Site isn't veyr active is it? with how many mems there are

[punwisp]

theres a estimate of 40,000 members(to make it simple I know theres 45 thousand)

with the amount of active members compared to how many there are, only around 23% of the members are active on the forum. Has anyone realized this?

 

[wugiboy]

the other 70% we're the members who have joined years ago(since its inception in 2003-04) and left so if you look at how many active members who have joined from 2006-08, they are comparably active..

 

[punwisp]

oh I see

OMG I mad emy self look like a fool now, I misspelled Very LOL

 

[HappyTauren]

You want all 40000 users to be active? This isn't happening on any forum. Besides, there are many banned/multiaccounts/bots/testaccounts/wc3sear doubled accounts/blah blah, thus it is not possible even technically.

 

[punwisp]

Yea I know all that, I just thought it was interesting that about 23% of the accounts are actually being used. so that's a lot of inactive/spammed/bot accounts. yea this site is still pretty active.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

23? Isn't it even.... like 11?

 

[HappyTauren]

We have around 10k active members.

 

[frostwhisper]

Which is more than enough to classify the site as "active".

 

[punwisp]

10,199 to be exact, and yea I know this site is still pretty active, but compared to the amount, this site is majority full of non active users(this includes bots and shit)

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, most of it is trash from Wc3sear. That place had thousands and thousands of bots anyway. And 99% of people join here just to ask one question, request one thing, etc, so I don't see why you find this so surprising.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I don't really care either, i'll talk about almost anything with almost everybody.

 

[redmarine]

what about removing all those accounts? It'll make it easier for people to get better usernames so perhaps remove those who haven't been used within a 2 year period and don't have reputation?

 

[HappyTauren]

You know how much work would it involve? No, so shut up
And you can always get yourself an username. Even by putting a point on the end if you must.

 

[Hakeem]

It's been asked, Ralle is not one of the 50% of people who would clean out completely useless accounts.

 

[The_Silent]

i'ts not only that, most of them has posted zero times.

 

[redmarine]

Remove those who haven't been posting within 3 days of registration!

 

[HorizonTal]

I have found a bunch of accounts with 0 posts, all with a similar name.
I can't remember exactly the repeating part, they were something like
Iamthebest_Arthas
Iamthebest_Illidan
Iamthebest_King
Iamthebest_Dark Killer
Iamthebest_SoniC

and so on!
But the repeating part wasn't "Iamthebest_", it was another name

Someone should create a bot to delete inactive accounts after a year o so, beacause I've visited loads of profiles which last activity was in 2006, posts = 0 and join date 2005 D:

EDIT: redmarine's idea is good too.

Hehe thanks but the moderators will probably kill me for saying something like that.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

why? whats the point of doing that? all that would is reduce our statistics of joining members. do you think sites like slashdot and digg delete the thousands of members they get who never post? of course they dont, its more hassle than its worth, and it makes the site look less popular to tracking sites.

I was saying removing those who haven't posted anything within 3 days or registration. It'll just remove those accounts who aren't even used and let those who have posted in peace.

 

[HorizonTal]

Who cares about the statistics of the site?
We don't need advertizings!
We are the best site for Wc3 modders!
We won't use such filthy methods of propaganda!
(Will we?)

Ralle! We Await Your Answer!

Ralle! We Await Your Answer!

How will Ralle find this thread amidst the millions? Does he have a system which notifies him every time his name is used on the site?

 

[The_Silent]

give him a link then

 

[Masiah]

I have ^^

 

[HorizonTal]

Yes, let's give to Ralle a link to the old HorizonTal's post, so he will ban me for life!!

 

[brad.dude03]

Statistics are everything. We're running a professional quality website. Are the inaxtive users some how holding you back? No. Do they directly effect you? No.

A million people before you have suggested the very same thing, and we've said no to all of them.

 

[HorizonTal]

But this time it's different! You have never been asked by a white dog in uniform!
According to me cleaning the site is a matter of Honor and Honesty.

We need to try harder.

 

[The_Silent]

don't they slow the server?

 

[Oninuva]

Which is more than enough to classify the site as "active".

Yes it is active, but not all 10,000. As long as a user visits the site every 90 days, they are considered active. So there are about 10,000 users who visit every 90 days.

 

[HappyTauren]

Seriously, get over it, we are NOT doing this.

 

[The_Silent]

What slows this server is stupidity of such posts. Seriously, get over it, we are NOT doing this.

Sorry, i did just ask

 

[HorizonTal]

After all, the site is yours. I was just suggesting.

 

[brad.dude03]

Thanks for the suggestion, but we kindly decline.

 

[~Void~]

don't they slow the server?

If they're not online, I wouldn't think so. Each user's bit in the database is trivial.

And I think even 500 users who come every day would be considered more than active.

See the poll too.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

it is a waste of time and achives nothing. if anything it would have a detrimental effect.
