A Mod Suggestion

A mod to deactivate memberships?

Like, if they're inactive for xdays then they are sent an automated message being told to get on the boards within a week, and if they don't then their account is deleted. And they are sent a second email telling them so.

I guess some forums like the massive member count to make them look good and popular but I for one would much prefer to only have members who really were "members" and not just names.

I'm not handy with any language save HTML/DHTML, so I am of no use, which is why I came to suggest it. It's feasible right? And productive?

Someone should give it a go.

Yeah that's the thing. If they were inactive for that long none of their posts would be in view anymore. So that wouldn't be a problem.

And yeah I see what you mean, but I'd set it to every 3 months. And then no appearance for 4 months would get it deleted. With this sorta forum that might be seen as harsh as many people only come here when they need it (I say many, not all), my forum has a general community where people meet up etc. and it's all very constant. So people that don't show up should be made inactive. As it shows lack of dedication (I know there's not "rule" for this, just an etiquette on most message boards like mine).

But hey.. if it ain't feasible (positive it couldn't work?) then there's nothing I can really do about it, I'll have to get one of my admins to do it manually.. it's a damn tough job though..
