The latest stats on the site indicate 143,050 registered users with 334 new members today.
How many of these accounts are sitting dormant?
Isn't it about time to start sorting the wheat from the chaff and remove some of the free user accounts that haven't been accessed for a given length of time? Maybe 3 months would be a good benchmark to start with?
Also the free membership option I feel should be limited to maybe 4 weeks, followed by an email offering full membership before the account is closed. it may encourage a few more people to part with their cash and limit the number of non-users who remain listed on the site.
I understand you guys are running a business and member stats are an important marketing tool but there must be literally tens of thousands of members who have had a look around and never ever came back to use their account.
Thoughts people ?????
If you can't do this maybe you could add into the member search results the last date the member was active on site and sort them chronologically ?
what does chronological mean? is it summin to do with the weather or smoking too much?
Totally agree shag, well said.
and thanks Dave, how very interesting lol
Note to me..must do some silly pics lol

Chronos was Greek, Dave. Saturn was the Roman God of time.

It's a good thought - however, gassing tends to be very expensive, and annihalation is a bit messy. Any other thoughts?

Sorry you are wrong.
Chronos is Greek, he is also linked to Prometheus, chained to the rock, Greek creation story. Saturn was the god of time and other areas in Roman life.

"Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web to people like us in the forum...pmsl
Chronos (Kronos) was the Greek god of time who fled to Italy and eventually Rome after his Titan army was defeated by the Olympians (Zeus and all them) When he arrived in Italy his name was changed to Saturn, he became God of argriculture and harvests. He was married to some goddess or other, also to do with harvests, I dunno if they ever did a full swap thing.................might have done! They had a son called Jupiter, so I don't think they were able to accomodate, but travel didn't seem a problem.
Isn't mythology a wonderful subject!
Mind you with all these deelightful pics it hard to concentrate.
OK time for some more edjikashun, can anyone spell antidisestablishmentairialism?

...ummm yes, well some people do go away and allow their membership to revert to 'free' but return to premium membership at a later date, so culling the 'dormant' profiles wouldn't be a good idea. When you search profiles they are listed in order of most recently logged into first, so if you don't want to look at dormant profiles don't look at the ones further down the search list!

so Kronos was into dogging then (in those fields during the harvest).
Talking of fields, brings a whole new perspective to Le Champs Elysees (elysian fields I think - if wrong, Mrs Cop will no doubt correct me. Assume the position Cara :moon: :moon: :moon: :P
