Been having a look through some of the dyno sheets in the members areas and trying to trace the owners and cars so I can see what mods they're running. But most of them are now just 'registered users' who havn't been active since 1832 (slight exageration perhaps).

 

Should there not be some kind of automatic elimination of members after a certain period of inactivity? I don't mean send round a hitman with a silencer - but something that detects when people are no longer active members. I would say that 12 months grace is more than adequate for someone to log in once in a while.

 

Its just that some of the best names have been hogged by people no longer associated with the site [struggles to find justification for requested action]. So c'mon mods - let's have a little spring clean and have a clear out.

 

Bagsy membership number 007 :lol:

we've had old members and users return after a year or more of absence without the hassle of new log in details which if they were wrote off the records would be a pain in the arse

Lies I tell you - how many times has that happened??

 

Once... possibly. That's an extremely poor excuse for bad housekeeping. :hammer:

 

You could just archive them if you're all nostalgic, my guess is though, its too much effort! :tt2:

I'm back after about 2 years, I've been a member here for about 8 years, I always subscribed while I had a Z, I supported local & national meets.... why should loyal long standing members (subscribed or registered) be removed after such a short period?

 

I thnk you'll find I'm not the only one who returned to the fold in recent months :)

 

And.... The mods here do a pretty good job all in all, many put in much effort for little or no reward.

 

You'll be wanting an age limit next lol

It really does happen all the time. We often have ex-regulars returning after long periods of abscence..wether it be becuase they have new found enthusiasm for their Z or becuase they have purchased another after selling up years before, or just becuase they pop-in to say hello to old friends.

 

Plus if you get rid of an account then all the posts for that person stops becoming searchable - you would start losing valuable content from the forums.

Thats just it!!! :/

Okay, okay - I geddit,

 

But I do agree with Steve J - there should definitely be an age limit - anyone over 25 should be forced to leave..
