Just at thought

Novaload.net needs money from donations for more bandwidth right, and don't get me wrong, I love this site and will pay some but I just looked and 4964 of the roughly 7000 members have never left a single post and by deleting these accounts surely more space will be freed up. I don't really know anything about bandwidths or anything but it seems to make sense to me. Ignor this idea if it won't work but it was 'just a thought'

[dave.gsi]

thats what i thought. apparently it doesnt work like that though :?

[Fester]

the cost comes from the data being accessed on the server and being sent to the users machines. static accounts sat there doing nothing dont take up any of the bandwidth as there is no data being transfered hence no cost impact.

[chenco]

Oh right. Told you I had no idea. :lol:

[Aragorn]

they will however affect database performance and slow the site down a bit which aint a good thing

prolly find removing them will be a serious amount of hassle tho

[chenco]

Yer true but trying to find a member in the members list is also a serious amount of hassle as over half are just retarded people who join then never come back to the site. :evil: Would removing these members speed the site up alot?
