We appreciate your concern.
It is noted and stupid.

...you will have noticed I've pruned all users who registered before June, but never posted.

That was a very good idea! They can still watch the posts like the were probably doinng, and you got back some disk space

Take a peek on the frontpage, Mike... 205. :P

Perhaps you should do a similar prune at SFA? See how many you're left with!

So how long can we go without posting before we're pruned? I'm curious because over the summer, and possibly in the future, I may be gone for long periods of time.

I think CC can make the distinction between people who've registered and never posted, and someone who is denied internet access for a long period, such as the summer hols. 8)

Which is unfortunate, because if he couldn't, we'd have a fantastic opportunity to delete Monty!

While it is possible for me to prune users who haven't posted in X months, I don't do that by policy... I do do occasional prunes like this one where users who never posted are pruned. I do occasional prunes of people who have posted five or less posts and the last post date is a while ago.

If you're a regular poster here and tell CC you'll be gone for a while I doubt you would have anything to worry about.

Ummm, I'm a regular user here, don't prune me.

I bet if SFA "pruned" their users, they'd have about 10 less or more. Why people register and never post is beyond me, just makes more trouble for the Administrators.

Actually I just got through with that a month or so ago... We went from 500 users to 450. 50 users is a hell of a lot of duplicate accounts... Some of them were Excalbur, there must have been like 20 of those... I suppose with a database that big your bound to get that many dupes. But theres so many in there all ready, 50 users less wasn't a great deal less space. Hell, Tachy does 30 day prunes every other week and we've still got a steadily increasing message count...

Yes, why people insist on another registered handle is beyond me. :\

But 50..wow. I would have thought that 10 at the most, but 50 is a %$@! alot!
