This means that, on average, every user has written 10 posts. :o Imagine how many freeloaders Olya is pulling with her near-6000 posts! What's the deal with the plentitude of users and the absence of their posts? I demand a satisfactory answer! :evil:
They just can't handle how cool we are :dunno:

may be it's time to flush "dead" users? (with more then 1 year of inactivity)
This idea is disoluted in the air. There are lots of users (which we can't determine) who registered theirselves just for larking over and be able to see the marks of the unread posts.
It should be done that way: all the users with zero of posts or who didn't post over the six months should confirm that they are still here. The other would be deleted. But on the other hand who cares - the zero users do not disturb anyone.
I have to admit that I when I first registered I was just an observer because... you all are intimidating to a degree....
Am I SO intimidating to you? :(Quote:

Hm... Nice move... What shall we do next?

What the...

Come on, let's finish with it!
You won't make me afraid!
Beware!
*takes the dead rat from behind his back*
Step away or I swear I'll thrown it on your head! Or ok, I changed my mind, let's make a deal - we are the same in everything to do with the intimidative things. Yes, now I see it!
Do you want to stop this confrontation? What would you offer in exchange? ;) A dead rat?.. :idea: You make me laugh! 8)
Awright, tough guy... Let's stop it here. For a while. A short-term truce. Я не в голосе to war against thee...
*carfully, takes his gauntlet from the floor and sneaks away*
You must confess that my bagpiper and your jumping wolf are equal in terms of the intimidating. As well as our nicks! :D
I'll watch over the both of you. Behave! :)Quote:

I find 'Ramil's' eye much more intimidating than the bagpipes and the wolf.
After a while it gets kind of trippy with the perpetual blinking...Quote:

I think we need to purge the list of users.
The OP should have added a poll to this topic.
And so begins the MR Inquisition. :lol:Quote:

And the fact that I don't understand much Russian yet... :oops:
:off: just kidding. Welcome!Quote:

Thanks, MilesAway! Please, don't be intimidated by Ramil or put off by Rtyon and Leof whole are complete Russian loonies! We are the best resource of any question you might have on Russia, Russian and beyond! Just remember not to double post. :thumbs:
The OP has added a poll to this topic, especially for you, my comrade!Quote:

I'm not intimidated by the people, since I'm on several other boards and have seen all sorts. I'm intimidated by all the Russian on my screen! Elementary Russian can only take you so far, but I'm trying dagnabbit!
And here comes my vote :)Quote:

Dogs may sleep. Why inactive users here must be eliminated? Is it forum for learners or not? They probably come from time to time and read posts for increasing own knowledges and rarely ask for information they didn't get himself. This forum serve for it. And it would be a big mistake to delete them from the forum. Dixi.
KV, that's not fair. I mean, the options of your poll. I am all for letting sleeping dogs lie. BUT I WANT A COOKIE! :evil:
You don't need to register for simply browsing the forum. Any guest can do that. Besides, there must be some stats that register whether of not a user actually comes here on a regular basis. What's the point in keeping users whose last visit took place several years ago?Quote:

I repeat - there must be some stat that shows how long ago a registered user actually came here. If his last visit was several years ago he's no longer with us anyway.Quote:
