After 6 months you start seeing members who posted less than 10 times, many never posted anything and have not logged in again. Is there any value in keeping these members in the database? With few exceptions I bet not.

I want to start a poll. Please vote your mind. I would like to see Mightyjlr take a look at your input so he can decide which way to go. Personally I rather deal with real data and not stale information. Keep in mind that a member can register again after they been deleted for inactivity.
I agree that it would be nice to get a more accurate list of active members and remove those who don't even log in anymore.
I don't consider the number of posts to be used as a determination of remaining active or not but if they have not logged in in the past 6 months I say remove them.

I voted: Delete members with 6 month of inactivity and less that 10 posts
