guys, you keep acting like this will be some sort of "culling of the n0 0bs". it wont be. If youre reading this right now, then you are OBVIOUSLY not one of those i am referring to. The people to be deleted have NEVER posted here, and were created more than 6 months ago. That means, if you create an account tomorrow, then you can keep that account alive by posting at least 2-3 times in 6 months--thats about 1 post every 90 days. If you cant manage that, then you dont need an account. People dont need an account to view posts....

Basically, you would be deleted if ALL of the following are true:
A)Your account was created BEFORE JAN 1, 2002
AND
B)You have never posted

After the first round of deletions, the mods could do a monthly check, and maybe set up an automatic program where those in danger of being deleted would get a generic email, giving them 7 days to become active in the forums. If after 7 days they still had 0 posts, they would be deleted.

And of course, to be in danger, both A) and B) above would have to be true.
