Removing Old Members.
Given that we have a huge number of members, putting stress on the server, would it make sense to delete the accounts of utterly inactive users who have never logged in or made a post?
I don't mean lurkers, just people who haven't logged in since years ago.

Re: Removing Old Members.
Personally, I think that all 0-posters be deleted. It's been done before.

Re: Removing Old Members.
Well you know how fragile the server is anyway, and besides, it's always nice to clear out a load of rubbish.

Re: Removing Old Members.
Speaking of clearing out rubbish... - Turn off signatures altogether.
- Make it so you can't make threads until you've posted 50 times.
- Delete any mod that isn't compatible with the current build.
- Delete all negative posts.
- Ban people if they say the words:
- Stick it in her
- Over 9000
- Communist
- Cactus Fantastico
- Make the default font color puce.
All in el favour say "EieEyeEieEyeOh."

EieEyeEieEyeOh!
Except for the bit about signatures and saying the word communist, because I like well regulated sigs and I started a debate thread about communism.
Oh and also about negative posts. No flaming, but some people just need to know that they aren't the modding genius they think they are.

Re: Removing Old Members.
I agree with absolutely nothing up there - except for font colours. Good gods, if I see one more person post in an eye melting colour they may actualy will.
But on the topic of making topics, maybe a temporary removal could be put into effect - when a certain number of people hit the '!' button on a thread, it'll be automaticaly removed from the public eye to be examined more closely by moderators. That way problem threads can be removed faster, but still need approval by a mod.
