Default OT: 83 Pages

82 pages x 25 listings per page = 2050 members who have never posted.

There is nearly 83 pages of members who have never posted once even once on the forum. I have not counted the pages that have only 1 post by members, but I am sure it is quite high.

This is not an astonishing number, but it is high. I wonder why Shrapnel has not deleted those accounts that have never been posted too that are over a year old? I know that I would just to clean up the Member list.

Some people lurk, you'd have to see if they had logged in in over a year, I would think.

As I both lurk alot and have been know to vanish off the face of the internet for months on end I'm pleased that Shrapnel don't wipe accounts

Besides how much space and time does it take to keep an empty account running? So close to nothing that it may as well be is my guess

I have only read the forum for a very long time. There can be plenty of reason not to post : foreigner with little english (like me), all question already answered and little curiosity, lack of time, ...

Yeah as long as we have the space, I doubt we will want to purge those accounts. Some people do indeed lurk and may never post, some people lurk and may at some time decide to post, while some people lurk for a while and never come back. However we don't want to make anyone feel unwelcomed whether they post a ton or just lurk. I think you will find that this happens on a lot of boards unless they do regular purges of non-posting accounts and I just don't anticipate us doing that anytime soon.

I, myself, am a lurker and a massive poster it just depends on the board and what I am there for.

I donno.. I posted a few times on the Starfury forum and then left my account here idle for a long, long time, rarely even logging into it. In fact, it may have even been a year or more.. I only really started posting again after the forums flipped right way around.

I'm still pretty new here. I read mostly and when I have time I'll try and post. But reading is faster and less time consuming when you have assignments (even though what is less time consuming is not reading at all ).
I'm still waiting to see when I get promoted from private to corporal.

IIRC, 7 more posts, when you hit 50.

--edit: Heh, oops, that should have been 8, when you hit 50... but this list says it rolls over at 51... time will tell.
