I noticed that on January 25, we broke the 1000 member mark. Now, just 10 days later, we have 1095 members. That's almost 100 members in just 10 days, which I think is quite remarkable. Regardless of how big this forum gets, though, let me assure everyone that its features and quality will scale with its growth. As always, any feedback, suggestions and even criticisms are encouraged and will be very much appreciated.

hi Laz, no, the number of users is not currently managed in any way, and old accounts do not get removed. I'm not sure what you mean by duplicate accounts, but it's not possible to have multiple accounts with the same username, though it is possible for an individual to open multiple accounts. I'm not sure about writing a script to remove old user accounts. This is what hotmail, Yahoo, and other free email services do because user accounts take up disk space, but user accounts for our forum don't really take up any disk space, and so there wouldn't be any reason to really remove them. Also, if old accounts were deleted, then how would people feel if they revisited the forum in 6 or more months only to find out that their account has been deleted. In all, I don't think deleting old accounts is necessarily the thing to do, however, I do think that knowing who has been active within the last month or so would be worthwhile. To do this, I'd have to tweak the code that currently computes a list of active users in one day to show the list of active users within the past month, or past 6 months. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll see what I can whip together this weekend.
these are some nice thoughts, Bill. I agree that it would be an excellent idea to have polls, summaries, and collations. Let the tree grow, but let us remember that all branches of truth lead back to Unity, and that the synthesis of unity with multiplicity gives rise to a totality that takes us beyond both. |
