The whole avatar thing got me thinking. I started scrolling through the entire membership list to look at other avatars to see what they were like. I noticed that there are a lot of "members" who have not logged on since 2005. There may be some from even before that. What is the policy on that? Are they just left on there forever or is there login name "retired" or "recycled" after a certain period of time?

What was interesting was the number of people who had not had activity in a very, very long time AND only had a couple of post. Makes you go hmmmmmmm..

Alot of people just read the website, but I have a feeling there are alot of one hit wonders that make up a login name just to put something out there, then they never login in again...

Yeah, but my questions still have not been answered. Are the names retired if they have not logged on since 2005 or even before that? What is the "policy?"

Twist with over 7,000 posts i think your hands can get put into the hall of fame when they retire. First ballot.

To be honest I didn't know it until I read your post. I don't watch that post counter. I just post. Thanks for the Hof F ballot nomination. Do I get a yellow jacket?
