Delete members with 0 posts

I never likes pruning. But once i hit 5000 members i sent out an email 2 weeks early to all inactive members saying that there was going to be a prune. And if they didn't want to be deleted then they need to login.

i NEVER delete members from database, i know traffic is more important than members however i prefer members over guests because its like u got PROOF that ur site is good, where traffic can be slow on some days and busier at other times

pros:
save database space (but with Tb had disks this doesnt matter)
makes nicknames available for other users
may reduce leechers

cons:
reduces member count - less member uptake
may annoy leechers - lose members

I think we should.

i guess if your site has like 50k members or more (maybe even 20-30k or more) its not a good idea to prune members with 0 posts... could kill your forum? cause im sure you will delete almost half your members if not more. Its better if your going to prune, prune from the start..

agreed I am thinking of doing the same thing with users that have been registered at least 7 days

thats a little prune user happy i think 1 week wow cmon

Never once pruned inactive users, meh dont see the point, it increases chances of more people registering and they might come back some day...

I wouldn't prune users with 0 posts. As most of them register so they can just get downloads. Not every1 contributes and there isn't any rule in my forum that says everybody has to contribute
