We did do a cull a few years back.
the criteria was: zero posts + not visited the forum in the last year.
think we took out about 500
Never got a single "where's my freaking account Bud?" email either.
I'm nervous about do such mass deletions though. I could have a senior moment and delete everyone.
What is to gain by doing such a thing? - not much that I can think of. The member list will be shorter when searching for someone. As for server space consumed by the extra database fields for those members you could delete - probably almost nowt.
