Pruning the Membership List

[Nerd]

Cleaning house sounds like a great idea. Just don't make the minimum posting frequency too high. Sometimes, we drop off the radar cause we really don't have anything to report.

Great job with the WSG Forum, Jackson. Thanks.

Jackson,

I really respect your website and just how AMAZING it is. I haven't posted, but I will soon. Travel plans are being made due to this site.

It's your site, in the end, do what is best!

Jackson,

Great idea to prune the list! By the way I never heard anymore about the "special" forum just for BA mongers you mentioned at last year's Thanksgiving dinner. Is that one of the many new features in the works? I still think this is the best forum on the Net.

Thanks again!

I don't see any problem with it.

Using your numbers, if you prune those three categories, that looks like about 5-6000.

Out of 20,000 members, that's only 1/4 of the members. That's not really that many, considering you are still leaving 15,000 or so actively posting members. If those 15,000 are where the majority of the useful info is coming from, then I dont' see any slacking off on the amount of useful info if they are the only ones left posting.

Sign me up for the GO FOR IT section Jackson. If they have not posted in the last six weeks then they are not true mongers anyway.

This sounds like a great plan, Jackson! This site just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see the upcoming improvements!

Jackson,

You do an excellent job in maintaining this site and the new initiatives that you are going to be taking are going to improve the site.

As for the member list, your ideas are pretty good. I would add that try to keep the requirements of a handle to a minimum, for example I like my handle and would like it if I did not have to change it!

Keep up the great work!

Jackson,

Clean it up, but please don't make us re-register. I have enough problem remembering all of my log on names and passwords!

[nightscool]

Sounds reasonable enough. Which means it's going to be a major headache for you. And let me thank you for having the forum in the first place.

Well it is a good idea, also it would be nice to have some way to rate the quality of posts and this should be shown along with tne name of poster (cumulative).

Your efforts on this board are spot on. I agree that people not active should be purged.

If it's a problem for you having registered members that don't post often or none at all, then cut them, including me. I registered in case I had something to offer, knowing that I usually don't participate often enough to provide timely information. If I am cut, I'll still continue to read the board as I have for a loooooong time. But if I have something to offer, it wouldn't be worth my time to re-register in order to post it. My ha' pence along with a sincere thanks for offering to take it.

Drop em like a three foot putt. If they complain about their handle F-em if they don't post who cares. If they want it back, sell it to them for a $100, you'll see how much they really care about it. Maybe I can get the "King of the World" handle :)

Those who just back channel, again they have nothing to offer the forum, drop em.

Hell, you are the "King of the World" Take that handle over :)

Didn't take my earlier post for some reason. I agree with getting rid of the dead weight. I would like to see a limit on how many times (or how many minutes) someone that has not registered can access the boards. Its just to easy for LE as well as deadbeats that never contribute to look at where the action is and move in thus displacing those of us providing the information. I know that it is not likely to happen though.

I do thank you Jackson for all you have done to bring this site back from the dead. I wish there was a way to thank you more properly than just saying thanks!
