A member of the Forum since February 2009 put the first post after the Admin has been notified to remove inactive users, I think it´s not the best detail possible. Do not have time to participate? Sorry but I cannot believe it. I have to meet my engineering office at least 10 hours a day, meet my family and students too, and I still spend a few minutes a day to my forum (sorry Admin, but I also feel that this Forum is part of me). As me you can find BennyP, Grunf, Dell Brett Roberts, Kamran, Concreteok, and others engineering professionals with full agendas but are efforts to engage and maintain the Forum as everyone can see, day after day.oanm2000
Some of us away for periods of time? if we do, for reasons of health, work, or on vacation, but we make every effort to maintain contact. A comment, a question, a message ... Is it too much ask?
I see positively that members who have never been active now make the effort to stay in the Forum. Leoncito is a clear example in the last days. He is working hard to stay inside. Now, if you want to stay in the Forum, who must make the effort? Admin? Admin must fight for everything to flow smoothly for those who work daily in “our” Forum and for those who just enjoy it? It is the other effort that should keep them inside or is your own efforts? You want to stay inside without contributing anything? without spending anything? Sorry but the argument line is have not necessary substance and no weight (it's my way of thinking)
This space was created for engineers concerned to grow intellectually and professionally, to share information and experiences, not to download the latest structural calculation software to sell it to students or other engineers or to use it until you get one better from free, through the efforts of others, as Timosi, who has managed to create patches to evaluate some engineering packages, without receiving a penny, only our infinite gratitude.
You want to stay in the forum? participate, contribute… There´s no other way

At least I do not post spam or junk to be an active user, I imagine that the engineer who strongly criticizes my situation did not start his career as a specialist or as a master...
I just want to propose another alternative to the elimination of inactive users
I am not speaking on my own but for the many that we benefit from the information on this excellent site to grow as an engineer
thanks
