This may sound mean and everything, but that's just me......
I shadowslayer propose the idea that all "pointless" accounts shall be removed until they log back in. The idea is that there are so many pointless accounts that I'm starting to believe that half of them are fake. So I propose the idea that all profiles that [glow=red,2,300]HAVEN'T[/glow] said one thing will be deleted at the proposed date of December 15 will be removed form this form and all others, to see how many accounts are used and the whole gender thing.... please to kick me too....
P.S. I just wrote a bill so sorry if it sounds weird

If we removed accounts, people wouldn't be able to log back in at all.
I don't see the point. They might want to come back someday, no point in forcing them to make a new account, and it's not hurting anyone.

It doesn't really hurt anyone to have useless accounts floundering around. Some of them do reappear after a long silence as well, so it would be a bit harsh to just delete them all willy-nilly.
You can sort the members list by top posters if you want to see what the gender balance of active members is.

What's so horrible about all the 0-posters on this board? It's not hurting anyone and one day some might find the time to post something. Deleting their accounts would seem incredibly rude and after some time no one would want to be a member of this forum.
The accounts will stay.

I don't understand your obsession with the gender balance. Get over it, or get therapy. No one is out to get you. There's no conspiracy here. We're not all secretly guys determined to mess with your head. And girls aren't contagious either, so it's okay for you to hang out with them online, it won't make you less of a man. In case that's what you're afraid of?
Thanks for not deleting my inactive, EVIL, probably fake account, sis.

uh, oh.... I don't want to get in this...... at take a look at it I said it wan't imidiate AND you posted too! so it really woulden't affect you and that was what I was thinking, if you where paying attaion you COULD post to get your name out, and it's annoying to me looking through the name list and seeing a lot of pointless accounts

I don't want to get in this...... If you don't want to get stuck into an argument, then don't cause it in the first place. Then don't look at the name list.

Then you're in luck: only Maliris has the power to delete other people's accounts and Maliris says the accounts stay. End of discussion.

It's probably just a pet peeve of his, nothing to get so worked up over. Though, lisajane does have a point, if you don't like it then not looking at it would be one of the quickest solutions to the problem... Clearing out accounts may be effective on other forums that get more traffic, but here the suggestion just doesn't benefit anyone. Besides, people might come back and have to build up their rank again- that would piss a lot of people off. I still don't understand what you have against girls... Are you gynophobic? Speaking of, I notice that you seem to be stirring things up lately. You tend to word your posts in a way that makes little situations anger everybody... I used to do that a lot and I probably still do sometimes... (Remember when I pissed everybody off more than usual? Ah nostalgia.) *ahem* Anyway, maybe you should think about how your posts are going to sound to everybody when we read them. The Internet doesn't convey intonations well. It might stop inivting Raihor's smite stick, anyway....

Shadowslayer, it may interest you to know that of the top 60 posters on the board (and that's going all the way down to people who have only made 11 or so posts; we are a small forum), only 33 are listed as female. Even if one assumes that the few people who chose not to list their gender are also female that doesn't even make our active population two-thirds female. The 5 top posters are female, but the balance across all of the significantly active members is more or less even.
I hope that helps with your gender balance questions.

And before this escalates into yet another argument-thread:
