I've decided to "prune"(as the forum control panel calls it) some members from the forum. Anyone who had 0 posts and their account hasn't seen any activity from this year has been deleted for the most part(there were a few exceptions). If your account was deleted and you'd like it reinstated just email me and I'll hook it back up. Bel |

Just a quick message to the lurkers out there: I'll be doing another pruning around the first of the year. If you'd like to keep your account, just PM me and I won't delete it for not having any posts.

Another pruning session has been done. As per usual, if your account was one that was deleted for having no posts, and you'd like to keep it active, just email me and I'll bring it back up for you. Bel |

Alright, have done the yearly member pruning(deleting members with 0 posts, who have been here for longer than 6 months). As always, if you were deleted and you'd like to re-register just shoot me an email and I'll set you up. :) Bel |

Went ahead and pruned all members who have been with the forums for a month or more and haven't posted or even come back since their initial sign up. Tired of people joining and not posting... Bel |

I'm thinking we're going to have next to nobody to talk to unless we let those members who actually like the Wii, DS, PS3 and PSP talk about their new things. It amazes me too, since I'm still finding stuff like Flink for the Sega CD that I never new existed, but almost everybody else thinks new is all there is. I'm not even sure whether forums are being replaced by "comments" in editorial pages, but I'm sure we'd have more activity in here if we didn't dog the current favorites so much. |

Fuck that. I'd rather shut this forum down that open it up to that bullshit. Honestly, I don't mind the small community we have here, and I enjoy talking to everyone who shows up...I just get sick of people signing up and then never even coming back(this shows in the "last activity" section of their profiles, which is usually just left " -- "). Why even take the time to sign up, you know? Bel |

Yeah, it doesn't require them to sign up to view certain posts does it? Some people will fill out a registration just out of blind habit though. |

Yeah, that's just it: There's nothing on the forum you can't view as a Guest. You can look at all the posts, all the pics, everything. This is why I don't understand why they are signing up just for the fuck of it. I kind of think it's gotta be some sort of bullshit initiation test for other forums...that they need to have their name on a number of other forums in order to be considered, etc. From here on out, people have *1* month to make a post...if they don't, they get deleted. One thing, I think, is also killing the forums is that ever since we upgraded to ZetaBoards, it doesn't send me emails anymore when someone signs up. I just have to check the list when I can remember to(I have a reminder set to tell me to do it every Friday). Thing is, even if they had to wait a week to get activated, it still sends them an email letting them know they've been activated and are ready to go... Bel |

invision really did make the best forum software out there... it sucks that they decided it was no longer worth it to let people use it free. |

I guess they have to make money somehow...afterall, they do foot all of the bandwidth and software for the service. I just wish that IPBB(or whatever it's called) had something similar. Bel |

Speaking of pruning, I did a bit of it here, but nothing was actually deleted: A lot of posts got rolled in(combined) to the pinned threads at the top of this section. So, anyway, if you had a post in here in the "Suggestions and Comments" section and it has mysteriously disappeared, it's just hiding in one of those topics. If you'd like to find it, an easy way to do so is to hit your profile, go to the drop down on "Profile Options" and select "List Member's Posts/Topics". Bel |
