It's a party here, and all we ask is that people aren't wallflowers. Either bring some chips and salsa and donate, or join one of the many conversations being had. Don't spend all your time at our party doing your own thing in the corner.

hehe, just got an image of 4000 people at a party with 17000 others lurking in the corners and masturbating.
Out of interest, how do you cull lurkers? Is it done manually, or do you use a script? If it is done manually, would you be able to save time by running a script that bumped off everyone who had been registered x days and made y visits, but made no posts? Could you also get it to send them an automated e-mail to explain why they got reaped so they didn't do it again? I know I used to be a lurker and didn't really realise it was a problem until I got the chop. I didn't know why it'd happened so I emailed someone to ask about it. When I realised, I reregistered and started participating more.
