members on the first page of member list who have no posts.

I'm not a admin so cant do anything lol.
Just advising that its taking up so much space that could be used elsewhere. Like downgrading the server so cyber saves money.

Don't mean to sound like im bossing you admins/global mods (i'm a lowly local mod lol) around but its a fact.

Who agrees?

i think all those useless crappy accounts should be deleted,thats what i would do if i were an admin,it helps clean up the site.anyone with like under a certain amount of posts and hasnt been on in a while it should be deleted,it certainly would help cyber save money cuz of bandwith and such.all those noobs cluttering up the server...

Nemesis · « **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2007, 05:02:55 PM »

most of the members on the member list dont even have 1 post so yeah i agree that they should be deleted

Reaper · « **Reply #4 on:** September 21, 2007, 06:50:28 PM »

do any of you want to individually click on thousands of users and click 3 links on each to delete them, some that are potentially just not posting although they are registered because they want to view the site?

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #5 on:** September 21, 2007, 07:16:35 PM »

good point reaper...but still,if they havent been on in more than a certain amount of time then bye bye member...

do you want to individually go to every members account and see when the last time they logged in was, and then do all that crap LMAO

also if there not using there account then they arnt using any bandwidth its only active members that use bandwidth. plus the site is a majority text which uses very little bandwidth so considering you usually buy bandwidth by the GB the it would make very little difference and just be a pain in the ass to do. also i think we dont even use all the bandwidth we currently have so there is no need to worry guys but thanks for your concern

try probably 4 times that number or more... there are really probably only around 500 'active' members on the site and really probably only some of them are regulars... besides remember some people don't spend all there time online, some people use this site as a reference but never really post anything, and some people have extenuating circumstances that prevent them from spending much time online...

just think how pissed would you be if you weren't active for a while (for whatever reason) and we deleted your account, then you finally get some time to spend online and you come here to log in and you find that your account had been deleted... you wouldn't be very happy would you?

that's why the accounts don't get deleted... besides the higher member count looks better... and it looked kinda pathetic when the member count was like 50 (like it was when I joined)...

but what makes it look bad is that most of out members are just guppys, and that makes it look like the website is uninteresting if 4k-ish people dont want to post

thats what i think too

wat! this is spam and chat. you're supposed to be spamming and chatting.

sup guys, this is like a 4 year bump.

GhoSt · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2011, 11:27:49 PM »

Just out of curiousity on this topic, the account ghost is taken by someone who has never logged in, would it be possibly for them to be deleted and my name changed to GhoSt?

Bonz · « **Reply #24 on:** March 03, 2011, 12:15:59 AM »

couldn't you do that?

GhoSt · « **Reply #25 on:** March 03, 2011, 12:50:00 AM »

nah mods have forum content control, we have no access to forum changes and don't have html privileges, only a few of the admins do.

@ ghost there is an option that should allow use to delete any profile that has not posted or activated thier account to free up the user name. I will look into that this weekend, for now, pm me the profile and I will take care of ths one for you.

802Chives · « **Reply #27 on:** March 03, 2011, 07:21:27 AM »

hahaha I love how the people 4 years ago agreeing with deleting innactive accounts were all like 13 at the time.... obviously not very in tune with how a successful forum operates. A forum is judged by the number of members, although active members has some bearing on that judgement, the overall number of people who have been interested enough in AM to sign up for an account is the big one.

If someone wants a name that has been taken we can see about deleting and letting an active member take it over if certain criteria are met. Like if that innactive account is over a year innactive with less the 3 posts with email notification of deletion?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #28 on:** March 03, 2011, 07:27:38 AM »

yea, i wouldnt delete anyone who has a post. just non posters and non activated, the forum maintnance software is set up to do such. but if they posted one time or activated thier account by email verification, I would have to manually delete them. dont matter to me though.

jrfhoutx · « **Reply #29 on:** March 03, 2011, 07:29:51 AM »

could always just rename them and send a PM to let them know they need to pick a new name, that way no need to delete them...

I never understood the 'don't bump old topics' mentality (though I understand it increases the topic count and makes the board appear more active), I mean really I'd rather have one long continuous topic about 1 thing than 20 small topics about the same thing, I mean really would you rather have a 10 page topic or 10 pages of 2 reply forum posts? but I digress, and since we're bumping a 4 year old topic anyway...

yes most of the members are guppys and that could make the forum appear less interesting than it is, who the hell besides you idiots is actually gonna go through 650 pages of a member list to see how many posts are made by members? No one... If anyone even cares they're going to look at the number of members (not the brakdown of how many of them post and how often), more than anything they'll take a look at the general statistics page and no where on that page does it break down the member groups...
