Reason for sudden drop in membership numbers
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:26 pm
Hi Everyone,
Just to tell you not to worry if you notice that the number of members has dropped dramatically over the last few hours. A number of people who had previously registered had forgotten passwords and in the process of resetting them it was noticed that a large number of people had registered with the board but had NEVER logged in. These appeared as "Members" in the stats but the accounts were totally dormant. I have therefore deleted any of those created before January 2018 and never accessed. This gives us a better feel for the real membership numbers.
Please note This action DOES NOT apply to any member who has logged in previously but is currently inactive, or any registered member who has logged in but never posted anything.
Best Regards
Redrunner
