July 25, 2004 Members Stats

Rather than removing members who have zero posts(which is utter rubbish) if users are got to be removed no matter what happens then those users who have not logged in for some time may be removed.

I myself(and I am sure many others) became a member of many a boards just to download a file or ask a single question and dont have its account details anywhere.There must be many like this in this board too which can be safely and painlessly removed. :rip: :missing:

Think about it though.... if 15156 people all said thank you for BzFinder, NeXplorer, AveText, AveDesk, FireFox-Safari, VOSBL, Expire with just those 6 examples thats nearly 100,000 posts not to mention all the wallpapers, icons, themes... AS would just be flooded with tons of useless posts... yes its nice to see a thank you but we are all grateful for every contribution so who cares about posts??? Im glad we have 0 posters if they all posted AS might be too expensive or flooded to continue!

Hey, its all your own fault:

There is no "delete me from this board" button in control panel!

Of course, if I was teased enough and finally owned a Mac, why should I bother

modding my dumped PC? (Other reasons of quitting A-S may apply also)

I would recommend to extend the database with a "last seen online" timestamp

and automatically send a mail 6 months after his/her last click here, including

hyperlinks to deregister or extend membership another 6 months; once the

member has sublimed to another realm, viewing his profile should be all grayed

with a final user provided remark of this member, like:

- I have made the switch and don't bother anymore, contact me at .Mac...

- I apologise my unavailability because of having deceised...

- I went back to nature and have no use for electricty and internet anymore...

- I have been infected with Milk / Jetblack so hard that Aqua is of no interest to me; see me as user ... at board ...

hope you get the irony, but its a point, isn't it?

Wait wait wait, another thing, http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18841

thought you guys didn't care about post counts :P

0 Posters are staying, I know I sign up at some forums and never post.

You can not download, view images, search, view new topics as a guest.

I agree with Archi5t.

Don't you see babypapichulo? We want everyone to download these apps, not just people that posts loads. Anyone and everyone should be able to download our work, that is how a community grows.

I would like to clarify (To further tarnish my reputation. That's right, I have an ego, also.) that I did NOT create this thread to say "Delete the Zero Posters," but just to give stats and do something useful with all the free time I have.

Going to close this thread, because i'm too lazy to keep tabs on it lol.

Nah I'm just going to update the boards.
