Did Mark nuke our members?

[Valve Bounce]

Before Mark upgraded the forum, there were zillions of guys logged on all the time. Now there are only very, very few. So I just wonder whether Mark had access to some CSI electronic equipment that nuked most of our members when they tried to log on.

In the Birthdays thread, pino explains that members who had 0 posts in the past year were deleted.

People aren't logging in because they don't like what has happened to the forum. They're voting by leaving. Reputations? Bannishment points? The whole wretched thing has been turned into Euro Teen Chat.

There's a lot of people that had far more than 0 posts in the last year, that you haven't seen around now. I'm outta here myself.

I also think we are logged out if we leave automatically. If we close our browser or go somewhere else on the web, we are not counted as being "on". I say this because I'll see a certain member "on" the list. A few minutes later they're gone, and finally a few more minutes pass and they're back on again. I believe now we are only counted as "on" if we are actively viewing some part of the forum.

The session timeout used to be 60 minutes, it's now 15 minutes. That'll account for the majority of the change.

I love everything about our forum, and Mark has made it infinitely better without my computer dragging on for ages to get on board.

However, if anyone here doesn't like the way it is run, there is an open invitation for these persons to send me a PM and i will direct them to the forum that I used to visit.

Having said all that, may I take this opportunity to say "adios" to all the guys who are leaving; nice knowing ya!

I keep getting logged out, even when I am looking at this forum....
Anyone know why???
Plus, any idea where our PMs have gone??

Have you clicked, remember me?

We started afresh with the PM's, but you can still acess them via the Motorsport Forums archive.

Now you've come to mention it, yes you are vaguely familiar :

But isn't the Remember Me check-box meant to mean you never log in, even when you come back days later? You should still stay logged in for the duration of your session even if it is unchecked. When not using it you will get logged out if you leave the web site, open it in a new window, push BACK too much and assorted other things...
