w00t.  We just keep growin' and growin' :)  Cant wait till we make it to 1000.

The party's at Draconomicon, and everyone's invited!

Now, if only those 700 people would be active...

[fossi]

Just imagine if half of those people were active.. O_o.. Keeping up would be a chore. Well, we've had a party for every other hundred marker... 1,000 should be a ball!

Well thats pretty cool! and I don't mean to sound mean/booring.. but how about celebrating by actually cleaning out the inactives? I mean no need to have accounts that are never used, right?

Ohwell lets party! :D

A week is kind of a short time, as we have people that disappear for months at a time.  This would be a lot easier if we had a system that allows us to stick inactive accounts elsewhere so they could easily be reactivated.  Until that is set up in some way, we shouldn’t really just delete all accounts that do not respond.

I do think some accounts that had their applications rejected could be removed, as those are not being used.  Might take a lot of work for little net gain though.

Actually, right aftre I posted it I remembered the sponsor system.  Depending on how we handle it, we might lose a LOT of members in our database.  The way I plan on going about it is:
1) BEFORE any actual website changes, the new Draconomicon will be hosted on build.draconomicon.com.  We can then make sure all the active members have a sponsor ahead of time (assuming they deserve one, but I can't think of any current member that doesnt).  This also gives people a chance to familiarize themselves with the site, find any bugs/inconviences, etc though it will only have prototype content on it.  

2) Transfer over all the content to build.draconomicon.com.  Rename the current www.draconomicon.com to old.draconomicon.com.  Renamed build.draconomicon.com to www.draconomicon.com.  

3) Have the old database backed up.  New members will have to apply again.  However, if they have a matching username or email from our old database, this is made note of and an administrator will sponsor them for a short time if no one else does.  Also, in case the member changes their username or email, then if they can log into old.draconomicon.com still and show us, then they get the same privelidge.

4) Keep old.draconomicon.com around until the sponsor system stablizes.  Once we're ready, and most people are good with the new site, we decommission it and throw it into archive somewhere.

Oh wow! many people has awake as a dragons thats is interesting, we are almost 800!

I wonder why they don't post, they cant have all posted and then gone inactive. They're definetley just hangin around in the shadows.
Actually this was an old post, we're now baisically at eight hundred.

Kahze you know the way to earn more stars in my stats??
like you for example: you have 3 and I only 1
do you know the way? :drag_devious:

[atomicdragon]

Stars are based on how many posts you've made.

Many people sign up just to see what is in the site.  Many others sign up and find out the site is not what they wanted.  Some move on, go elsewhere, some are not very big on forum environments.  And so on, for a multitude of reasons, some people will want an account but never end up using it (many have accounts that have never posted at all).

Thx you
