Over 50,000 Usernames Deleted!

*Dragon Ball* · Aug 12, 2007, 12:20 AM

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.

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

*Dragon Ball* · Aug 12, 2007, 02:06 AM

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

Remember how I suggested that we should have sold them to the members instead??

this is good too i suppose.
