I went through and deleted inactive accounts today, removing 775 accounts.
An account is inactive if any of the following conditions are met:
If this affected one of your accounts, I encourage you to re-register it, and become more active in the future. User contributions help to enhance and enrich the community at Susan's Place.
Stats on todays deletions for the curious...
112 | Users who registered but did not activate their accounts in 30 days or over.
275 | Users who registered and activated, but had not posted for at least 3 months or more.
388 | Users who had posted but did not log into their account for 6 months or more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
775 | Total accounts deleted
Basically, I feel that inactive usernames should be available for people to register that will actually use them. I do this from time to time, so if you want to keep an account, make sure you post now and then!
An account is inactive if any of the following conditions are met:
- The account was registered more than 30 days ago, but was never activated.
- The account had been registered more than 90 days, but the user had not made any posts. These accounts are deleted to free up the name for users who wish to post. You don't need an account to read the forums.
- The account had not been logged into for over 180 days.
