Purging older names.

[Thorsteenster]

Do old inactive users ever get purged? If they haven't logged in after a year or two or more they should be purged and give someone else a chance for that name.

I was curious. looking at the member list sorted by last login date, there were a bunch that had the same join and last login date or a couple days after the join date.

I go around to all the forums I can and sign up so I can reserve my name for a possible future interest.

You just wanted my name didn't ya?


If they did that, I would not have my name. :-( I was gone for a year at one point. But I always come home.

Thanks for not deleting me out of the rock crawling community Jason.

I assume that all those unused accounts slow the site down. I would think about deleting all the accounts that havent been used in a year and that are not star holding members.

Alot of people sign up then lose intrest a week later.

and a lot of people gain interest again later on down the track.
its already been said that there will be no purge.
besides, a few idle names and profiles are not going to take up large amounts of bandwidth.
pointless posts do however.

nope a user acount should have no affect on sight speed it is just a unused folder with a name on it.
