Inactive Member Deletion

[Bob_Roller]

I 'cull' the herd here of inactive members .

Here's the method I use to determine the inactivity of a member on this site .

180 days from when you open your account / profile here, if you havn't made a posting, you're deleted .

If you have made 1-5 postings, if you let 600 days go by without logging in, you're deleted .

6 or more postings, if you let 730 days go by with logging in, you're deleted .

When I started doing this about 15 months ago, I sent out hundreds of emails notifying members that they wouild be deleted if they didn't log in within 30 days .

A fair amount of the emails came back as undeliverable, not one response from any member and only one member made a posting to keep their profile / account active .

I don't send out any emails anymore .

So there is the method I use .

Go for it.
I'm always getting automated emails from the Kaw. 250 Ninja (?) forum that I signed up for while investigating them.
I would rather they delete me from their roster.

I've been away for a while after IT issues, but hopefully that's all behind me now!

Culling makes for a healthy nerd herd. D2

That's pretty funny, Dave.

I recall attending a property owners meeting some years ago where we were discussing the over-abundant population of deer in our area. The lack of adequate forage was creating health problems among the deer. The decision to hire a hunter to harvest several deer to thin the herd was made and a few additional questions from people were answered.

City Lady: "Excuse me, but does harvest mean kill?"

Moderator: "Yes ma'am, it does."

City lady: "OMG! Are you going to kill the Bambies?"

True story. The laughter was so loud I never did hear any other replies.

Please don't eat me.  I don't want to lose my privileges before i had a chance to use them.  

ps: looking for clean r65 in the northeast.

oucho -
There are a few up this way for sale, here is one

Also, though I'm sorta trying to get him to change his mind about selling it, a member here "williamemack" is thinking of selling his - you might send him a pm or email.

What I do find odd about this forum is that it's one of the very few that allows you to delete yourself as a user..

A feature more forums should have..

thanks nhmaf.  I might not be realistic, but I think that's about 1k off.  I so love a black bike. Blue is cool too. And Red works.  

I miss my 1983 r65.  I bought a new bike that is comparable with our times.  It handles the modern highways, but I don't have the same affection for it as I did with the r65.  I can't imagine I will like it nearly as much when it become 30 years old.

Please don't delete me.

Just make sure you post something every few months and then Bob "The Hammer" Roller will leave ya alone...

[Bob_Roller]

I think 'Guillotine Bob' would be a more threatening name .

May get more respect with that username !!!!!

[oucho]

I think both work, as they sound like a metal worker/fabricator.  Shear, Hammer, and Roll...

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

How about Bob "Steam" Roller?

Good names! Keep me alive even though it's been awhile. Right now Derek and I have a sewer blockage here at home and we're trying to keep our heads above water so to speak or at least stay outta ^&%t here so I don't have time to be online too much. Miss my buds!!

Cheers,
Stinky

Going to try trenchless pipe repair technology. My beautiful garden pond is dead-in-line with the sewer pipes running 70 feet out the back of the house!!!
