Mod suggestion

[DenisF]

I think this forum definitely needs this mod

[Matej]

Now I'm seriously considering getting THIS thing.

[afonic]

I vote to install the first one!

[Matej]

The "2nd" is just a tool for installing mods.

[DenisF]

word
it's not like u install mods for a living anyway :p so no need for easymod.
the user prune thing, on the other hand.. can be quite helpful

[Matej]

Ok installed. Now who should we remove? Never loged in, no posts, inactive for xx days... ?

[sjaz]

Both. I think the inactive one should be left alone. Some people only come when theres problems for them but no posts and never logged in should leave us a few hundred.

[afonic]

I think never logged on and inactive for 90 days is the best choice.

If you run this every 91 days then we get the right users deleted!

[DenisF]

leave the inactives, wipe out the never-logged ones.

else u could delete someone like jagar by mistake
and we don't want that to happen, NOW DO WE

[Matej]

Ok, I'm removing all who have never logged in, excluding new users from the past 2 months. Though I'll have to go step by step - 1 year - 6 months - 2 months since it seems that it's too much for the server if I remove all at onece.

Gosh this is taking forever.

[DenisF]

lol

[miker_alpha]

DBD (dunno 'bout dat...)
Users (or non-registered users) could be lurking even as we speak!
What load, if any, is caused by people registering and never logging in? Perhaps there could be more explanation of what these forums are at the click-to-register page for new users?

Regards to you all!

tbh i don't think that i'll miss the 14000~ users who never logged in mike

and it's not as much load as it is inefficency.
when you have a forum with 2000~ posts, [and 1500 of them are mine ] and a whopping 16000 users, the DB file just gets huge and has the same effect as a fragmented file on a windows file system.

[afonic]

If the 1500 are yours and 500 mine then nobody else has ever posted!

Anyway you are right, the inactive ones might come back, just delete the ones that never logged in. The ones that logged in and never posted should not be many, so don't worry about that.

[sjaz]

And 1000 are mine.

[afonic]

Lame.

[DenisF]

5 bucks say they[he?] used that account to store warez/mp3

[afonic]

184x20 = 3680MB

All these for warez, Mp3s?

Imagine uploading 3GBs to Polarhome to see it delete in a few days? I think he tried to abuse the system by creating multiple users.

[sjaz]

Personally, I think hes a reject.
