That's weeding out some memberships on here.  Those who register but never have logged in or maybe ones that not been here in over two years if they do not have much in the way of post counts ... I dunno but I will plug away on it as I go along.  I know there are several ones that were not really registering to be here for the sake of parrots and they never logged in at all after registering.

So... to anyone who may have got deleted out and you've finally came back here... just reigster again if that has happened!!

So, I have started the process of elimanation in the Member List... so if you have been deleted then it is because:

1.) You never logged in and have zero posts counts.

2.) You have very few post counts and have not been logged in within 360 to 720 days.

3.) A person does not have to post, but should at least be logging in now and then, otherwise if they don't then they would be deleted out. They'd then have to register again if they want to read on hidden forums or to post.

I do know of a few members on their pattern of being here so a few I know of remain for the time being but as time goes on and they have not been logged in, then they too eventually get deleted out.

I have always kept our Membership pruned and do not keep countless registered users just to make it look like we have a large membership, that means nothing to me and what is most important is to keep members in our list who frequent here by logging in... so if you come to the board and are registered but never log in to read then you would most likely be deleted.

4.) One of my new rules will be, if someone registers but does not log in after activation of approval within 7 days, then they will be deleted out.  Why would someone register then never log in?!!!  I use to follow that rule but got away from it but it will apply from here on in.

If you did get deleted out and want to be here to be active, then please just register yourself again but you must remain active by logging in often enough.

Thanks,

So you won't delete for lame parrot jokes?   

[Jan]

Nope, and we have a Humor forum as you probably know anyway!

You have been a busy bee! You want to come weed at my house too!

[Jan]

Yah, I can weed your rock lawn! Oh and you have to be very careful in the way you use the word weed!

I would also like to add that, in noticing after I have deleted out many, many members that they now show as a "guest" and in black text so if you see that through out the board, that is why because their account was deleted but their posts remain in tact which is good so at least things that were posted are still there.

The memberlist went from about 675 and so far is now down to 339 but is changing little by little because I am still deleting non-log ins and never log ins and members who have not been logged in on here after 365 days or more.  Only a few I am leaving because I do know their pattern of being here but if they do not show up later on by the end of this year, then they too will be deleted out as well.

So.... if anyone happens to come back and can't log in that may be one reason why and the person can always register again.

Okay so now we are at 139 members as of this time.  I went from 11 pages of members down to 3 pages as of now!!

So you can plainly see that most registrations were not active in any way even though some use to be. I see no sense in keeping them.  Some people have not been here like in 3 years. Chances are they moved on and won't be back. We are a small community anyway so I just keep things pruned so database and such does not get too cluttered.
