I think all of the old members, under 10 posts and havent signed on in 12 months should all be deleted, i just went through the members real quick and it seems like a lot of wasted space and some good names taken that arent used

i dont know how much space these take up but if its even a little bit significant i'd think it'd be worth it to remove them

I agree. I'm not sure how the system works, but it does seem like a waste of space we could drop. My 2 cents.

If it were to be done, Ben would have to do it by hand, one at a time. In vBulletin (V 2.2.6 at least) you can't mass prune or mass delete members. I don't know if version 2.2.9 is any different..

well there are abt 6000 members. I think only 1000 are actually active. If he were to delete 10 a day he would finish in 1.36 years:huh still a good idea though

i think Leo told me one time they were going to delete all names that hadnt logged on in _ months, i dont know if he ever did or not or maybe im wrong but it needs to be done again

Some boards won't delete any accounts.
They just ban IPs that way they can still say "My board has XXX Members"
Alot like post counts.. whoever has the most wins right?

Although this board doesn't seem to need a head count to keep growing.

We have many members who are registered, and enjoy the benefits of being an EXriders member (including discounts from C&D Racing), who post very seldomly. Whenever a thread about deleting people who don't post much comes up I get about 25-35 emails from silent members who ask me not to do this. So it is not a possibility. If you would like a name that someone has who hasn't posted much, let me know and I'll see if they are interested in letting the name go. :)
