328 of them have zero posts.

Hey, JR, ever thought of purging the dross a little? Say that, for example, if the person has no posts and the account is two years old or more, it gets axed?

I have no real motivation to purge any accounts, though. Actually most of them are not bots, but former members of OSY 1.0 who never really posted.

Like TheHitman. Very Happy

The Memberlist function on what's left of 1.0 says there are 139 members. I'm therefore thinking a huge chunk of the 466 members here *are* bots.

By the way, why does it seem like 1.0's been mostly deleted? I checked it a couple days ago and there's only eleven pages of threads archived. There should be fifty-some pages. At least.

Yeah, the OSY 1.0 database seems to be not aging so well. The threads are all there, but they need a "forum fixxer man" to revive them and make them visible again. Sad
