I think anyone that doesnt post within a week or 2 of joining, should be deleted. look at the member list. There are like 10 names that have no posts.

Don't kick them out. Maybe after two months.

Noooo! Meh

Leave the silent ones alone. It's like being in a zombie movie. The silent masses advance upon you with glazed and bulging eyes. Shifty Shit-Eating Grin

I don't think that we should rid ourselves of the silenced ones. After all, that would mean I would've been kicked when I went to Alaska. Maybe 3 months........after that, it's no longer vacation. You've moved and forgot your computer, or you've died.
