Marlon - when was the last time you emptied your loft then
I'd be impressed if you had a routine - ours just seems to swallow more and more things - I'm worried about the ceilings!!

Not sure if that's a good thing or not.....I have a loft that desperately needs to meet a skip BUT I'm quite fond of the wife so looks like I'm keeping her and all the "junk"
Some of it's mine

If redundant members were deleted, would their posts be gone too? I'm all for de-cluttering. I find the place cluttered when doing a search for a particular subject and you'll get quite a few threads or too many that are replicated on the subject. Maybe that's why from time to time you'll get people who either can't be bothered or find it a bit of a minefield when searching and so post on the forum only to be 'told off' because it's already posted in archives. I did have between 2 and 3 years away hence not many posts.

Even if someone has their account deleted, there is an option to keep the posts. You will see that when members have asked to "leave" and have their account deleted, their posts remain, unless they've edited them to a series of "."craig3.2 wrote:If u remove people no longer posting,and delete their posts,then some good info for newbies would be lost

Not on this forum but in the past I have contact members who haven't posted for a long time re a thread they started or commented on. You know the sort of thing, asking advice on a mod they did, or the name of a company they used etc.
I always got a positive response.
If we delete defunct members we would surely loose the ability to do this, wouldn't we?
