I see so many great user names taken by people who made an account for a certain purpose which was not for the forum, necessarily[. . .], so what if those user names could be deleted after a certain period of time of inactivity (say, a year? or longer..). I think it would help clean up the database or w.e store all the usernames, etc -.- And it would be sweet to get those great names out. There could even be bids on the user names once they're out in the open [with proceeds to njaguar, ofc].

This will never happen since there were Users that came back after 4-5 years

While I do agree that such users should be deleted since most of them registered for the site because of a function that it no longer serves, it will never happen, just like it never happens on any forum.

No, it will never happen unfortunatly, Although i think it would be a good idea, for example people that have never been logged on since the day they registered, and they have no post no info nothing added - they got nothing to loose by createing a new account if they ever decide to remember to come back. And becouse nowdays multi-accounting has became a big problem, the names running out as jsp rapidly growing.

But yea, it wont happen smile.gif

Yea, that's a good point. They have nothing to lose by creating a new account, because letting them keep an early join date will just mislead people to thinking they are more trusted, etc, when they've actually just started using the site.

What about this [I know it would be difficult, but..] email the inactive users so that they have to respond to keep the account alive.


Yea, i have thourth of that too - but i didnt write anything about how to solve this becouse i dont think Paul is thinking about doing this smile.gif
And about the trustedness, people get TT by showing that they are trustworhy and some people shows that in a year of there registration.
The mods will keep an eye on him see if his a respectable user - and he will have to proov himself and then they will reward him - the join date i dont think gives you an advantage what so ever.
