members with unconfirmed emails

[Daniel]

I was about to send out an email to all my members when I realized that 563 of my 3,533 members don't have confirmed email addresses. That's about 16% of my registered users who've never posted and are unable to do so.

Is this a normal amount, or is it exceptionally large? Would you recommend sending emails to those who haven't confirmed their email address asking them to confirm?

it is perhaps a good idea to prune unconfirmed users which are older than x weeks/months. so users simply can re-register when they want to post and its possible to free usernames which other user can use.

I'd say 16% is normal...maybe a tad above average.
