Title: Purge of Non-Posters

Some of you may have noticed that the board's total member count just dropped significantly, but no worries. ^_^ I've just removed every member that registered but never posted. I do NOT mean members with a post count of zero, because I know that people spend all their cash often and end up with 0 posts left for a while. Those people are safe! :p You'd be surprised to find out that 40% of the users that registered and validated never made a post!

I have made sure (using several tools in the admin panel) that the now deleted people never made a single post, OOC, IC, or otherwise AND that they hadn't logged in within the last 60 days. Accounts younger than 60 days were also spared, to give truly new members a chance to become active. It's something I researched daily for weeks, so I'm very certain about the results.

I didn't feel that we needed a lot of dead, never used accounts hanging around. Some of them were 3 years old and never used once! The stats look a lot nicer now, reflecting how many true posters we actually have. This also clears up a lot of usernames for people that might have wanted them before but they were occupied by a dead account, whatever. :D

Just thought everyone should know so that they don't get freaked out. :p

*Gawks in awe at Loth's smiting powahs*

Do. Not. Make. Her. Mad. XD

Anyways, it's good to know that the site's been cleaned up a little bit, and that more names are open to members who would want them for character, etc. Good call, Loth.

EDIT:

Nope! Looks like I'm safe.

:lol:! Nah, your account is new, it was safe. And guests can't post, so if you can log in / post anywhere, you're still registered. :p

Please re-read the first post. If they've ever posted, or if they've logged in / registered within the last 2 months, they are safe.

Go Lothy, Go Lothy, Yay. It was time and I am glad it has been done.

At least its down to all the active users now. Dead accounts lag up space. >.<

Keep up the good work, Loth!! *nod*

If only they would do the same thing with Battleon, then I could get gold on that too!!!

Sartana-kun - September 15, 2007 05:40 PM (GMT)
Do I really need to post here? :rolleyes:

Of course it was a good idea. Sheesh!

Zekhen - September 15, 2007 05:51 PM (GMT)
