it's bothered me today randomly. there is about 5 pages of users that joined but never posted once.

it may not bother you guys, but is there a way to make them active users like other people?

i'm not sure though, but likr deleting their user name if they don't post so many posts in a certain time frame or something?

How do you deal with people that have not posted in an extended period of time, for instance, about three weeks or so?

People like that have been around since the forum was open. On the old board, when I originally joined, there were members that joined the day it was made and never posted. :/ It's not really uncommon, but it's a reason registration cancelling for a forum is an option, IMO. :> (not one considerable for this board, since, lo and behold, we "value" new people) But an option available in its entirety to the owner of the forum. :O

Of course. If you're going out of town for a long period of time, that is certaintly understandable.

okat, now this makes alot more sense to me.

so I'm you don't use your account for 30 days it get deleted, but now another stupid question. what if...nevermind.

okay, what if you got out of town for a long period of time, but durring the time frame that you are gone, you come here for a day. Do you still have to say that I'm leaving in the welcome thread again, or just say I'm back when you get home?
