13 Full Pages Of Members who have never posted anything...

[D1G1T4L3CH0]

13 pages, 390+ members that haven't posted anything at all and have likely been inactive for quite some time... Is there any benefit to registering for an account on the forum if you aren't going to post? Ok, I don't really care, but the forum has seen a lot of slowdowns lately for me. Are these inactive members bogging the server down somehow?

Not really a rant.  Just trying to help figure out some way to help the server stay healthy. heh.

Posting something now.

No, those inactive members are nothing to a MySQL database.  I know forums with tens of thousands of members and they don't have the trouble we do >.>

Considering that half the posts are about people that have a technical issue with TDSM on some level, I'd say that at least half that list not posting is a good sign.

Yeah that's true. I didn't think it could be causing the issue, but I didn't know for sure. I've just started trying to learn mysql a bit on my server, so I really don't know the load it will put on it.

That's one way to look at it.

Haha, don't worry. This was merly on conversation about the performance of the forum, your account won't likely be removed for inactivity.

I don't think the forum has an account expiration policy enabled and I suppose it's not really needed at this point anyway since the forum is still so young.

The bigger the member base, the longer SQL queries take in order to search for a specific server, which can mean longer loading times, longer loading times, or logging in slowdowns.

That's true, but the difference is negligible when in the hundreds.

Really? I get mail.

Forget that (I erased it).  That was cross-server posting (my game community server is the one suffering from that). XD
