Can you just delete accounts that haven't been in use in a certain term limit? It says the board has 28k members yet only about 100 posters that actually post.

The mods are u2, sike, jthig, mary, aexchange, etc. Their job is to moderate the forums when necessary and look into users/posts that are reported. We're all adults here (for the most part), and it's not their job to come down on every single member who utters a naughty word or makes a trollish remark. If you think an inappropriate post has been made, then report it and someone will look into it. There's also an IGNORE feature on this board. If you just can't stand reading someone's posts, then add them to your ignore list. It's really not that difficult. As for the member list, we have a ton of inactive members, but also just as many lurkers. There was also a massive spike in spambots for a period of time, but most of those accounts and ip ranges have since been blocked. Traffic to this site was at an all-time high during the championship season and subsquent offseason. The huge dropoff since then should be surprising to no one considering how frustrating the team has been as of late - both on the court and off - and how spoiled we have all become watching the team rise from the cellar, making significant strides each and every year. Activity on the boards lately has been rather low, so I really don't understand the incessant cries for new mods. What exactly would be the point in that? It's not their job to "liven up the place" with new posts and threads.
This site is fully driven by those who choose to use it. If you think things are getting dull or boring, then feel free to post something new and encourage others to join in. Constantly complaining about the state of the board really serves no purpose whatsoever (and no this comment is not directed to Bayliss specifically). Or better yet, just sit back and take a break from the site. You'll probably miss this peace and quiet after the Mavs sign Howard this offseason and this place completely explodes.
