I would say every 5000 starting with 35K since it's a nice round number.

And the big milestone threads can always be bumped for small milestones anyway.

You mean 1,000 isn't an important level

What is an important level?

Besides, that was the point, the speed in which we increased by 1000 members. Not the 1000 members themselves.

ACK!

Since it looks like Apolyton is going to hit 34,000 members while I'm on my plane tomorrow, I'll celebrate prematurely.

They should delete every member with zero posts who registered over, say four months ago. Start there, then slowly start tightening it. Get rid of all of the inactives.

Don't worry, I had already added 33k to the table (as well as 34k prematurely for today )

Nah, then CFC would catch up with us and might get over their inferiority complex -- we wouldn't want that to happen

Why?


They don't take up much space in the database, and being inactive they take up absolutely no CPU cycles of the server. There is also a problem with defining inactives as those with zero posts - it is possible to be an active off-topicer and have no on-topic posts. Add to that the fact that comparisons between Apolyton and similar sites will be skewed in their favour (unless they delete most of there registered users too). Finally there is the risk of deleting someone who registered but hasn't posted yet. There may be many a lurker that has registered just so they have access to the 2nd page of threads/forums.

Although apart from those trifles it is a good idea.
