"Expired Members"
When you look through the member list, there are over 120 who have never posted. At least one of these has been a member for over two and a half years, and has no profile. I realise that there must be some who are interested only in reading, but surely many have stopped visiting and are simply causing clutter in the site.
Should we be filtering out members who don't use the site? If so how? My suggestion is that any member with no visit to the site for 6 months loses membership. If they are keen, they simply have to rejoin.
How do others feel?

Wow!......that list is quite interesting. I've never looked at it before. It brings back memories of all those contributors who have not said anything for ages. I think we should keep them all on, or perhaps have two lists. One for up to date contributors and the other an archive of past contributors.

If Martin you like many others have never looked at the list before why change it, it would be a lot of work and have to be checked regularly.

Fine, leave it alone then. I don't mind either way.

I visit this site most days to see what is going on. Some postings are interesting but quite a lot are not. The constant 'one line' responses between certain members make it more like a chat room and therefore not that interesting to other members. When I want to be heard I make a contribution.

I have visit WOL for the last 3 years now, if you look again you will see that I was one of the first 10 members. and would miss it very much, so if it's all the same to you i think i'll stay around a bit longer.
