    Hey, Karen and Paul, would it be a big job....

    ... to dump all the members with "last activity" years ago? I just tried clicking on a few members' profile who has a birthday today - some has one post, and it was posted in 2002. I don't think they are likely to come back.

    I'm pretty sure there is a feature on vBulletin forums where you can search for members based on last activity, then delete them. Some other forums have that feature, anyways lol.

    Deleting non active accounts is common with photosharing sites etc. I think the main point of them is to free up possible sign in names for active users though.

    I don't know about this. Look in introductions at the thread - Who is Dragon Fire? This person joined in 2001 and recently found us again and has even changed their name to Skyfire and is actively posting again.

    I've searched profile names that have ZERO posts. Now those might be worth deleting.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    We do periodically delete folks who have been members but never posted, after a period of time. If they do have a post, we leave them, just in case they want to come back, as "Skyfire" did, and so deleting those old posst doesn't cause confusion within existing threads.

    Thanks for your reply, Karen.

    I suggested it mainly because new members may want a username that is taken by a member who has ONE post and not having been active for 5-8 years - Dorothy29 does not fit this, she has lots of posts.
