have see in some others forum to have access to the site u need to register and then after u got 48H to send a post to be valid as a user. Why not do the same on the site as there lots of person who never send a post and also to know abit more about them. What other think?

You can't really force people to post.
Some like to post, some like to lurk.

I do agree with Kevin here.

Some people might lurk for 6 months and then become an active member. Some might just fade away and forget about it. If people wish to post then they will do.

i totally agree their are probably alot of wasted usernames with people registering and then not postin , i think i think when people register they should have to sign in and make regular comments if not then they are deleted

It would be very difficult to keep up with such a method. I can delete accounts manually but i might delete people who enjoy reading and not posting... it's a small community in comparison and i don't think there is too much of an issue with people selecting usenames.
