    Yes, these zero, or single post members are numerous. I guess it is the same for most forums. I know I have joined several forums and not been active in discussion. Although on AJB, why anyone would be satisfied with being an inactive member is beyond me. ;)

    This should be in off topic really shouldn't it?

    Anyway yeah when people join and don't post it annoys me taking up usernames for nothing usernames what other people could use 8-)

    His location is England :#

    Yea, but he'd be instantly hated if he was active. Usernames like James Bond and Ian Fleming should have been reserved when the forum started.

    Almost all forums have a high inactivity ratio. If you get roughly 10% active you're doing good. Some of the inactive are sleeper spammers, who sometimes come back years later for a night of fun. Some just forgot they joined, or forgot their password. Some are total dummies and can't figure out how to log on. Some join and realize forums aren't for them. Some simply lose their internet service or their PC crashes.

    A few forums I'm on delete inactive accounts after the 1st week, if they haven't posted.

    I have a second 'bondaholic' I joined but then, My PC broke and I couldnt get on it again, I have no idea what the password or email was, So I made a new account and still have it.

    There is not much we can do if the memberlist is sorted through now, We cant change are usernames.
