Hi, what are you doing with the members?

You are seeing this message because your account is marked inactive.

this damn message appears to me now!

I joined on October 22, 2013 and I have not published anything during 20015 and 2016, Now that I am more active, you do not allow me to rest?

Give me back the category that I won this year!

Davlin changed the way it works. Making 2 non-spam posts will move you back to your original group.

Well it takes 1 post. The point of webflake was a and is a community not just a place for people to leech and download stuff ?

or you could always spend $10 and never have to worry about being an inactive user ever again ;)

I was all like "WHAAAAT" But then I got it ? You can't be all up in this piece without saying hello and thank you and providing some kind of value back to the community. Glad to be back. Glad WebFlake is still here. 

Honestly my set path has led me away from forums, and now they are back and needed in different areas for better cooler things.

During those years, inactivity was based on visits, not content. In other words, simply loading the site was enough to prevent your account being marked inactive. That function is no longer possible with IPS 4.x so we've adapted our Inactivity Policy to be content-based. It's one post a month, 12 posts a year. It really isn't that difficult.

So do i mate :D i don't have time always to be online and make posts. But have some cool stuff to share with you guys :D

It takes less than 60 seconds to log into the site, load a thread, and make a relevant post. Five minutes if you struggle with basic motor skills. Extrapolate that over the course of a year and you get 12-60 minutes taken from roughly 350,400 waking minutes.

We're really asking a lot.

Yeah,it's really without a point,or just to keep more active members not guests.

It's annoying,at least you have people who download things & visit this web a lot.

I'm having the same problem!

If we wanted just downloads and visits, we'd be an archive, not a community forum.

I same, I inactive only 1 month and I lost the rank

Yes, you need to make one post a month to prevent your account being marked inactive.

Is not that mate :D but sometimes you just don't have time. For example there are days that i don't even open my PC at home because i get home late and all i do is have dinner with my wife, make a shower and get in bed. Don't get me wrong is not that i don't like this forum. I love it :D i almost always find what i need here (when i look for IPS themes and stuff.)

All good wishes!
Cheers!

If you can't find those few seconds in the span of 30 days, that's fine. Your account will still be here, just marked as inactive. It's not a demerit or any sort of blemish on your account. It simply means your account will have a few restrictions added to it, such as being unable to download files. If you can't afford a few seconds to post, then surely you can't afford a few seconds to download files either.

That said, we have a significant number of users that conveniently have all of the time in the world to download, download, download but somehow can't find the time to make a single post. Our current Inactivity Policy helps to discourage that. We could be dicks and require that one post to be approved by a Moderator, ensuring that users aren't just flooding our off-topic forum with useless shit but we've opted to be more lenient in exchange for a bit more activity. We've seen quite a few users elect to do something productive and put together meaningful posts, so it's an improvement, even if minor.

I Understand this I also might implement this into my board, it's actually really handy tbh, and it's really simple to change your account back to active just make 2 simple posts on here and it should change back, this is what I'm assuming so I'm not sure why people are butthurt over it haha, but yeah like @Davlin said If you can't afford a few seconds to post, then surely you can't afford a few seconds to download files either. :)

I think the time to mark a user as inactive could be ... 60 days. 30 days is a very short time

So would it then be more helpful to set 2 downloads a day and 60 days span to make 1 single post?

 

Or maybe give 60 days and 2 posts?
