I disagree. If ever there was an occasion for a boardwide email, this is it. Some members who have never posted but are interested in Valiant will welcome the news of the Valiant relaunch for the first time via this email.
Some of them members have been registered since 2004 and nothing - ever - just taking up space
Some aren't just taking up space. :wink:

Hey Im not taking up space I just prefer to remain quite well you know the remove doubt thing
Four posts. Welcome to the boar.... ah heck.

Got it, Greg. :clap:

I suggest an alternate idea where he should delete all the users with over 3000 posts. :lol:

(That's one way for me to move up on the top posts list)

Might as well just delete the site then as the mod will be deleting himself - therefore allowing undesirables into the fold.

Nah, just put me in charge and I'll rule with an iron fist! :twisted:

I could work with Evil Greg... I think he's only posted 20-30 at the most. :hm:

It appears the email has served it's purpose. I've seen several posts from old members who don't normally post.

I was a "space waster" for 3 years after registering, now I'm a Top 20 Poster (amongst registered members).

Lightning Strike was the same, if I recall.

They're not wasting space, just quiet :)
2 outta how many? does not make for a trend, but anamoly or a rare event -- you and LS are rare events - maybe we need to send you both in to be slabbed so we can preserve you both for future generations :hm:
