there are so many people on there with no posts but have been registered for ages. Why not delete these and any other profiles that haven't been used in last couple of months?

to much time and effort

might as well put that effort into make rhe board gd for the members who use the board frequently - i dont think an empty profile even takes up a fraction of the server space - if it did then yea - might be worth it

yep, good idea, the current member count is about 2000 which is unrealistic. i will delete all the non active users (people who havent logged in within say the last 6 months).

its crucial we reflect a true member count, and not enter some silly numbers game

having said that we have email addresses for these people and we should email them the newsletter perdiodically (if they have requested it)

Good idea i think .

You could keep their passwords ect if you like .

The other figure should sound a lot truer !

Point - i'd be well gutted if after 6 months i came back, tried to log in and my profile had been deleted, what about if you were to go away for 6 months and couldnt access the web?

A more practical exercise would be to gain information from users who have logged in for the last 12 months, leave the unused profiles intact, and gain information from the 'live users'?

just a thought?

or possibly, once you have discovered who has not posted logged in, in the last 6 to 12 months & send them an email, asking if they would like their account kept or removed, bit time consumming I know but im sure peeps would help!!!

In a skip somewhere near u
id suggest deleting members that have not been active for up to 6 months..its obvious they are not active users/contributors..and if they wish to rejoin in the future they can simply get there old names back....

Its the only real way of keeping up to date on active members

yes but thats lurking & that naughty!!! I think up to 8months of no activity & they should be sent an email asking if all is ok & that we notice the account not being used, would they like to remain members or be deleted so to speak & as said already, if they wanna come back it aint hard to join is it!!!

back on topic:

if your really bothered about the members who have not posted messing up statistics then just specify to exclude those members when producing stats. its bloody easy to do in SQL

plus as james said - think about the e-mails

why delete something that isnt actually causing a problem?

the likes of BeBe makes me laugh - very little posts but thousands of PM's

so yea it would wise to make sure that the member is completly inactive and not just PM'in etc

So ... what exactly does "deleting" or "deactivating" an account mean if you still keep the name & password?

I think on looking it is blatantly obvious of the peeps registered who have never used their account to those that have!!!! & by this it makes it easy to decide where can be deleted!!!

beat me too it lou!!! Im sure peeps wont be too cross, I mean crikey I had no end of probs with gurn & an account & I just simply opened another, not hard It is after all only a message board & not a vital part of life, that peeps are gonna fret over the fact their account has been closed, knowing how simple it is to join again!!

also, maybe James could add on the terms condituions, that if account is not used for 6 months it will be closed, but you can always re-register!!

This has gone off at a peculiar tangent.

The question isn't really "why not delete inactive accounts?"
The question is "how are we going to deal with the members list not reflecting the active members"?

It's not as if there is a storage problem (each account must use a negligible amount of space!)

The logical answer, to me, is (by default) to only list those members active within the last X months (and maybe have a user-selectable option, as with the threads - e.g. only show users active within the last 3 months).

S'pose you could delete them after a long time, but 6 months doesn't seem that long to me. And ... what does that achieve?

ok, well how about having active, and non-active users.... active users being those who have logged in in the last x months, and maybe just having a list of them, and basing the count on them.

If an non-active user happens to remember their log in details, and logs in, then they get added to the active users list.

ahhh... I see someone already suggested what I said above, although the main problems are :-
