Um i believe some of the non active actives would be deleted then. like Romano and a couple others would have their accounts deleted. Is he unactive. I DONT THINK SO!

So i think that is a idea better left untouched

You must have at least 100 posts (fair enough? maybe 50 posts)

If I'm not a member, I can't get my posts counted (or can I?), so how would I be able to post at least 100 posts if I am not a member?

You must have written at least one review (optional qualification, maybe too harsh)

This will definitely kick me out of membership since I haven't written any reviews whatsoever.

Or maybe you are not allowed to download free games until you get 50 posts. If you are a guest, you get them for free, but if you choose membership, you have to show that you are serious by working to get 50 posts.

Honestly I'd rather be a guest then. After all guests can still post in a few sections of the forum. I'd rarely (almost never infact) post in those sections hidden only to members anyway.

I've been coming here for quite awhile..but just recently started posting a bit. Anyways..despite that..I don't see the point of removing inactive members. It doesn't slow the server down..it doesn't cause any harm at all really. So I don't see the point..and as others have said..possibility of removing "lurkers" is not worth the risk. They're members too..and though they may not post..they still are members.

I'm not even going to reply to Rabadi's post. If you have eyes, then you know the answer to that question.

I only pointed out that if I am not a member, I may not get my posts counted to 100. So, if I cannot get at least 100 posts, how can I become a member? :P

Do not turn this into a flame war!

You seem to be misunderstanding my point, guys. I have nothing against lurkers. They log in every once in a while and skim the board. Now, there are accounts which their owners just left to rot. Since the board can register the last time the user visited, it is pretty easy to identify accounts inactive for over 6 months and remove them.

I have to spell it out for Rabadi: If you choose to register for membership, than to keep that membership you must get at least 100 posts. If you have 73 posts and say, you don't post in 6 months, admins delete your account.

I mean come on, how can you be on vacation for 6 months? :bleh:

well, i'm a member for more than 6 months and i still don' t have 50 posts, so, i' m probably "out"

I agree only with in the question of deleting accounts "inactive" - this means: account created, member logged for the first time, member logged out and never returned. in all other cases, mantain the account.
