Inactive Accounts

Postby Capellini on Sat Apr 07, 2007 7:14 pm

In order to keep the server clean, from now on, accounts that are more than 6 months old and have no posts will be deleted. There will be no prior warning.

Recent members with designs on lurking, please be aware you must have one post to enter the majority of the site, so make sure you introduce yourself in the Standards and Practices section, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Note: this is not applied to accounts that have been inactive for 6 months but have previously been active, only accounts that have no posts attributed to them. Also note that log-ins do not register as activity.

As in, for what purpose? What goal do they hope to accomplish by looking like they have a lot of members?

Oh, see we don't have to lie to look cool. We are cool, regardless of how many members we have.

i had been wondering about this..."the freaky post here first" thing was probably what caused them to leave.

I myself have pm-ed a few people and told them where to post first.

Seeing as it says right there that you have to post there first, I'm not sure how confusing it can really be.

I generally see people who can't figure that out as the type who like to jump right in rather than read rules and standards and such, and in this community, that's a bad thing.
