EvC Registration information and Active Members

Attention, all Active Members! (If you are reading this, you are an active member regardless of whether you ever post!)I have been going back through our Members List and placing members who have not posted in over two years and/or who have posted fewer than 10 posts on inactive status.My cleanup chore does not suspend or eliminate anyone from EvC...it just makes it so you have to make yourself active again when you sign in....provided you remember how to log in. If you forgot your log-in information, it is a moot* point anyway. You can always get a new password here though, again, many folks just prefer to read without logging in, which is fine also.I encourage all lurkers and current active members who have member profiles to review their profiles and update their information.Take a moment and tell a bit about yourself (in your profile)so that visitors browsing our site can see our diverse interests at EvC.You are of course free to divulge nothing, and can also keep your hobbies and interests space blank.You have the option to make your e-mail addresses invisible, and it is my understanding that Search Engine and spammer web-crawlers can't access information not visible.Our actual active members is probably closer to 1500 than to 3400.Any comments concerning this update are encouraged. (We administrators are currently discussing how long a person can not post and still be considered an active member.Anyone who lurks, is registered, and never or rarely posts...I encourage you to post to this topic, even if you just say aye. It will let me know that you are still an active EvC member (though a lurker! )Edited by AdminPhat, : added details Edited by AdminPhat, : changed mute to moot after listening to my good teacher Rrhain! Edited by AdminPhat, : No reason given.

The chore that I undertook to make all inactive members inactive has finished. Anyone who did not post in 2007 was, with a few exceptions(namely that I recognized your name) made inactive.Anyone who is reading this is active, unless you are lurking without signing in.If so, I just want everyone to know that anyone can activate themselves at any time. The 1137 Active Member figure more honestly reflects the level of participation here at EvC.Just to let everyone know!
