Forum Membership Purge
«

March 14, 2017, 11:13:45 AM »
As we approach 20,000 registered members, it is time to do some house cleaning. Although the numbers looks QUITE impressive, they are not a true representation of GTA Forums. We are here and stay here because of you, the ACTIVE members. We would rather see 100 active members than a million inactive. Those do nothing to improve the forum, you folks do. We are going to be doing a membership purge this week. What we will eliminate are the folks that register and never logged back in. And only those that are over 1 year without logging in.
Just so you know when you look at the numbers, you will understand why.
THANKS to all of you for making and keeping GTA the best airgun forum on the internet!!!!
And as always....
SAFE & Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

Just did phase 1 of the cleanup. I took out all members that registered OVER a year ago but according to the software have not even logged in, ever. And of course have zero post count. If you haven't even logged onto the forum your account is totally useless.
This kinda surprised me that it only eliminated 2460 accounts. I will next be looking at those that have zero posts but have logged on but has been over 1 year. This batch can get into some issues if folks suddenly decide to log back in. But they don't have access to much of the forum without at least the introduction post.
So again, there may be no loss by purging these too.
Will see.
We will just have to delay the announcement of reaching 20,000 registered members.

Just my usual lame and unwanted 2 cents here, but if they have 0 posts and haven't logged onto the forum in a year or more, they probably aren't going to any time soon.

I think you are being fair about it. If that were the case with me it would not surprise me that a sign in would not have results. Would just register again with no complaints. Was a member of the old forum but that does not show on this new one.

I would say over 2k is a good start,I'm guessing some may just read here and may not post ever. I see a huge participation here compared to other forums though. I don't post as often anymore but always enjoy reading new stuff on the daily.
