Was searching though the userlist to find my old nickname which I forgot (dont ask me how).
But there are "71884 Registered User(s)."
Im guessing maybe 90% are one time posters, why not remove old names?

This was suggested on the old board (the one the fire consumed) and IIRC, the general opinions were:

1) We should remove those who dont post
2) Why should we do that when some are actively viewing but not posting

Those two were the biggest arguements/debates I remember and ultimately, things were kept as is.

The problem with removing idle users is that some of them come back sometimes, such as myself. Forums usually don't come with a feature to do this task anyway as storage of old data has little, if any, negative impact on site performance.
