I just noticed that StangFix membership is about to reach 600 and celebrate its 2nd anniversary. Impressive for a community of reprobates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
2 years and I have only been on here 95 days.......this will prove to the wife I am not ale=ways on here. :)



Wait.....then she might think I am on other sites....I will just not say anything and let her think as she will. :vic

How much inactivity sends you to the recycling bin?


Probably better answered by Steve or Sluggo, but as I understand it "recycling" inactive members only occurs when there is a major forum software update.... of which we haven't had a lot of. I believe there was only one, maybe two "recycling" events. Inactive members are usually categorized as registered users with 1 or less posts. For regular members/posters who simply space out and don't post for a few months, you have no worries.

Having been "thrown out" on more than one occasion... I have to admit that I deserved it every time.

You pretty much nailed it, Dave. We very rarely do cleanups. We haven't done one in a very long while. But it's not related to forum updates, as much as it's related to whenever sluggo wants to do it :) He just happens to think about it when we have major updates. Correlation vs. Causation sorta argument.

I have, in the past, done counts of "Active" memebers, where a member had to have made a post in the past 6 months to be considered "Active" but these we just for unofficial activity counts, and not used for user deletion. If someone makes enough posts around here, we won't want to delete them, even if they haven't made one in a while, because if you do so, all their old posts will be attributed to "Guest" and that makes it difficult to search, and looks crappy when you go back in the forum history.

Were it up to me, once an account was created, it'd never be deleted, even if the user specifically asked us to...if you don't want it logged forever on the internets, don't say it. However, that's JMO, and this is Sluggo's boat, so when he tells me to do something, I'll explain my objection to him, and if he tells me he still wants to do it that way, I don't argue at all.
