Basically it appears that the main man is Vance Miller, but he is barred from running a Ltd. company until 2014, so James Holden's name now appears on the Company information. They appear to have 2 factories; one in Oldham, the other in Keighley. You should be able to find the address of the Oldham site somewhere in the thread.

Frankly, whatever you have planned I think will be a waste of time. These guys are professional scammers. Just delet the accounts and move on...

And quite frankly, if I was Mod/Admin I would delete all accounts that had zero posts and were over a year old. Then go through the ones that were left and delete all accounts with zero posts and a dodgy username and that didn't originate from UK or Yurop...
If its tht fella they did a documentary on him he had a running battle with trading standards and kept winning for years before they got anywhere
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

If someone's registered username xgrsxzrw (for example) from Outer Mongolia and hasn't visited the site in 2 years, are they any great loss?

No, only how many times they have posted

And no theyre not any great loss and if you look back a while i used to do admin's updates, including numbers culled.

To separate wheat from chaff requires manual input which takes time. something i have little of at the moment.

To be brutally honest, the kitchen guy is a minor problem.. just Pete takes offence to him as the guy wont make bespoke oak shelving for the H.A.C. garage.. :smt002

Lol


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Again I will offer my web development skillz.

I could make a script that can find (and possibly remove or move to a separate user table so the data isn't permanently lost) users who meet a certain set of criteria. You can run the script as often as you wish, keeping the user count down.

All you would need to do is give me the criteria and a couple of hours to write and test the script.
