Hope the email reminded you you were missed by the nerds who make other nerds seem like normal people.
WOW!! That is some serious pruning that has gone on there. There were 10,000+ members the other day, now we're down to just shy of 4500. Were there really over 5000 redundant sign-ups that never made a post or revisited within the last 4 or more years?
The forum has been around for over ten years, so there are many old accounts. So we have gone from 10,000 account to the active ones. Many people have gotten married , etc so 4-7 year old accounts had to go no matter how painful to delete. We went from a closed not viewable unless registered forum to one anyone can see. We have the 5% rule going on, which is only 5% of our viewers really register or post anything. I hope to fix this.
