might clear some server space though.

They don't take up much space and space is cheap. If time is money, it's literally not worth the trouble.

Most of the older members had one or a few times of absense, but returned with new energy and fresh ideas.
Others had asked and later answered each FAQ´s and turned down to stop by frequently.

I don´t mind all the inactiv members, they´ll have a second chance (if they remember thier pass)
As Stefan says: Space is cheap!

Remembering login id and passwords may be part of the problem..... I'm guilty of that on other sites.

Fortunately, it's usually possible to recover the password and username, as long as you remember your e-mail address.

I was inactive for a long while, but as I've gotten deeper into the snake hoppy I've gotten into this and another 2 forums, more this one and www.cornsnakes.com only because I have garters and corn snakes. I do more browsing of posts and pictures then I do posting myself, unless of course I have something good to say or a question to ask, etc...
I have told many people about this site for mostly the soul purpose of them being interested in purchasing Garters for pets or as to give them a link for care sheets. I am no where close in order to ship a couple garters that I'm selling for $20-$30 CAD across the country where it could cost double the initial price for shipping. So I send them a link and tell them that they could probably find someone closer and with a bigger variety of Thamnophis.

Come on Stefan, let it out.
Tell us how you really feel

Now wait a minute. When I do that, I get myself into trouble and get everyone biting my head off. Sometimes it's just better if you don't know how someone really feels about certain things. I must admit I sometimes can't resist ignoring that fact and open my mouth anyway.

Very interesting stats Udo. I don't think I like that last one. Less than 30% voted even though they viewed the contest? Terrible.

So .... where do we draw the line? .... should we be imposing a curfew on not returning? .... or have a spring clean?

i truly hope that there will be no restrictions put on inactive members
i say this for two reasons, the first has already been alluded to, the fact that so much can affect a persons ability to take part in the day to day site activity's
relationship problems. moving [home, city, state,] education, the list is vast
but for me the main reason is it would be against the whole ethos of this site,
WHICH IS a group of very friendly very welcoming people with a mutual passion.
the message should surly be, you will always be one of us and are welcome back when you are ready.

Sorry for mistating:
The photo constest thread has 352 views/30 days = 10 views/day
it´s impossible to say how many unlisted members, listed members and guests had a look at it and how many times! ( without reading billions of login files or writing new algorithms for "big brother" )
