think_too_mut Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 KS, A very good move. Just say somewhere (at a prominent place) no credit card, no phone charge, no download software...You know how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Jeff, The reason for cutting inactive members would be what KS mentionned in the first post of this thread : to get a better overview..... As for whom to cut : I suggested months ago to cut loose all non-active members who have not logged on at all like say 4 to 6 months........... Then again, up to KS to decide that, no reason to cut away people like you, otherwise there would be no board, right ? Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Says khunsanuk: Hi, "Another suggestion : can you cut loose all 'members' that have never or raraly accessed the board ?" Yes, I can. However, I kinda dread using the script since I don't want to accidently delete posts. The alternative is to do this manually, something I dread even more. Sanuk! Isnt there a way to have a "restore" script to solve that problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 KS, I hope you wont cut off me! I am one of these bad users who almost never log in but who reads the posts almost every day. I have no problem to be forced to log in for reading. I hope you wont cut off people who dont post a lot. In my case, I really appreciate this forum and i think i learned a lot, but as a newbie (3 trips, soon 4) I just dont know anything meaningful to contribute So i prefer to read what men and women who are wiser than me are posting Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 KS Can I suggest that you make it very obvious that registration is anonymous. In my case I was a little nervous signing up to this board partly because of the subject matter. Also, I have a tendency to be a bit protective of my internet privacy and I am sure there are many people who think like me. In my own case, I did browse the board for several weeks before signing and only did so when I felt confident to make a contribution. I really cannot see the benefit of deleting members who haven't logged-on for a specific period, as suggested. Do the inactive accounts cause a problem?

pattaya127 Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 I don't know. I think you provide a great service out there, with this site. I also believe many people need a little acclimation to the board before they want to sign in. Of all my "thai connected" friends (not met thru nana), most visited for a long time and still only are, though i urged them to sign in. it may cut off a whole strata of internet users.

khunmi Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 I would think that the sponsors would be a bit upset. I would be. Obvious the people that don't log in can't be bothered wich will mean less traffic, less people to read your sponsors adds. Not a good way to do business. More people, more chance of them going to Cathouse, use bodygaurd ect.... just a thought khunmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CondomKing Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Yes, what Khunmi just said... Eventually, the result will be that less people will see my ad less often. So, unless it's really important to make the change, I for one, would rather that the format stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less people might see your add that might be true but I would think the people that are here in LOS or are going to come here will sign up anyway, They would be the people that would be the target market and potential customers for Bodyguard ,Cat House etc,Just a thought from a marketing point of view !! from a Satisfied Body Guard customer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hi, A valid point, and since I am able to track ad views / page views I will be keeping a close eye on this. Should this change drastically, I will contact you and I am sure we can work out something mutually beneficial. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
