Today, as I was browsing through PMC, I thought to myself, "Maybe I should change my PMC name... to something evil... like Black_Doom. I wonder if that name is taken..." So I checked, and there was a member of PMC with that name. However, the member appeared to be inactive for 3 months now.
So, after a quick check, I found that there were at least 5 pages of inactive members!!! Some for over 6 months!!!
Now here is the question I thought of, should these members be deleted from PMC?
Pro's:
Con's:
A possible solution:
Not that this is really a "problem" but it could be resolved. Maybe PMC could devise a system where if:
...then this member could be deleted, I think this could make room, make new members not as intimidated by the large amounts of other new members.
Now... why level 8? I don't know, it seems like if you got to level 8, you must have had a good impact at some point and that means they could do it again.

Pro's:
- New members would be have a much easier time finding a name for their PMC.
- Members considering changing their name would also have an easier time.
- The "Members" Page would be much less cluttered and a lot more organized.
Con's:
- If the member is ever inspired to come back to PMC they will have to start over
- Their submissions would be deleted.

Not that this is really a "problem" but it could be resolved. Maybe PMC could devise a system where if:
- A member is inactive for 8 months (By inactive I mean they have not commented, viewed, or submitted anything)
- They are below level 8
...then this member could be deleted, I think this could make room, make new members not as intimidated by the large amounts of other new members.
Now... why level 8? I don't know, it seems like if you got to level 8, you must have had a good impact at some point and that means they could do it again.

That's kind of harsh dude :D
You would have to start ALL over again!!
I would say 6 months is good enough time to send them a reminder, But then again PMC would lose a load of members because most of them don't come online anyway.
