I also think that Drupal is probably the most secure of all the different platforms. I've been porting a customer from Drupal to WP (because WP is easier to maintain donchya know) and I've been kind of horrified at the WP code.

Hi to all, Actually, I'm not asking which CMS is better or something. I use Drupal for almost 6 years but, still, I would put myself to "higher beginner" level. 90% of my websites are small, simple, intro websites I built for friends and "clients". Mostly with News, Basic, Events/Calendar, Webform, Forum... content types. Pretty standard. So, my question is "When is Drupal to big for a website?" When would WP fit better? Or even when would home-made-code fit better? Where is "the line" you step over and have to use Drupal? If a small nonprofit asks you to build small website with some basic stuff, for free if possible, would you still build it on Drupal?
Thanks for any input, afan
No! Drupal is not too big, even with a small number of modules, it's not huge. It is more complex and far more secure. But it has one drawback. It loads all the code and modules into server memory, even when some modules are needed intermittently or less. This has caused me php memory issues for years and unfortunately modules rely on modules which rely on modules to get one small thing done they are all loaded.
If, and I stress, if, you can find a Drupal theme too suit the purpose, stay with Drupal, I would.
Inspection shows that of hundreds of Drupal themes out there they all, with minor color or display variations, look virtually identical. Building or modifying a Drupal theme is, for me a horrendously complicated problem, and I've been doing it for a number of years.

Folks: I get a bunch of folks who enter their email and name to register on my drupal site, but they never visit it. Either the email is not valid, or they do not try to respond to the verification email that is sent when they try to create an account.
I would like to be able to list all of these folks, so I can cancel their pending account. I suspect they are spammers who give invalid email addresses, or don’t bother to finish the signing process.
As it is, I have to tediously go through the list of users to find those who never log in. If there was a way to filter that users list for the “never” word as last login time, that would be great.
Is there a module for this?

Maybe "views bulk operations"? you could put filters in place, and then have a bulk operation to delete/block them.

Hi Bill,
You could give one of these modules a try: https://www.drupal.org/project/user_scheduled_delete https://www.drupal.org/project/user_prune (if 6.x) https://www.drupal.org/project/inactive_user
If you are familiar with building views, I would recommend that you build a small view that would allows you to filter for unverified user accounts older than X days and use Views Bulk Action ( https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations) to cancel those accounts.
If those registrations are coming in from bots, you could consider adding captcha to your user-registration page.
Thank you Tanay

Go to the admin/people page. Click on the "last access" column heading; all the "never" people will show up first. Check them off then pick "Delete" from the select box and then the Update button.
You can also use Views and View Bulk Operations.
