I guess it all comes down to whether the unused accounts are interfering w/ the space out site takes up on the server that Ed pays for each month. I know that if he did decide to delete dormant accounts, there would have to be specific criteria. I believe that killing accounts that have never contributed (posted in forums, submitted articles, or even replied to an article) couldn't hurt if the account han't logged on for a year. However, killing an account that for someone that was a major contributor to the forums, submitted a few articles, or just happens to be one of the first few people that logged on when the site went up five years ago (has it been
THAT LONG ????) would be an incredible to diservice to the user...
All things' considered, I believe that our site has a pretty decent number of dormant accounts compared to some other forums I've seen that have an equal number of posts, but ten times as many users...
