Where are the members? Almost 100 members lost and the last member joined on July 2007. What happened? Is it a computer virus?

I see last member joined on 29th April 2008.

It is possible that the admins have revised the member list and deleted those who haven't logged in for a long time.

I think your account is being deactivated if you don't post for over a year. Maybe people are busy and don't have the time to come so often....

I don't think so. A lot of people never post but come on here and read all the time. Maybe they deleted the accounts of those members who haven't logged in for a year or so?

You are correct! A lot of people just signed up for an account, but never logged in. Or logged in once and never came back. Many where just spam bots.

I'm in marketing, maybe we need an email campaign to get everyone back! I only recently started posting, but lurked for a year. Does seem quiet lately though?

None of the regular posters were deleted, nor any of the people who never post but check in daily. The majority of the accounts deleted were inactive members or Russian spambots. If the forum is quiet, it could be because everyone is busy lately?

It has nothing to do with posting. It doesn''t matter when you don't post. You are allowed to lurke only :wink: :lol: !
They have only deleted those accounts who haven't logged in , not even for lurking or those accounts which are used for spam!

Thanks to Misha and the other administrators for their constant care of this forum....much appreciated.

I would like to post more often but it's finding the time. I am at work just now so shouldn't really be on.

At home I usually can when my other half is away/out.

I do come on every day though to check any updates and news.

I don´t feel its considerably more quiet than usual - only less pics in the pic thread. Maybe I should start pixling again :twisted:

Less picture because he isn't made. I think there will be more and more picture then come the two premiers. EW, Empire, Premiere, Total Film, Cinema and other covers. Don't forget our favourite Greg Williams photos.

I've been out for a few days. My mouse is on the fritz and it's weird using the touch pad. Lots of work and the weather is nicer so we are out and about more.
