What's the point of a member count if it isn't accurate? I've just deleted a little under 150 accounts which were created over 30 days ago and have 0 posts. This is so we can have a more realistic view of activity. If you were one of the accounts deleted and intended to post, then sorry but you'll need to reregister  |

Wow about half the members here. I guess that they were after the codes only. How sad   |

I'm pretty sure this kind of thing happens in all forums where people join, but never post. This forum is better off to have them deleted. |

I'm sure it's something we all have to do. Some sites more regularly than others. Wow about half the members here. I guess that they were after the codes only. How sad In response to this: I only joined up here (to be perfectly honest) to get my PM bar code fixed. I did have intentions of posting opnce signing up mind you. But that was the incentive that made me register. Also I like the fact that the admin has a similar (as far as I can tell) fondness towards Red Dwarf. And by fondness I mean fanatacism. Anyway. Keeping on track here. err....what was the statement? =P Ah yes. All sites do this. Including my own. 0 post members are seriously annoying. I have a 7 day no post delteion policy on my board to help combat this problem. Perhaps a similar idea needs to be implemented here? |

Perhaps a similar idea needs to be implemented here? for me, i give them 2 weeks. the only exception i make if if they pm me with a good reason as to why they can't/don't come on. the most amount i ever had to delete was about 30-40, this was like maybe 4-5 months ago. also, i agree that 0-post members should be deleted every so ofen. |

I have a few who just come and read--however I found this out the hard way cuz I deleted them and they sent me a nasty Email  so I told them they could reregister and I'd let them-- ;D one isnt compfortable posting yet-- So altho I now have my MB to where I gotta accept them 1st. But its really for close friends. |

I'll try to make this a thing that I do at the start of every month. I guess a lot of them joined to access the code database, but now it's open to guests that isn't necessary anymore |
