It's not 500,000.
Read the above posts.

Speaking of which why don’t we purge members?

I think the DB would run a lot cleaner if we nuked those members that have less then 50 posts and haven’t posted in the last year?

I mean the DB should support the ON DELETE CASCADE command so this wouldn’t be a big deal depending on how the DB is setup right?

Or are we just keeping the dead weight around for bragging rights?

Just my thoughts.

I concur with all that has been said by Chief-sami. ^_^

I have been looking at the Members list, and there are so many members, who haven't made a single post.

~!!! In addition, it will be great to see the existing members stay more active and participate. ^_^ But one thing is, I am so very happy to see many of the old members return ~! I have also tried to call up some lost members back to AO like Stitch, Nathalie, silly Mayura, and many others... So far, none responded. >.<;;;; Moreover, I am also trying to bring some of my college mates, who are good debaters. Just trying to make AO more interesting, but I do hope others will also try to bring in some of their good pals to AO.

I'm with you on this one. Purging sounds great. Something where if you don't log on once in 3 months, or post 20-30 times in 6 months would definitely work. Maybe it should be added? I mean, having 50,000 on record is always going to sound nice, but there's no way we'll ever have more than 1,000 signed in at one time. There's no point on keeping dead weight that don't contribute to the website.

Those are my two cents.

Truth.

But for the owners, the prestige and $ probably makes the difference...

yeah im sure the owner likes the prestige and the dollars as well lol, if we pruged the site.. then less money that = bad bad bad!

Well, not a winner, but we have our 50,000th REGISTERED Anime Online member. Sailortampon still hasn't verified their email address, so it's time to move on.

The award goes to kimavigail. She hasn't yet posted a message, however I will PM her now telling her about this thread. Let's hope she can introduce herself and say "hello" to us all. Maybe when she reaches 500 posts (Elite Status), every registered member could give her a gift. She would then be the most gifted person here.

By the way, the Members List only shows members who have at least 1 post. So you wont find kimavigail on the Members List just quite yet.

I wouldn't put that into concrete just yet. Don't underestimate the Power of Anime Online.
