EDIT: I mean, ha ha to SD's post.

1) Cheat in a Democracy Game
2) Kick up activity in a virtually dead forum
3) They hate Apolyton/They hate rules

Are there any more reasons?

A lot, believe me... especially in the OTF...

All the nil posts people should be cleared out. It would probably open up some better user-names. But some of the nil-post people might just only post in the OT forum...hrm...

1. there's no issue with that. if there's one table in the sql database causing problem, it's the search index one...

2. actually, it would open the way for the recreation of old dl's

If they have nil posts anyway they couldn't have been troublesome DLs.

Today the 25000 members milestone was passed, and the members increase faster and faster. As it is now it's hard for Markos to do a feature each 1000 member, so how long until we make 26000?

Hey! You did my self imposed job- Doing one of Markos' jobs!




ACK!

[mrmitchell]

We don't need to compete with Civfanatics on number of users, we need to compete on number of threads and posts...

This brings us to
61,865 threads and
1,299,685 posts!

CFC has
36,166 threads and
607,765 posts.

Of course, it's all friendly competition...

[TheStinger]

i agree with those other people

[Rasbelin]

I agree with Alex and Saggy. Dusting of accounts that haven't been used for e.g. 1 year could well be deleted as that would 1. save server capacity (at least the time used by MySQL to create the lists of members) 2. get rid of old and otherwise possible hibernation DL accounts.

Any comments from the authorities like Dan and Markos?

Alex,

of course we are the winners. How dare you doubt that.

[Alex]

I'm with SD on this. The old, dusty and never used accounts should be deleted. Who cares about CFC? It's not about quantity, it's about quality. And we are the winners.

[mrmitchell]

If it's of any interest I had the incredible luck of loadng a page that said 25000 members, exactly 25000, I kid you not

And the Welcome to newest member was TheCrusader, does that mean he gets a prize?

[DrSpike]

That's more than I would have thought.

You can do these searches with the member link above, then going to advanced search.

1857 posters have posted within the last month.
243 have posted since yesterday.

[DrSpike]

Do we know, say, how many users have posted in the last month?

[Rasbelin]

If we kick out all the "dead" accounts, CFC should do that too. Otherwise it's unfair competition and Poly drops far behind CFC in comparison.

[Dauphin]

25,000

Big enough?

Its not a problem, I'm just one of those people that likes to throw out old stuff that serves no purpose and is only taking up space.
