Should Inactive Accounts be...
1. Removed from the system.
2. Name changed to make other names free and the owner emailed

Nothing..Ppl can leave and end up coming back.
they ARE removed after a year or something or they used to be. :]
1. Removed from the system.
They say that the server keeps getting bigger, so why not remove members.
I think though before they remove them they should give the inactive account owners and email stating if they do not active their account within a week it will be removed.
Nothing. When you create an account you should withhold the right to decide how often you use that.
And what if it was staff or something who was moving house and didn't have a connection for a few months or something? Due to circumstances, should people lose their accounts?
I'm talking about a year, and/or 0posts, 0threads.Quote:

might as well keep it in place. if that person one day returns they may use it. plus it allows people to have more and more intresting names
Because I was putting my opinion in, Problem? It isn't the end of the world ;sQuote:

All unconfirmed members are deleted anaually, I believe.
Put yourself in the person's shoes, Let's say you've lost your internet connection for 6 months, and there was a 4 month inactivity limit, you also had no way of getting onto internet on a different computer - therefore, completely restricted from the forum.
You come back after 6 months to HxF, and realise your account has gone, you didn't have many posts on there, but it was a start, and also you realise the name you had originally, has also gone.
How would you react? :rolleyes:
You never know when a user may return ;)
What if a user only posted in the spam forum :) Left and decided to come back. 0 post count.
you should of worded it right,
I think he means the user has 0 posts or threads and HAVENT logged on for a year at least.

Perhaps Earthquake should either start again being more specific or ask a Smod to edit the poll.

What booking it a year in advance? Well thats hardly fair either for people who are active on the forum either. I would estimate that the odds on somebody returning after logging on once and never returning are 1000s'/1Quote:

I think maybe those accounts which have not been online for a long time (a year or so) and have no posts should be deleted, as the owner obviously doesn't care about the account...
Nope, too much hassle? Not a big issue.
I agree.Quote:

MAD votes on his polls so why can't Earthquake?Quote:
