Title: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Lum-chan on November 24, 2006, 03:59:25 PM
A user-base cleanup will be started within a few weeks. All accounts which haven't been used, ie. zero post accounts, will be deleted if they are older than 2 years. If you happen to have an account on this forum I advice you to use it.

Before the actual deletion starts, all accounts will be sent an email to check if the email-account is still valid. If it's not valid anymore, it will be deleted. Make sure your account contains a valid email address.

It is of great importance for you as a member to keep you own account up-to-date. In case of a password-loss you can get your account re-activated by email. We won't enable/change passwords on request via email or PM. If you don't get an confirmation by email of your email-change, please leave me a PM with your user-name and email-address, so I can look into this.

Let's hope this will bring back people once again.
And I think you should do this with all accounts, not just the ones that are 2 years old.

Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Lum-chan on December 18, 2006, 10:53:47 PM
Messages have been sent today to all users on the forum.
A special board has been opened to post your keepers-message. Don't forget to read the rules before posting.

I think I need a least 2 weeks before I can prune the user-base and get it nice and up-to-date.

Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation

Welcome Parias. Was it wonderful being dead?

Har har. :)

Actually, I feel I owe an apology to the forum (and particularly Lum-chan given how I was appointed moderator status) - it's not often I'll just completely vanish from a given community. I could claim that chaos consumed my livelyhood as an excuse, but it'd probably be more accurate to say that I gradually became overwhelmed with external stimulus to the point of forgotting to come here - but that hasn't in any way diminished my desire to be a contributing member to this community.

That swept aside, I'd like express how glad I am to see that the site is not only still around, but prospering greatly no less with a fantastic redesign and the same kind of content that brought me here in the first place - as well has having a community still welcoming with open arms. I definitely aim to be around more for the future!

sorry, anyway hows the cleanup going, any estimates on how many accounts will be deleted
Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Lum-chan on December 31, 2006, 06:50:41 AM
At this moment the chances of being deleted is rather high.
I'm extending the period with an extra two weeks. Was unaware of the fact these days are holidays (and such) en most people aren't ate home.
I'll start the cleanup around the end of January 2007
Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Kroptik on January 02, 2007, 01:29:11 AM
Well thought. I was on holidays,but I was lucky enough to have a computer with me (I was at my cousin's).

Post by: Kroptik on January 10, 2007, 12:44:24 AM
I might have an idea to avoid more stuff like this: if an account stays innactive for 30 days (meaning no posts, no pic posting, even with login) that account would be deleted.
Just sharing a thought here. And if 30 days is too little time, just put more time.
Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Forgotten_Lum on January 10, 2007, 03:33:58 AM
thats a good idea

Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: Kroptik on January 10, 2007, 02:32:31 PM
There's no such thing...

We just need to ask Lum-Chan then, since you guys agree.
Title: Re: Userbase cleanup / Email-addres validation
Post by: DarkDevil on January 11, 2007, 06:02:10 PM
You may ask, but I think it would be VIP, if  Lum-chan invited Falling.
