Deleting of inactive Accounts.
« on: July 19, 2004, 04:10:10 PM »
this is just a kind of pet peeve of mine, i see that there are very many users who are inactive, i didnt know if anyone else thought about this but i think that if there are unnotified inactive users over like 2 or 3 months that there accounts be deleted, this is just a suggestion if no one else thinks the same its ok, i just thought id bring it up, thx.

Personally, I can't stand when I know I have an account at a website I don't visit very often and that account gets deleted e.g., hotmail. I hate having to reactivate that account every few months.

IMO, there's really no reason to delete an account because of inactivity, only do it if they've done something bad and get banned.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Hey, I was one of the first people registered here and then I "refound" this site when the 100ml was arround....So I'm glad it didn't get deleted!

I don't reply that often but that shouldn't mean my account gets deleted :)

Send a reminder email every 30 days to inactive accounts. 30 days after the 3rd email, frag them.
