Re: Actually for Percy/Admin's attention
Hi, Moose. So what happened to the effort to clear the member list of inactive names? As an example, in the first page alone, we have
1) aabbey, which has a link to a page no longer operational.
2)AaronM- no activity for over a year.
3) abbeyj-no apparant activity
4)abdhamed-although I would give him another few months...Egypt is a long way off.
5)abe-no activity
6)absolutelycatholic--and absolutely no activity forever!
etc...etc...you get the idea. Why not get rid of them?

Re: Deleting Old Members With Zero Posts
This is the message that I get:You are not authorized to update search dictionary files:
Phatboy: This function requires director level permissions
AdminPhat: This function requires director level permissions
If I can do it, I will sweep through and clean up the members list. Tell me how to do so.

Re: Member Pruning Now
Go for it, Boss! I never did like clutter! Ohnhais idea seems good too, though. As far as the alias thing goes, is there any way to delete an alias name without deleting the alias postings? Wouldnt the postings simply remain with the primary name?

Per the Frog's reasons, perhaps it would be a good thing, to delete all zero message members, over, say, "1 month old".
After all, lurking doesn't require registration.
Do you still feel this way now in 2008? (Personally I say that we give everyone a year grace period.)
Edited by Phat, : added features
