Title: Member List Cleanup?
Post by: Dark Shade on April 24, 2003, 09:32:43 AM: Just scrolling through the member list, when I suddenly realized how many "members" we have that don't use their accounts.

Would it be possible to remove most who don't post? It just clears up a whole lotta mess that's left lying around. Just a thought... :wink:

As long as we get to say, "Yes, at one point we had 1000 members" I'm fine.

Understandable. Just thought I'd throw it out and see what the masses think.

I believe so. About 650-700 of those have never really been used...

Sad, isn't it?

Hm...

I believe it may be declined like this:
"I smite you now."
"I smote you"
"I have smoten you."

Though that might be "I have smote you."
However: "You have been smoten."

I'm thinking of the olde english version. "Yea, verily I have besmoten many a vassal and claimed their smoten soul by right of conquest".

Include a link. Most will probably not even read your e-mail, but if we get 20 new regulars out of it, then it was worth it.
