Username Purge

Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
We are officially beginning our next username purge immediately. We are going to be setting any account that has been inactive since January 1st, 2010 to a deleted status. The accounts will have a 2 week period before their accounts are purged via the normal nightly purge process. We will not be posting a time when this purge will occur, nor will we be posting a list of purged accounts. If you receive an email stating your account was deleted, you have 2 weeks to log in and undelete the account. Please be aware that even though you don't see any posts or comments on an account, activity can be as simple as logging into the site or looking at your friends' page.

As asylums do not have an associated email address and usage is not as easily tracked, we are not going to include them in this purge. As always if you find an asylum that is inactive and you would like to take over maintainership, open a support request as there is a process to handle this.

These will be handled on a case by case and first come first serve basis.
  • You don't seem to pay much attention to things. The journals were deleted, but it's simple to undelete if you want to save them. This also doesn't come as a huge surprise. This sort of purge has been done in the past. Also, he's stated here and on the site of all deleted accounts that you have a period of 14 days to reactivate. So, it's safe to assume that in 14 days from your account's deactivation, when you got the email, it will be purged. 84 accounts is pretty excessive though and while I can understand it's annoying, you're sitting on 84 accounts, who knows how many of those are actually in use and every account takes up space and costs the site money. You're squatting which is part of the issue. What would probably save you from further annoyances like this in the future would be to save the content of a journal and reuse your journals instead of creating new ones to take up more space.
