in reply to If they're not using my name, let me use it

I think that if this feature ever does get implemented, it should be turned off for Monks above a certain level. For example, if BBQ goes away for a while and can't get to a computer or is too busy, his account should not be deleted because he is a proven member of the community.

    I was thinking more along the lines of folks who have never logged in. According to jcwren's stats, there are almost 1000 users who have never logged in! Imagine the MySQL clutter! I don't think it would be fair to "require" newer users to be logged in at least every three months, though.
    AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.
      Or to simply recycle accounts that have been registered, but not logged in within the first 30 days. I'd be in favor of that.
