Title: Too many people
Post by Master of Everything 42 on Mar 12^th, 2008, 3:11pm

I think we should go, and delete all the users that have 10 or less posts,and havent logged on in over a month

because, i think the mass amounts of us will slow the website, and the computer i am using is slow enough already.

today i saw ~11000 members, and i bet only 500 of those should reman, because they actually use this

just thinking about more spring cleaning

I can't tell whether you're joking. (No offense if you're not.)

But yes, there have been hundreds of new members in the last couple days with 0 posts. It might be wise to just delete all members with 0 posts, especially since membership isn't required to read the forums anymore.

I used to be a member and administrator to a forum called Lupin's Moon, until the guy who created it stopped paying for it to be hosted...

Once a year we would go through and clean up the members list, taking out anyone who had fewer than 10 posts who hadn't posted in 3 months. It helped keep the numbers down and give people a better idea of what the forum was really like.

As I have been sitting here on my computer trying simultaneously to complete and avoid my first lab report, I have been watching the member count... in the past 6 hours, the count has gone up 12 people...

In fact, today (since midnight my time anyway) there have been 26 people sign up.

Yeah, there was an earlier thread (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_general;action=display;num=1190245178;) about this phenomenon.

I see... I don't know a whole lot about bots, but it seems they are back...
