This is a message directed mostly to pete. I was scrolling through the members here on this forum. I am quite dismayed to find all the members with [glb]0[/glb] posts!! :-/ :o :-/ I would like to see either those numbers go up, or the members have thier membership terminated. And I don't mean to sound mad, but it really struck me.

Flyboy. I just spotted this. Hope you don't mind me butting in. I don't understand your objection. I used to visit many CFS & FS forums. Some forums require you to register to view the topics. The members you mention might find out what they came for & prefer not to contribute themselves.

The way I see it, that's their choice. I see no reason to terminate their membership. Everyone is welcome here. ;)

Hagar said it Exactly ;)

It also enables simviation to let more people know about any new developments by emailing forum members. I see zero harm in members with no posts.  8)

;D Dear Flyboy 28,
Some of us less experienced people sometimes find these forums a tad overwhelming to say the least.

Therefore, we as a minority we do not want to make a twit of ourselves by posting things we may consider trivial or pointless. However, your be pleased to know that I will now throw caution to the wind to apease your anger and post at least once a day.

It is not raining in London at the moment

Love Light & Peace

That little detail has not stopped many of us - we post anyway.


However, your be pleased to know that I will now throw caution to the wind to apease your anger and post at least once a day.

 Written like a true Simviationer!

Here's an example. The reason my display name can't be simply 'Andrew' is because there's already an account username using it. The account is over 2 and a half years and there aren't any posts at all. Why can't accounts like that be deleted? I'm sure after 2 and a half years the person has pretty much forgotten about SimV

Simply put - there is no option in YABB (this forum program) to do this.

If I had a specific request to remove an individual member I could do that but not ask the forum to search for non contributors over a certain time period.....

Isn't there a "remove idle member" tab in the Admin part? There is in other programs...
