I fully grasp the lurkers. I have plenty of those that never register for an account. I have thought about locking up the forum to whereas you have to be a registered member to view the content. I've gone back and forth on the idea and have left almost all areas open for public view and a few that are private view that require at least 25 posts to see the information.

As for the sleepers, that may be indeed the case, I know for sure they aren't lurkers. It would be one thing if they weren't all from China, but that's not the case.

I don't purge any users so I guess we shall if anything ultimately happens.
