we regularly delete non-active members in order to speed up the site and maintain only active folks on the community (and to buy more time before the 10,000 party!).
We define 'active' as folks who logged on atleast once in the past 3 months.
So 400 more non-active folks bit the dust today.

This is what some of us have been asking for a long time... Bravo! :-)
I hope you'll be checking the log-on stats every month...! Cheers! J.
PS: & let's hope that the 10K party will be better than everything that has happened before! Yippee!

Glad to hear that Non-Active profiles are being deleted. It speeds up the site and improves the community. Sites like MySpace may claim to have millions of members, but to me it seems that numerous MySpace profiles are rarely logged-into.
I can imagine it helps to have the largest number of members possible when pitching GoL to advertisers, so it is nice to see GoL monitoring the quality of the community and not just the quantity. Well done. In my view the definition of "non-active" members could be enhanced further. Perhaps anyone who does not log-in for 30 days should automatically be sent a reminder mail giving them say a further 10 days to log-in....if they don't then delete their profile without question. If they subsequently wish to join GoL again then that is fine, but in my view logging-in once per month seems like a reasonable minimum activity level. In fact, prospective advertisers may like the sound of that concept too. Best wishes, Phil

30 day - 10 day thing ...Been trying to have this idea introduced for ages, but perhaps two months would better with a one month deadline? I know people who are off on assignments for weeks! :-) J.

there are some ppl that use GOL even if they don't live here, or not even close to here anymore, to keep in touch with old friends still in Geneva.
It will be a shame loosing that ppl cause they 'log in' to check on their friends every 4 or 6 weeks, or just because someone goes on sabbatic for 3 months and frankly ... cannot check GOL ... or just like Tasmin can't access the site from work and has to be aways for longer. So .. yeah to a regular clean up but maybe extend the period of 30 days ... (even I don't check GOL when i am on holidays ...) ...
and maybe a button that says aways - remote .. whatever ... so that we know that those ppl would love to be more in touch ,,, but just can't.
