Invisible Members on UCP

[brum]

UCP claims 19,555 members, now don't get me wrong but when you chek out the member list (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/memberlist.php?) there seems to be many members that seem to have never made a post. There is about every 5th 'member' or so that seems to have never made a post.
I know that no forum could ever trace all inactive, irrelevant members. There are members dating back to april 2003 (when forum started?) that have not made any posts what so ever but (please don't take this the wrong way), maybe there could be a way for them to do some cleaning up. Can they do anything?

Probably a lot of people have become member to be able to see the pics in the forum and don't themselves feel urge to post anything. Everywhere there is such a thing a the silent majority. (And to be honest, not all people that do post are always adding a lot )

edit, nevermind, Henk beat me off the line.

(i'm sure that doesnt happen alot )

[henk4]

why would they need to be cleaned up? There are plenty of people who like to read instead of post. Check out my number of posts, and join date

and the quality of your contributions (see above)

Is your life going so badly that you consider it something to worry about?

it could be considered as an "interesting observation"

It doesn't affect us so I don't care. Even if they did post it may all be useless spam that brings the forums down.

there not invisible, they just choose not to be seen

More members on the forums means more money from the advertisers on the site, and that helps support UCP so why 'clean up'?
