I dont know how much bandwidth it takes up but why not look at deleting the accounts of people that havent been active in over a year? there seems to be a lot of dead accounts.

The space used is next to nil, and no bandwidth or server resources are consumed. I did clean out 2-year old inactive users a while back, and regret it - it does the site good to be able to promote itself via a high "total # users registered stat"...

For me, which forum I visit most depends on where my musical questions lie at the time. And some of the guys have passed away and there were posts notifying us. I don't know how that should be handled.

If the accounts all had logins and passwords associated w/ them, I'd be concerned for security reasons, but with this type of access it is 'no harm, no foul'.
And for what it's worth, this site is VERY well run. I know from personal experience that you never hear feedback as an admin except negative, so this is just my place to say "thanks" to Paul for all the work that he does in the background (i.e. user accounts, marketing, system/database admin, setting up backups, etc.). Talkbass has been the place where I have learned the most in the last 2 years of playing my bass...
