Total Pruning

[Loony BoB]

Yup. And members with actual posts have been pruned in the past, as you'll see in the early threads of the General Archive, for example.

The only valid reason we have to prune members is to free up some usernames which they've taken. But there's no urgency there as far as I'm concerned.

I vote prune Agent Proto.

Yeah, with the Ciddies coming on, you gotta cover a lot of ground to beat pr00t.

Owned. xD

Crash got pwned.

Well as RSL said once if they have an account for 6 months and never posted than their done for. Bye bye pruned members!!

I never said that. Don't put words into my mouth.

He probably thought you were the easiest admin.

RSL said I could be a Cid's Knight.

Yeah you did. Here. I can't find the link but it was that very first thread about pruning. When there was 10,000 member's some mod said it's time to prune as you told me that..

[RSL]

We would only prune accounts that have 0 posts and have been registered for several months, if we even pruned them at all.

Thank you and good night.

Good night! *waves*

...Oh.. You still said you didn't say half when you did..

No he didn't.

Let me explain this a little differently.

The reason I brought up pruned members in that 10,000 member thread was to point out that we've actually had many, many more registered members than that. A bunch of them were pruned.

You asked why and I explained that sometimes we prune members who have 0 posts and have been registered for a long time. This is not the same as saying "any account with 0 posts after six months is automatically gone." And as other staffers have explained before me, it's not something we are really that worried about any more. We have had instances of members who actually have posts getting pruned on accident. We don't want that to happen again.

And if we did feel it was time for a member prune, we would do it. When crashNUMBERS feels it is time for a member prune, well, too bad, I guess.

I respect that and all but I never said to prune member's. I asked when it's gonna happen and brought up an idea. I never said you have to..

Glad that's settled then!
