In other words, the next time you're sent down to the cellars to get a bottle of wine, bring along a holy symbol. Better yet, also bring along some holy water - if they ignore your holy symbol, threaten them with the water. You never know when one of them will escape the lowest levels of the dungeons and wander into the cellar...
Or just send someone else in your stead. I think I'll send tye.
(It was bad enough having one undead roaming the monastary .... now we have thousands? My next bath will be holy water, I think.)

You don't have access to that node.
Tough beans.

The accounts have been retyped to zombie_user and renamed (names prefixed with 'Zombie ') so that the original names are freed up again for new users. This should restore about 100 "cool" user names so get 'em while they are hot ;-)
You say that cool names are free now, but what about the Zombie Flanders? ;-)

What a relief ! I see you didn't rename paco... | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Considering paco fails two out of the three required criteria for zombification, I wonder why you find this surprising.

You're right, actually I guess I'm confusing paco with some other user, with a parrot picture in is home node, who is it ?

Update: I've recently completed another round of unused account zombification, adding another 9,000 (approx.) zombies to the horde.

I do think my predecessors should have used a term other than 'zombie', because 'zombie' implies that they do walk the earth.
These are more like... mummies.
I also want to be careful of how we talk about these things, because I believe we should be sensitive to the fact that some of
our membership have in fact passed on.

Those have been raised from the dead
Whilst renaming accounts, did you rename yours to Lazarus?
Of more contemporary note, does this kind of cleanup still get done or was it only applied to 2-year-old accounts back in 2006?
