And that's why we would email them first to ask if they're interested in continuing their accounts at BU.

I think that the users who are not visited BU from 8 weeks must be deleted. Question is WHY? Better comunity and free nicks for get from a new members. I think that publick poll is needed here.

Im against the deletion.
With or without the notifing email.

Those people registered may have registered for a reason.
the fact they bothered to register at first is enough prove we exist.
See it as a vote to continue. It would be a waste to ignore registerants who read and follow progress on various or one singel bot or bu development.

Id say leave it as it is. !!

At SoW(www.sandsofwar.net) we have deleted all the accounts with 0 posts. This was mainly because we had some problems with bots registering. We did it without sending mails out first.

After some discussion we decided not to do that again, at least not without a notice first.

We have had that discussion some time ago in the admins forum. I'm against it for the reasons that Rick and Shrike have said, but if you want to vote it again you can ; I won't change my vote though.

i don't think it will harm BU when we do not delete inactive accounts. So i won't bother about this subject longer. My opinion is clear, like all others have given their opinion.

Btw, BU and million accounts? i'd love to see that

Some people may not post, but may be visiting the forums anyway. Can you tell which accounts have not visited the forums for a few months?
