Basically No.

Activity is not classed as whether somebody posts or not, it is classed as when they log on to the site. If you click on my name you can pull up my profile in the top right corner is my last activty, it has nothing to do with whether I post. If you pull up the member list you will see there is quite few that haven't been active for many years, there is also a good number of those that made no posts. No one has suggested deleting lurkers, or those that post rarely.

:) Happy birthday :present: .

Oh dear, do people not read posts fully before replying. I am NOT talking about people who regularily log on but dont post. I am talking about people who DONT ENEN LOG ON FOR 12 MONTHS OR OVER.

.

I joined back in 2004 and did not log in , I think, for over a year.

If you knocked me off the site then there are 1060 posts that would not have been made.

Probably a good thing if they were you might say:lmao:
 
Now - if I plan to go deep into the Siberian Taiga and subsist there on reindeer and cattail roots for 3 1/2 years without access the intertubes, I'd like to return to BushcraftUK.com and share all of my photographs and experiences. I would like to think I'd still be part of the community, despite having a beard down to my ankles, and speaking only in grunts and squaks.

Just a thought.

Making memories since '67
Actually to get back to the original cause for the querie. There is an option in Vbulletin control panel to set it so only the birthdays of "active members" are shown on the front page.

"Active members" are considered by the forum software to be any member who has logged in during the last 30 days (the number of days can be edited). I have done this on SotP so that members are still members and can come back any time and post but if they have not logged in for more than 30 days their birthday does not show at the bottom of the main page.

As much as anything it stops a huge list of birthdays being listed on the 1st of January which is a common date for people to use if they just want to register and look about but not come back.
