Possible username clearout?

[leah]

I've noticed on other fansite forums that they've cleared out a few usernames based on certain criteria, things such as inactivity, lack of posts etc and I just thought it was a really good idea.

HabboxForum by far has the most registered users yet over half haven't signed in for a good few months and I thought maybe it was time for a clearout? It would free up some decent names for current and maybe new members to use and it won't be of inconvinience to users who previously used the forum that don't anymore.

Maybe you could delete the accounts of those who haven't signed on for a year, or those who are permanantly banned, even unvarified users?

dont see why not
for the signed in over the last year bit though it should be like people with <1000 posts or something just incase they do come back

I agree.
Now that Habbo have done this and we are merging with other Hotels, there is potential for alot more users with a lot more names so I think HabboxForum should follow this and clear out as many old usernames as possible, especially the ones which have logged on once...

I agree, if it's just a year without logging in, might be too risky...

yeah agreed with jake, under 1000 posts and over a year!
But there could be people who have over 1000 that haven't logged in for like 3 years or something!

Maybe sam/jin could work out the criteria but i definitely think this should be done

well obvs if it was like that then they're more likely to be deleted, but they could still come back so yanoo might be safest to leave them.

Yeah well i know people return cause i did after leaving for over a year

[Special]

I agree, but I think 1000 posts & 12 months is alot of posts & a short period of time

Maybe 500 posts & 24 months might be better?

Yeh not everyone posts all the time some users come on for just 1 section of the forum. + its unfair if someone leaves for 2 years an comes bk an they have their acc lost..

[Titch]

no this shouldnt be done, i know people who left for 2 years and come back, infact alot of people regularly do it if you see the welcome threads, if people come back to find there account gone it would put them off.

Only do it if they registered, didnt activate and have no posts.
