    1572 members, to be exact.

    And to be clear, when Lord Ravenclaw said inactive, he meant the members that haven't logged in in 6 months at all, not lurkers who log in, but don't post.

    I for one am glad he did it, I don't think this site needs users who can't even take the time to log in after the join up.

    I have to agree. Either that, or they just didn't want to come back anymore. Or they obviously were too busy. *shrugs*

    I don't think that the site HAS those kind of users. If they don't post regularly, they aren't really a part of the site, are they? You don't include people in a community if they aren't a part of it, and this is as much a community as any place in the world.

    As much? I'm not sad to say that about a half of my day or more is spent on or around something to do with DLP or fanfiction in it. It's more of a community for me then my home town is. Most of the people around me are intelligence-lacking, but I think xcel was the only active member of this site that showed that same level of intelligence -none- who was allowed to stay for more then a month.

    Besides our own little epic holocaust and back to the actual topic of this thread, I've never actually found a legitimate reason for any sort of necroposting unless it's a story that's been updated. That's just my own opinion, completely besides the point, and I was wondering if this was going to be turned into a stickie. Necroposting having it's own stickie with the words baby jesus(shake and bake) on it would get my attention a lot more then the Rules link up at the top.

    Aye I didn't remove anyone actually using their account in anyway. Just newblets who've moved on, etc.

    Seemed stupid to me to celebrate milestone user numbers, when 1/2 of them were throwaways anyway.

    You should have held it off to the 6th, and we could have drawn a shitload of parallels with the bombing of Hiroshima. We could have gone all celebrating with, 'DLP drops the motherfucking BOMB!' and shit. Woulda been hilarious.

    Yeah, oh shit, hilarious, dropping thermonuclear devices on thousands of innocent people. I can't stop laughing. Man what a gas.
