Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I always have this messageboard opened in a tab, that and https://www.all-guitar-chords.com/ and youtube are always open

I don't post as often but I do read and look at just about every new post and response.

I remember the night our servers crashed twice when were were profiled on CgChannel years back (or Highend3d, can't remember) when there were only 3000 of us.

Within a week we went from 3000 to like 30,000 members.
(now 140,000+)

Now THAT was a nightmare, hehe.

Can you run a script to check how many of those 140,000 + singed up/wrote something in the last 6 month? that can give a more realistic indication as I see only ~40 - 50 active members. I see enough of Chirone to take the place of five active members - you do spam quite a lot :p .

I kind of dominate the challenge forum currently so I don't know if it's for me to say but I can not remember ever posting spam, besides one post I accidentally posted twice.

Yeah!

and another cool thing is how many non member/ non logged-in members browse around here. I posted a new thread, and within like a day.. I had about 100 views, and maybe 12 replies.

-awesome!

I always wondered if there was something like that in vBulletin, there a script for other forum softwares, but the best one would be one that kills your account after a period of non-use.

Then we would know for sureuser added image

the only problem with checking posts in the last 6 months would be the fact of all those people that signed up and said happy birthday to dave and haven't said anything since.

there is a script / mode for non active users giving an email and then warning ..also vbulletin has a prune utility that is very good ..the newest v bulletin has the greatest prune and spam user ...if you spam alot the admin or mod can just say spam on one thread ..it makes user in active and deletes all his posts
