The memberlist is now correct!

After deleting users on and off for the past year, we finally deleted, hopefully, all of the spambots or unused accounts. What we did was delete any users who have not posted at all and registered before July 1st, 2014 (about a year after Suyo implemented his spambot system.)
There were a handful of users who were deleted because posts don't count in the LDP, so to fix this we are making posts count in the LDP. In addition to that, to keep user count accurate, we'll be doing this yearly, in March, in time for spring cleaning.

Truth be told, I don't see a reason why we should break with a 4 year old tradition of posts not counting in the LDP. Especially if I'm thinking about submitting 50+ levels with poor effort, or all those n00bish comments which can still be found here and there. I've already seen users who made a bunch of comments with little to no content only minutes after they registered, and mostly they refrained quickly from that because these posts didn't count.

Alternatively, just go to a zero-post-user's profile and check out if he has the "a good start" medal or not. Just my two cents.

It doesn't have to permanently count. It was just an easier way to sort through legitimate members with posts.

The administrator control panel doesn't have very many parameters of sorting; all there is is join date, last active, and email.

I agree. When i logged up here, the first thing I did, was making a topic and getting the first medal, that satisfied me that I have become its nember and people have got knew about my existance here. The members who signed up randomly just hangin out in forums site should be deleted. Mostly they dont even remember the pass and even they forget their username. I was choosing "deathbringer908" but it said it is always there, so i choosed 906.
