there are 12,812 names that haven't posted. would deleting those names free up server space. or does keeping them help w/ google searches. scionlife is listed 4 when scion is googled, and 1 when scion forum is googled. bored so i was thinking about it.

 

I think some of them might be people that have posted in the past and through archiving or deleting of some threads, their post count might be zero now.

Also, they might be people who just registered to read the info. They may just choose not to post...

I thought about this a while back too... b/c it's nearly half of the users that have 0 posts.

 

Actually, usernames take up so little space in the database that it doesn't make sense to delete them to save space. When one of those people finally decide to post it could just cause confusion down the road. They will wonder why their account doesn't work!

I do delete users that have never validated their account, though.
