Can I garner any support for a simple node database cull? Something along the lines of any nodes where the age is greater than 1800 days (approx 5 years) and their status is still only "Interested", "Gathering", or "Testing".
I would think that anyone still at that stage after 5 years has lost interest and the risk of deleting a node still interested is minimal. In the unlikely case that a node still interested (but hasn't accessed in 5 years?!?) is culled, they can surely recreate a new node listing.
With the node database as it is currently, it really is of little to no value and even gives false hope to those setting up thinking there's other nodes nearby.
I've emailed every node within cooee of my access point and haven't heard boo. Some internet snooping even shows some of these people have actually moved house and don't even live at their node location anymore!!

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
Just to confirm - you've definitely not
participated in the Melbourne Wireless group
in the past? I'll let the group know -
hopefully someone from the group can remove
your E-mail address and you wont be bothered
any more.<br>
</div>

I'm about to move onto Bowen Road (node
KVW). Just wondering if you were still
participating in the Melbourne Wireless
group?<br>
<br>
If you are interested, our line-of-sight
isn't all that bad - it wouldn't be the most
challenging wireless setup (we're .35km
apart, apparently), but could be a good way
to get started.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
