That means:
217 members that paid no visit at all
1525 members with last visit 2006
etc.
What's that place? The Natural History Museum? Anybody seen a Brontosaurus? :think

obviously some anxiety is present. this subject has come up many times already.
having an open forum helps keep sources alive.
any specific area that needs to be addressed? :think
perhaps an automatic deletion if a user has been inactive for some time with out a post. (a year maybe)

i for one don't pay leechers to much attention, but it would be nice to have more participation.

Folks, I don't talk about posts. People may or may not make a contribution as they like. I'm talking about visits. We have hundreds of members who registered and never had a look on the board! And thousands of members who did not visit the board for years! I think one or two years without visit should be enough to delete someone. He can register again anyway, if he just had to serve a term in jail... :cool

Some people may have registered accidently just to learn that they are able to lurk without signing in. They may be in fact very busy lurkers LOL


:dance Great to know that any people not signed in for a while are serving... LOL

Chill out, it was meant as an example. I know very well there are many possible reasons. Couldn't check in from November 07 'til February 08 myself. Not imprisoned, but hospitalized after a heart stroke. :bat_angel
