I haven't done any serious user pruning since sometime in 2005... :p

After a quick look in the database, I think I could delete about 12500 accounts. I should do that soon... [Image: mininana.gif]

I noticed you took the version number from the footer. What is this on, BETA 4? RC 1/2?

Just a sidenote...Can we not be rude to Fuse over a simple suggestion?  A lot of the posts in this thread seem to have a colder nature to them because you disagree with him.  If you cant express yourself without coming off as a bitch, then dont bother posting.

Personally, I think this is a good idea if WDZ wanted to implement it...for all new accounts by default with the option to "Upgrade" the account to a permenant one.  It would keep the extra's to a minimum.

People could come in after 6-8 months... Doesn't mean that you delete their accounts :P

Or maybe if WDZ can (and wants to) have an extra set of user titles and stars for all newcomers to have 5 posts before moving on to 'New Members'. >5 posts can be named 'Temporary Member' and they will expire in half a year if they do not make five posts.

And if someone actually wants to join the community, he/she/it can already easily post 5 posts (picture, introduction, monthly desktops, etc.) in an hour.

I kindof agree. But if this is done, they should make it really clear so people that are 'new' or dont know much about the site will not get their accounts deleted (if they wanted to stay) because they forgot to 'upgrade'

On the other hand, it is good as it is and temp. accounts may cause some problems.

I figured that when it was pointed out by MenthiX that they would be kept to preserve the user's posts and this was confirmed by WDZ this would end.. But apparently not.

O.P. RE: Temp Membership
thanks for standing up for me :P
and i still think it's a good idea but if WDZ/Menthix have spken i guess it's the end. but to menthix: maybe you could keep the important posts by temp members up and just strike there name out or something.
