I am not trolling! I got this from member list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=195248;desc
30 users per page × 6509 (number of pages with 0 post) = 195248 (195270 now, some users registered)

Maybe they forgot their password
But I'm curious how long your account must be inactive to be deleted?

Your account won't ever get deleted I believe. This is just how forums work. You can come back in 2-3 years and start using your account again.
The number is surprisingly high.

The forum should wipe them. I bet they took a lot of good usernames lol.

Some forums prune innactive members but this one doesn't. I think if somebody registered an account but never posted it could be pruned after a certain ammount of time. Most were probably created by bots or something anyway.

Over 130,000 members have posts at this forum.This indicates it is indeed a huge forum. Still 60% members have no posts which is strange.

195k out of 325k with zero posts
At the other extreme you have folks like phnnaeus gage

Crazy number. I wonder why people create so many accounts and never use them.

That kinda makes sense, they probably come back and sell them just cause user names can be used for a certain company.  who knows.

I think the way things work right now
If you have an old and inactive acct you can return load up lots of low value posts and shoot up your activity level quickly
Therefore valuable

I don't think It works like that. If you have inactive account even for 1 year and then come back, you'll still get 14 activity per 2 weeks period and no more. So how can you "shoot up" your activity level quickly?

[maurya78]

BitcoinBadger, the way you describe it makes logical sense and is the way it should be
I recall another thread where my thesis appeared to be confirmed
Would be nice if somebody could authoritatively confirm or deny

[marife01]

I got more interested on the reasons why this number is huge.
I agree that one reason is maybe they forget the passwords but I think it could be retrieved by forget your password link, right?

[mexxer]

People who join and never post like alt's,wrong user,leech is always high. but this one is a world-record.

How can you shoot up your activity quickly? It goes up the same for everybody doesnt it?

No you can't. The activity increases a maximum of 14 every 2 weeks. You have to post in these periods to get it to increase.
