Post by hierachy »

Is there a time limit that a member can stay idle for, before there account is deleted? If so, what is it? If not do you think there should be one? And what do you think it should be?

Doesn't look like it. Vain has been known to do some pruning, though, IIRC.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Hmmm......it does make quite a dent in our memberlist when you realize we have fully 151 members who've never posted. :?

I prune every now and then but am trying to reserve it for members who have signed up but have never logged in.

That is kind of strange. Is it perhaps members who have mistakenly imput a name or some other information they didn't like and just re registered under a second name? I'm sure there are many possiblities but I'm suprised there are so many. Hmmm... :?

Ur-vile just returned after a years' absence. I don't know about inactivity being a consideration for culling. :?

I accidentally registered at first under the name of "Vain", so if you have a chance feel free to clean up the anomaly. :)
Do you think I like being this dangerous?
