Is there a time period after which inactive accounts are deleted?

    I visit this place VERY rarely, and this is the third time my registration information seems to have been lost. Is there a certain period of time after which inactive accounts are deleted? If so, what is it so I know to log in periodically. It's entirely possible that that is the reason for me losing my account. It's quite possible that the last time I tried to log in was at the end of June last year and I'm positive I had to reregister then too.

    I think its like Six months, or whenever Raven does a purge of inactive accounts, IIRC.

    I periodically purge accounts with greater than 6 months of inactivity and less than 2 posts.

    It's been a year or more since the DLP Holocaust, so unless Rave's been inactive hunting, you should be alright if you've logged in prior to that.

    Well, I'm going to make this my second post so I don't have to keep logging in. I'm usually a lurker, but I have another post to make so it should make my total since reregistering 3.

    That whole thing is to get you to post more frequently on the boards, so as to be part of the community. Inactive accounts mean no activity at all. They can tell if you've been logged in, which counts as activity.

    Don't be a douche and keep bumping this useless post. <3

    Frankly, if people don't want to post I'd rather they didn't. It just brings more undesirables.
