As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This runs daily to check the activity of members and move them to a new usergroup if they meet certain rules.
Lurkers
If a member has not posted on the forum for a defined number of days (90 by default) then they will be moved from their existing usergroup to the defined usergroup (this can be any existing usergroup, however, you should really create a new 'Lurkers' group
Inactive Members
If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days (180 by default) then they will again be moved from their existing usergroup to the defined usergroup (this can also be any existing usergroup, however, you should again really create a new 'Inactive Users' group.
Only members of a defined list of usergroups are checked for inactivity.
If a member of the Inactive usergroup returns to the forum, or the Lurkers usergroup posts again, and auto-restore is enabled, they are automatically restored either to another pre-defined usergroup (by default this is usergroup 2, Registered Users) or to the usergroup they were in before they got initially moved. Note that if you use this option then you really must have seperate Inactive and Lurker usergroups, otherwise you are going to get in a mess.
Any of the options above can be disabled if not required. All options are in ACP > Options > Inactive and Lurker Members
To install simply download the file and import in vbulletin using the product manager.
Note: The move of inactive users is done once per day as part of the existing vbulletin daily update cron job. The restore function should be pretty much instant. Also, this works purely on the Primary usergroup, secondary groups are neither checked or altered.

Active Members Time Cut-Off
Enter a number of days here that represents a threshold for 'active' members. If a user has visited the board within the past number of days you specify, they are considered 'active'.
after the installation i filled in the form for the right user groups in the cp
so normal users should be moved after 30 days of not posting
to a different user group that group is called lurkers at my forum
its working ,but it keeps changing back the lurkers to the normal user groups within 10 seconds ,its not working how it should be ,its like a loop here
ill ad a screenshot
perhaps u can see something wrong?
thank you
Its because you have set the Inactive Group to "Lurkers" as well - and turned on the Inactive Restore option, so its restoring people in the Lurkers group when they visit. Disable the Inactive Restore.
