Default Member Clean Up

Good evening,

For those who are observant, you will notice that there are now some 19,000 less members than there were earlier in the evening.

As part of our changes for 2010, we have purged all the inactive users (with zero posts) that have been inactive beyond a defined period of time.

As well as removing excess data from the database, this will also free up a number of user names (including some good ones) that had previously been in use. Those wanting a change to one of those names should first check in the member list if it is available and then make the request in the user name change thread.

As a matter of interest our total registration count is about 80,000 currently but the purges have kept the numbers down to active user counts of about half that number.

Cheers
Russ

G'day Russ, funny you should mention the good user names that now might be available. A couple of nights ago a was looking for a new one, seeing I wasn't very creative all those years ago when I registered. I did notice a fair few "good" names taken but the user never posted and / or hadn't been on for years. I think it's a great move to have a tidy up. Well done. Now wondering should I change again? lol nah.. I'm happy and pretty lucky to get what I've got, and it suits my collection

Cheers
Mark
