That's what I'll be doing. Gradually.
There are over 1,000 members who haven't posted at all.
I'll be starting with those who signed up over a year ago but still haven't posted anything.
I don't expect a member to post the same day he/she signs up though.
I think it's OK to give them a reasonable time to get used to the Forums before they post. Like maybe a few months.

- Not all members have their profile set up to notify them of a new Private Message by email.
- Not all members have their email address set as "visible" to other members.
- I could look up the email address that they used to sign up with, but if they chose not to be notified by email, or if they set their email address as "hidden" from other members, then I would feel uncomfortable emailing them directly with a warning. That would be violating their right to privacy.

In other words, the Notice above (and in the other Forums here) is their warning notice.
If they check the Forums here, they can't miss seeing the Notice.
If they don't check the Forums here, then I'll assume that they aren't active members here any more.
