1,000 members! How long did it take you?

[Grover]

Hi,

After 2,5 years (january 2004) I reached the 1.000 members-mark. Recently I decided to force registrations for guests and the amount of members grew rapidly. Upgrading to VB3 helped tremendously also. 1 year and three months later we have now more then 6.000 registrations. I have 20.000+ unique visitors p/m at my site, so basically I have a potential of around 20.000 members....

if thats so, my potential is around 130000 members per month.

Not bad.....

21,000 todate. auto purge every day 3,000 average a day online members.
Been up almost 1 year. around 40 new members a day. using google paid advertising only.

I stopped using number of members as a way to measure my forum's growth a long time ago. We need to keep all records of registrations so I can't purge inactive members and as a consequence the stats show we have 7000+ members since last June. I'd love to see in future versions the ability to auto-remove inactive members from the stats and memberlist but a way to keep their records.... or at least a hack that can do this.

What you do is have them moved to a bannned usergroup.
There is a hack on vb.org that removes users that do not confirm their registration over 10 days and one that moves inactive users. the combo does what you want.
