And just so everyone is aware of the scope of this, we're looking
at potentially over half of the node database being inactive old
nodes where the user is no longer interested or active. Now
that's really a lot of useless noise in a database that's meant to
be helping users who are actively interested.<br>
<br>
This sort of data below really needs to be removed...<br>

<div>It's a fine idea. As a first pass:<br>
</div>
- select candidates as above<br>
</div>
<div> - email the address with a "are you still there?"
message<br>

- anything that bounces -> cull<br>

<pre>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>

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>
