    I ran across a set of admin forums for sale last night and was going to pass them up but I ran into a little money this afternoon and decided I’d go ahead and pick them up. :thumbsup:

    I present the members of AdminHaven and ForumAdvertise to our lovely forum on the web, AdminTalk.

    I have a few small things I want to take care of before emailing the members of these two forums and letting them know what’s going on with all their content.
    I’ve sorted all the post to mix in with our layout, I had to trash about 1,000 post between the two, but we’re still getting some great content and tutorials!

    Help us welcome the 1500 members from these two forums

    I was actually offered these a bit ago also, but I felt the member to post ratio was a little off for my liking. Nonethless, nice buy and hopefully you'll see some of the members return.

    I noticed that too, maybe I should of pruned some of the zero posters before moving them over here.. Well to late now but something to think of in the future.
    There may be a prune user option in xenforo, if so than I'll take a look at it in a few weeks.
    I didn't import the users into our mailchimp subscription, didn't want it getting flagged with to many bounced emails. O.o

    I prune all 0 posts users if they do not visit for 3 months. I am guessing there is a lot in there but hey, you may also get some good members.

    Also, I believe XenForo does not have a user pruning feature that would cater to that. It would be a manual process.

    That wouldn't be all that hard to do manually via MySQL, but I may just wait it out for a plugin or built in feature.

    I'm surprised that this announcement is still open actually, since it was posted in November last year :giggle:
