Why do I have some members at the top with IDs beginning with ! and no email address, and numbers in brackets. What are they?
When a member deletes their account, their email address is removed and a '!' is put at the front of their username. You cannot create an account with no email address or with a '!' in it.
Because of the Y!G thing, members are not automatically removed.
The reason the entire record is not removed is that it'll create holes in the database - if a Mod looks at the Group's Post history, it needs to display *something* for the poster.
