Biscuits Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just seen we have thousands of members... but I can't think that we have more than a hundred active users... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Bangs Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Should we start with the new breed of 'bastards' first? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 The trouble with culling the 'dead' members is it completely ****s the thread/post database. Probably. Edit - ooh, the autocensor works, then! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Can we cull some of the active members too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 What's wrong with having thousands of members? As long as it's not a pull on server resource of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think we might be surprised at how many members still visit but don't post. I suspect it is a lot. But what do I know, I'm new. Oh and by the way, hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome. I'm nearly at 100 posts (for some reason I started at 72???) and I'm loving this place. It's also nice to see you've got some female members too. Just_chick was good enough to reply to my Driving Re-test thread and Tipex did too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just_chick was good enough to reply to my Driving Re-test thread and Tipex did too. :D :roflmao: There's a good point there, killing all the lurkers is probably not a good idea.

max_b Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I would have said a culling more along the lines of some of the (sub) forum headings - look at the dates of when some of the last posts were - maybe a reason why new members don't sign up and post as some of the posts are so old? Might it be a idea to consolidate the individual models from each manufacturer into one, bit like the new Merc section. If the Technical and Chat sections want to be kept I suppose they could be kept seperate then put all models together eg Audi Chat, Audi Technical, Audi All Models - same for VW, BMW etc? Should help tidy up some of the main page as well reduce it in size and hopefully more participation in posts as all models from each manufacturer will be in one section? (I still cant find the fecking smilies on the iPad!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is this a private community these days ? I didn't realise it was. If its not I don't understand the point it clearing up. If this is private we should keep a tight ship so we all feel more comfortable posting detail that potentially we would not if open to the masses or simply mass of inactive lurkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm amazed by the amount of new accounts created all the time. All nonsense accounts of course but really, what are they hoping to do by doing this? Don't suppose I'll get any thoughts on that tonight given the sh1tball is on. How anyone can watch that over the bake off is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not in London it doesn't! That's true, thought you might have been in Edinburgh, although to be fair River City is West Coast:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
