What do you mean by "last page"? I wouldn't delete anyone who has been active on the forum recently, or who registered recently.

i think these memebers should be delted and an email sent to their email (if possible) confirming that they have been deleted due to inactivity.

Nah, that's ridiculous.

Most of the users who haven't signed in in the past year or 2 are already deleted. I last pruned users only 3 or 4 months ago.

This isn't Hotmail. Bad comparison.

it was just A COMPARISON i dont care whether it was a good one or not, just simply A COMPARISON. And yes, i was unaware that there were many members deleted just recently. that was a good idea!

o agree that we should have a prune theres no point having members that have made 1 post since 2002 they probly have no intention of comming back so yes i think it should be considdered

crude but effective and understandable method: send an email to users who are inactive for (let's say) 6 months... no confirmation back within 7 days? then prune-time.... (this is done on lots of services where you need to subscribe)

How about clear our awaiting activation users that haven't visited in 2 months?

There's only like 800 of them. I'll wait till there's more before I prune...
