    Should we eliminate the accounts of members here that signed up in year 2002 that have not posted anything. There are literally thousands. I paged through 200 pages of members and 99% of those were members that signed up in April 2002 and were last seen December 31 1969. I guess the real question is should we eliminate accounts after being inactive for a certain period of time?

    Based on; Are any of their posts solid contributions, such as guides?

    No. Otherwise, how is Zeropaid going to boast about having 1,000,000,000,000,000 members?

    It should be based on activity. If these members are active, even with no posts, they should NOT be deleted. As many of you well know, most people only sign up to get rid of the ads that clutter up the boards when one is not a member.


    BTW, there are some really smart spammers out there. Make a bot that cruises all over the net looking for boards with weak sign up precautions, let it sign up accounts for years and years all over the place. Then one day set up a website with tons of pop ups and such and then activate all those millions of accounts with spam links to your set up site. A cool couple of million dollars racked up in no time!!!!

    check for yourself that 95% of these members signed up between april 23, 2002 and april 25, 2002. that is 250000 members signed up in 3 days and have not posted anything.

    If they have not posted or signed in since signing up should be deleted

    250000 in 3 days????? Was this some sorta members transfers from the old site? I can't imagine the servers being able to handle that much traffic.

    Thats a whole LOT of work, even for a team of people. Weeding thru a quarter mill people is no easy task and will take a few weeks
