We need more organizers to add their votes. Meetup will respond to high vote count, not time.
I REALLY NEED this feature ASAP. Hoping it'd be available soon, I stopped culling for awhile. Now one of my groups has more than ~200 inactive, another 360. HOLY S**T, can you imagine how long it will take to individually remove 500+ members. Oy Vey !

How do we get the Meet Up Team to add this feature? The idea has been around since 2010 and still it's not a feature.

This idea has been around since 2010. Why hasn't it been engineered or programmed?

YES! I have inherited a large group with 2000+ members, and looking at the stats, ~300 members have attended events, and many haven't visited the page in over a year.
There should be a function that allows Organizers to sort Members by Last Date Visited, check a box "Remove Member" and then delete those rows of members - much like how you delete emails in your In Box! Please make it happen! -

This would be SOOOOO useful! My group currently has 4,000 plus and every month i spend about an hour doing 1 off deletes of inactive members. Such a waste of my time, but I want the member count to represent a true number.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add this feature ASAP.
Dear meetup HQ - what you seem not to understand is that you are preventing new people from joining groups. When they see ~500 members for which only 5 attended the last meetup, that screams - "Dead / boring / defunct / poorly organized group"
Tis far better to have a few active members than a ton of MIA's.
As organizer, It is by far the most aggravating function I have. The longer I put it off, the fewer new members we gain - it is literally hurting my meetups.
PLEASE PLEASE fix ASAP !!!!

Agreed. I have a meet up with over 900 members, most of them inactive. We've just implemented annuals dues and I need to purge the non-payers.

As an Organizer who took over a group with many "inactive" members .... I concur totally with the vast majority of other Organizers ....... OFFER BULK MEMBER REMOVAL !!!!

This is an ESSENTIAL for organizers, but Meetup *WILL NOT* enable this feature, as it would dilute their total numbers. Hope the folks at MU HQ prove me wrong--and soon!"
So what of their numbers?? We all get that meetup is subscription-based. But aren't the organizers the one's paying??

Yes. Yes. Yes!! Sure, I've got 630+ members, but "really" how many do i have?? Lots of "no-show" abusers, and (I guess) some really anxious members that can't seem to make it to their 1st meetup, even after a year has past. C'mon, get with the program!

This is something I desperately need. Meetup remember the Organizers pay the dues so make this easy for your actual paying customers!!!!

This is a common issues on all social networking sites. Ex facebook.
I am guessing they must get some kind of revenue based on head count or else all social networking sites would have this delete feature; but none of them do.
Whats interesting is that members who never log on never seem to attend events.

I'd rather have a small but active group where I know there's no lurkers. Every few months I have to take 30 minutes to an hour of my time to delete people who have never attended a meetup. A batch/bulk delete or automatic delete of "inactive over x months" setting would be immensely helpful. And why should meetup care how many members we have in our individual groups? We as organizers are paying for the hosting service, it should be our prerogative.

This is exactly what I would like as well. I have a fantastic group of core members but there are still half that are serial members who never visit or attend anything. It's SO annoying and time consuming to delete these folks. And if they don't check their email or are blocking email then they never see the warning/reminder I send a week beforehand. We should be able to delete in bulk with one note to all that gets to them as an "admin message, cannot block" regardless of their privacy settings. If we send messages to the list based on activity, why not be able to delete them as well? I could care less about my numbers as they are high enough and word of mouth gets me new members all the time. Quality, not quantity.

Why is this so hard to implement? Removing inactive users is a such a pain! Fix this meetup!

They have thought of it.... this used to be possible a year or two ago and then they revoked our power, making it very time consuming to accomplish the task!

Oh come on everyone, don't you want to see large numbers for your meetups?
You'll need it when a similar but inactive group competes directly with you then you'll regret it - it's just part of the marketing/pr you'll need for discovery of your group. Don't you check out the larger group when you search on a topic?
