    Well, what about deleting members, which has no posts and never went to here? I'm sure much of them are spambots. And it makes the memberlist looking nice :p

    I agree! There are too much useless accounts! Oh, and you should make a poll! :p

    No. The Staff/Administrators have to decide that. Not the users. :)

    Yes, but you can make a poll, to look what the users are saying about this topic!

    No, but I won't. Now let's wait 'til Qjimbo answered. He'll be online tonight.. Because it's the time I saw him here all the time, but yeah.

    Deleting accounts is stupid. You're removing potentially vital information from the database that could be helpful for future reference; for example, many oldbies could not be identified without the user account records on old incarnations of Sonic scene boards. There's no need to delete them, so we shouldn't.

    Yes, but 0 Post accounts? They ARE useless!

    Hmm... This made me thinking again.. But isn't there an option on IPB to send an e-mail to all the users? So just to remind them. :p
