Sort of. I'm sur ethere are too many accounts that have never been used lingering on the list, but it's a chore to prune them.

So for now, yes, we have 300 registered members.

You should send emails out to those who have them that you know are not on the boards and see if they are still interested. If no response in say a couple weeks then delete them they can always register again. It is great to have 300 members if they are all visiting at some point in time but if some have not visited in years then I would think about brooming some of the herd.

Actually what I did last time I purged was to view all members who hadn't logged in during the past 100 days (as an arbitrary number), and then cut all the "Undercard Bum" rank accounts (less than 25 posts, IIRC). This keeps people who were once very active but have moved away from the board for whatever reason and catches a lot of people who weren't able to complete their registration due to over-active spam filters. I'll probably do something similar the next time I think about it.

On a related topic, one of the benefits of having account authorization on is that I can see whenever an AOL account tries to sign up and fire off an email to hopefully intercept problems before they happen.

That is cool and you are doing one heck of a job. Keep it up. Cheers!
