heres an idea, i think peo or todd should prune the members down, mabey like people with under 15 posts and havnt been arround for 8 or more month, this would help with the database (less members to pull up) and with peopel who want to use a username like this

Not a good idea. I have seen a member recently who's last post was over a year ago. Just because they don't post doesn't mean they are not using the forums.

Some people only feel a need to post when they want some advice. They are not compelled to make posts every day, every hour, every minute.

I noticed a member in another forum (member since 1999) made his 5th post in that time, because there was something he/she wanted to know.

The answer was a firm no i think from everyone and peo. Enough said.
