Deleting inactive members? - Redbull - 03-30-2013
When you own a forum, do you delete inactive members after some time? The ones that have 0 posts and didn't log in for a few months?

Personally, I don't. I don't think there's a need to do that either unless you're running a massive forum with thousands of active members. If you're running a small forum, removing inactive members just reduces your overall member count which can be one of your most valuable assets when just starting out.

The only problem deleteing inactive users, means you well just see that member area drop.

Don't think there is a need to do this. I don't plan on ever doing it here either.

I send a few email reminders then I erase them, I don't want a site with a bunch of no post

Yes, but who is honestly going to look at the users ?
