News: New Board Feature & Problems
I myself do not know when this was implemented, but it's a neat-o feature. If you look at the top right corner, you see something like:
Users: 7,409 (1,457 active)

It shows how many of the members are actually active and visit regularly. As can be seen, we don't have a lot in comparison to our actual number of registered users...
There's also a check box in the member list searcher that enables showing active and inactive accounts in your searches.
So that's why some people have Italicized (hope I spelled that right...) names now.
Anywho, this is a pretty cool feature. And maybe it'll stop people from bumping threads, especially if they see that the creator of the thread is inactive.
