Expired cards from my experience

 

There are many expired cards.

The expired cards are shown only for a year.

Whey you check your sent cards on the left, you can see the status.

This is mine. 

Sent Postcards: 4,119
Traveling Postcards: 91
Expired Postcards: 79 (Hide) 
Distance sent: 32,771,221 km (20,363,093 miles) 

I have  79 expired cards in a year so approximately

6-7 cards a month are expired.

I realize that some people are not active any more.

When I get an ID and an address, 

I check the Usename to make sure the person is active.

Last Seen: about  2 hours ago.

It is good.
I am willing to mail the person a nice card.

Sometimes Last Seen: 30 days ago.

OMG, this isn't good. Inactive person. ：（

I am so disappointed.

Make sure the person is inactive.

Make sure the person is inactive.

Form my long term experience, the person don't register my card. ( below)

I'll check them for a while and if they don't show in Postcrossing for a month, 

I don't mail the cards as I don't want to spoil my cards.

I hope to reduce the expire cards.

I got 40 inactive addresses for a month but after I checked them time to time,
it reduced 22 inactive addresses.

It has been more than 5 years after I registered Postcrossing.
Time flies !
