Hi everyone. I was going to clean up our membership database to get rid of those who have registered but used that registration to log on to a forum.

From looking at these members I can see that the vast majority of them are spammers that have registered but not followed up with spam. (Scratching my head on that one.)

But it it appears that there are a lot of people who have gone through the effort to successfully register but not only have never posted but have not logged in.

I can understand registering but not posting (by doing that the system can keep track for you of what posts you've read). However, I'm not sure why you wouldn't follow up by at least logging on.

So sometime over the next week I'll be purging all users who have not logged on since I can't easily distinguish between valid users and spammers.

So if you are a valid user or a spammer who wants to hang on to their registration you will need to log on at least once to this forum. Unless something happens I will go ahead and delete the unused accounts sometime this coming Friday.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Steve

Thanks, I am new so I will be more reading than posting.

I always read but hardly ever post. Thanks

Read only is good. I've gone for months without posting myself. On the flip side we've had several members who have over thousands of posts - and I'm not exaggerating.

If you've never logged on then please do. You don't need to post. That just helps me to know that a real person is on the other side of that registration.

Thanks so much.

Steve

Still here. I find my logging comes and goes in waves. I was hoping4acure, but my email had changed.... so there is one you can remove.

I have my page bookmarked so I am (almost) always logged on.
