Going to be taking a trip back up North next month and didn't feel like lugging the big board around so I did this......

Do these inactive members get a notice prior to deletion?
I usually bust up a bit when I see this forum's automatic birthday announcement for a member who's never posted before!
I have an MXR Carbon Copy on my board as well. Nice delay. Like it. Then it just up and quit working. No idea?? Ticked me off.
Nope. If they decide to come back, they can do so as a guest or create a new account.

I have a tiny 2 rail board that I use for very small venues or a rehearsal or anywhere I can get by with limited toys. Always have a wah tho! That big SKB board is so heavy too! I still have mine but it sits empty right now, I went with a Voodoo Labs.

I'm sure that there will still be more accounts less than 1 year old that have not come back and might get a birthday greeting, but moving forward, they will only get 1 birthday notice. come back and post or be bannished to the corn field.Seems it's bearing fruit. The lack of messages really cleans things up nice. 
OP
Unfortunately some of the members that were cut usually had a lot to offer, Six String (Terry Anderson) for example was instrumental with helping me out after I took over ETSG, but time marches on and a lot of the guys from there that moved here are pursuing other options and venues.
I reached out to Terry a couple years ago pre-covid. I actually was concerned about his well being after his absence from the forum. Although I did remove his moderator status, the script deleted only people that had not posted in 365 days and had less than 1 total posts. This should have kept all members with
1 or more posts active members regardless of how long it has been since they posted.
In theory, if an account was created and never used after a year it will be deleted. Make just one post and the account won't get deleted.

I talked to Terry about s month ago, he's doing well, he's been out and about playing and just enjoying his retirement.
I'm glad to hear Terry is doing well and he is always welcome here!I talked to Terry about s month ago, he's doing well, he's been out and about playing and just enjoying his retirement.

Glad it's getting some use, it was just to big in my kind of crowded office/man cave.
I am glad to see I am not the only one that likes to run a chorus at the end of the chain. And it's a Maxon/Ibanez chorus
I keep a small PB together to go to my buds to jam on, my 4x12 has moved into his garage permanently. I recently saw an interview & Bonamassa actually now uses a couple chorus in his chain, one sits at the very end of his chain at his amps so you won't know it's there ( I think he even said it's a little unknown secret). He uses it like I do to run a wet/dry rig or stereo & to flip phase, I also use it in Maxon's "doubler" setting with the mix low. Yesterday I watched a long interview with Dweezil Zappa talking about his gear and it seems him and his Dad's main thing is having a phase switch on their guitars as they like the out of phase sound and is key to getting a bunch of his Dad's sounds. Ok getting side tracked & rambling on about stuff I am learning and you guys probably already know
this is the bigger one.

Placement does make a difference!
