The member list stretches to lots of pages which include people who haven't stayed. Can it be purged?
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Well, I suppose we could delete all members who haven't posted but then we'd have less members and if they did decide to join in they'd have to register again.
Does it bother you? ![[Image: cinjin_banner_border.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=oggtheclever.com%2Fcinjin_banner_border.jpg) (June 13, 2009 at 6:55 pm)Darwinian Wrote: Well, I suppose we could delete all members who haven't posted but then we'd have less members and if they did decide to join in they'd have to register again. Does it bother me? Well I just thought it was worth considering. Let me ask you, do you prefer loads of " ghost " members?

I'll have a chat with the others and see what they say..
The general feeling is that purging the member list would not be beneficial to the forum as a whole.
There are two main reason for this. The first is that the member count gives a certain impression of the health of the forum, lowering this may discourage others from joining. Secondly, many members may join but not contribute for some period of time but still visit periodically. If they where to be purged and their account deleted they may well not bother registering again when they are ready to participate. As has also been suggested, there are some good search and filtering options on the member list page which can place all non-contributers at the bottom, if you so wish. But thanks for the suggestion. Additionaly.. Quote:Just read your last posting...are you " bored " by my last question about membership list... Certainly not, I found your post actually gave me a little lift from the boredom that I was currently experiencing and I thank you for that..
