That means only .3% (aprox.) of all reg. users actully post and i'm willing to bet that a lot of people register, ask a question, get answer and never come back i don't know if they slow the forum down but i know that it has to take up some space on the sever to store all that info... mabey i'm completly wrong :P

This and just about anything else concerning the amount of disk space CG takes up (mostly out of personal guilt), but it has been brilliantly manufactured to take up as little space as possible, considering the amount of stuff here. |

But not an inherently bad idea, though. :) |

While this feature would be easy to implement there seems to be more cons than pros to it.
