Just a little warning that I will start deleting members who have not posted from today, I will start from page one of the members list and hopefully do a page a day, there are 47 pages of members. I will email the newer members to remind them to post but some of the older members have joined the site and that is the last time they looked at the site as well, so please if
you have no posts as yet then please say hello in the welcome section, welcome.html

No I'm just deleting those with zero posts who joined four years ago, some have not been on since they signed up and others have not looked at the site for two years.
I have sent out two emails to everyone with zero posts about this, a few have posted since which is nice. I'm just trying to encourage others to join in.

I had a bit of a purge this morning and deleted 100 members, I have left one or two with zero posts who have looked at the site in 2011. The first 10 pages of members is now sorted.

I have just deleted another 72 zero post members, there are a few new forum usernames now available. Balloon Girl and Twist Girl are two I remember.
If you look from page 12 upwards any names with zero posts will also be available soon as well.

I have stopped deleting till the end of the month now, this is the email that will be going out to new members which will hopefully encourage them to join in with the forum;

A warm welcome to the forum, I have just activated your account. We like to promote the forum as an active forum and would ask you to take your time while looking around, please ask if you are having problems navigating the site. There are instructions on how to re-size pictures to post although we have just added a new feature where you can upload without re-sizing.
You can also upload from a mobile device if you add the app Tapatalk which I believe is £1.99.

If you are trying to re-create a balloon sculpture and are struggling then please post your attempt and then members can advise where things may be going wrong for you, the idea of the forum is to help improve our wonderful art form.
We do offer free advertising on the find a twister section, if you would like to take advantage then please send the advert in with the correct size, 245 x 169.
Thanks for joining the site and we look forward to your contributions, please try to use the search button for any specific needs and we would ask you to put your first post up within a month of joining. Thanks

well I got your smoke signal and am here over the pond "as it were"  I haven't done balloons professionally in many years and would prefer not to be deleted.  Although I haven't seen anybody do my pig balloon which Joe LaMonica appreciated(as I said a long time ago.  I am interested in going to ballooon conventions and possible brushing up.  The last slass I went to the individual learned more from me than I from him but that's the nature of our comraderie.  Take care and thanks for the warning.
