Yeah, it surprised me just how many people make an account and then never, ever post. Like, a majority of the registered users. Even if you don't count spambots. It would have been nice to not delete the real people who registered but have yet to post, but it wasn't feasible to look at each individual account like that with this many. I wanted to delete the spam accounts because their profiles link to spammy sites. Having thousands of links on your website to spam sites is detrimental to search engine rankings.

I have my own forum where my friends and I chat together. And this is not unusual, because I tell somebody (like my sister, who doesn't get on the computer much) about my forum. They join, and then forget about it because they hardly get o line or have other sites they like to go to.
