Hello Maule buddies, We (Andy, our new Administrator and I) are cleaning up the Maulepilots.org user database.

There are a lot of bot user records and spammers who never got activated but show as members and there are a lot of accepted members who never logged in reaching back 12 yrs ago....

Please check in the upper right corner whether you are logged in, if you are not, please do so to avoid deletion.
Anyone who has posted in this forum is safe from deletion at this time.
At this time only user records of users who NEVER logged in or haven’t logged in in years, will face to be eliminated.
Thanks gals and guys

I cleaned up all of the bogus spammers from "England". There were 7,000 of them so it took me a while. My plan is to delete the oldest user accounts that have never logged on and have 0 posts. Our records go back to 2006 and I'm going to do one year at a time. Those who have never logged on or posted don't need a user account so I don't think this will adversely affect anyone who is active on the forum.

Andy, thanks so much for that tedious work
For a while I cleaned up 100 a day, but it was an endless job till the mass bogus signups didn’t target us anymore.

I agree, Kirk. This is the most useful site on the Internet for Maule owners. We'll try to keep it that way.
