							| Hi everybody, I was just wondering... I noticed just now that out of the 240 something pages of Israeli teachers registered on this site, only the teachers on the first 40 pages have actually got at least one point. All the others have no worksheets to their name (and of course no points either...) I am assuming that a similar thing is happening for other countries. Only for Israel we �re talking about some 200 times 10 teachers who registered but never actively tried to use their account (they have not uploaded a worksheet. ) That takes up soooo much space on the site... maybe it is possible to have a system where an account gets removed if the user does not upload a first sheet within say 2 months or something.... that would make the site less heavy....( I think many of the non active users simply registered before they knew they had to contribute and they gave up on it as soon as they found out...) |  7 Nov 2009

							| Hi Marion, 
 I completely agree with you. I did such investigation some time ago and saw that there are sooooooo many "empty" accounts. I don �t see the point in keeping these accounts but maybe Victor does...

							| Some of us, a while back, sent money to help buy a new server. The old one was over loaded. I totally agree with you that there would be so much more space if these inactive members were deleted. At least Victor wouldn �t have to go out and buy a new server immediately.
 There �s no reason for taking up space that isn �t used.

							| Hi everyone! After reading Marion �s post I started doing some research too!!! And to my surprise I came out with these results:     10586 members with 0 points - 0 contributions (Im talking about Argentina, of course)  almost 1300 members with less than 30 points  Shocking, don �t you think?   Therefore, I absolutely agree with Marion, Baiba and Libertybelle.   Hugs   Silvia   |  7 Nov 2009

							| I �d like to know if Victor is the only person who pays for this site to exist! (Can that be made public or is it a state �s secret?). I wonder as I �ve often thought that it would be good if we could all pay so as to not have all those problems with the stolen and fake recentful zero points members.

							| Sylvie, Repeat: will you tell the rest of us why you cancelled your account? An  �older � member tries to delete her account and repeatedly comes back on the forum to remind everyone of the fact. What �s your problem? I, for one, don �t have a scoobie. Please enlighten us. |  7 Nov 2009
