Heh in my day.....

Seriously though. After being around for a lil less than 8 years and starting with just a small group of members. That is nothing short of Amazing!

Is there a timeout on inactive user accounts?

Click on the vBulletin logo at the top left of any page to go to http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/index.php and scroll down for current statistics. Right now it says

Threads: 301,118, Posts: 3,292,963, Members: 82,450

but it'll be higher by the time you read this.

Higher up on the page you can see how many people are on line at the moment. Right now it's

Currently Active Users: 1020 (502 members and 518 guests)

There is no automatic timeout for inactive accounts. We have purged accounts that have never posted from time to time but we have never purged accounts that have posted, even they haven't posted for years.

Is there any way to see how many Gold members there are?

No, and we don't publish that information.

No need. All we need to know is...this is a great place to be.

Kudos...many, many kudos...to Spark for hosting the finest Forums on the Web.
