Pruning the Membership List

[ICTPussHound]

Jackson...

I can't thank you enough for this site. I'm one to post only when I have valuable info but I try to at least put in an appearance every so often.

I say go with the plan. Excellent ideas all!

Thanks,

Hound

Clean up the member list. Save the SQL Server cache I/O's for better utilization!

Don't worry about folks who might get miffed. To get a 90% improvement there's often a few exceptions - don't be hard on yourself for that. You're making good judgement calls using reasonable-man approaches.

Thanks for the forum.

p.s. Don't know if you ever saw my other post in the Admin section, but I still believe it would be a good idea to have some 'universal form' that people could use for rating different areas, clubs or service providers.

I read parts of this forum (usually the European and Mexico sections) a couple of times a week. The reason(s) I haven't posted for quite a long time are:

1. I haven't been back to Germany and the FKK clubs since my last post. I only take one significant vacation per year.

2. When I did post, it was a detailed and lengthy post about how to get to Atlantis FKK by train for about 11 euro round trip. I thought that would be of significant help to other mongers who were paying as much as 120 euro for taxis, but some dude named E-frog took HUGE offense at the post and essentially called me a stupid person, among other things. I don't need that.

Fully 99.9% of the posters on this forum do NOT choose to flame other posters, so maybe I'm overreacting, but it caused me to give up posting when I still thought I had significant information to add.

As for usefulness, I found out how to get to Oase and Atlantis by reading WSG Forum. I found out how to get to FKK35 by tram line instead of taxi by reading WSG Forum. I have found out all kinds of useful information on Boys Town in the Nuevo Laredo section, and fully intend to visit there someday (and know where to go and where to not go while there). WSG Forum is about as useful as it gets.

I agree with the plan. It is conservative in that it only culls the lurkers and hangers on, while contributors remain as members.

Sure it will have to happen over and over, but once established as a policy, the user list will settle down to active members.

Do it!

Hey it's me Gnome,

Jackson you run a first class site. The changes sound good. I know i monger more than I post, but the action is a little slow here in Reno. LE really does do a good job. Damn it!

Jackson, keep up the good work!!

Gnome out.

Jackson,

I like the plan. Use it or lose it for the user names. You can read without a user name so it's not a big deal for lurkers.

You didn't address the 24-48 hour delay for new members in this posting. Is that something that you will continue to do, or will that be addressed later?

The Regular Member / Senior Member issue will be addressed in the near future.

WSG is the best site on the net. Do whatever you have to to keep it running effieciently.

Thanks a lot Jackson!

Jackson,

It's your board, your server, your efforts, what ever is easiest for you makes sense. The GREAT job you're doing gives you the priviledge of making these decisions unilaterily if you so choose.

I have been waiting for this day!

[Upgrade1]

Clean up the list. Although I am a passive user, your board and the posts are invaluable on the trips.

Post or perish! (Guess I should post more.)
