Over 50,000 Usernames Deleted!

Wow!! Today I have deleted over 50,000 usernames based on the below conditions:
Post count: 0
Last login: More than 60 days ago
This has essentially freed up usernames that new members have wanted to register but couldn't because they were "hogged" by non-participating or members that had not activated their account.
Before the cleanup: 60,934 members
After the cleanup: 8,197 members
This cleanup has not deleted posts, and we still have just under 500,000 posts still at AO.

Thank you.

Re: Over 50,000 Usernames Deleted!

Wow....may i say this on forums but..God dam lol thats alot really i cant stand inactive people but sometimes it can be understandable. i mean I am a member of 3 forums that i never go to because im so used to just going to the ones where i am well known and have high post count so to some others AO might be that scenario

A lot of them were also accounts awaiting activation by the member. Yeh, it sure was a big number. I was very surprised.

Re: Over 50,000 Usernames Deleted!

I dare say they could be doing what I originally did, before I discovered the forums.

When I first found this site, there were a few pics I wanted to look at, but couldn't because they were members only. So I started this account & enjoyed looking at them, until I got blocked for inactivity, or something like that. Ages later, I got an Email from here about a shake up in management & how the forums were different. so I logged back into my old account & the rest is now history.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if there were now a good few people now rather annoyed that they can't access all the pics here. If you've still got their Email addresses, I might just recommend holding on to them, seeing if they sign up again, then watching them to see if they actually post anything on the forums, or just keep looking at all the cool Anime pics...
