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.
  • That doesn't really help us save communities, where at least 75% of the comments on this site happen, does it?
    • i think so actually, i believe there's a way to but i wasn't sure how, i didn't look into saving communities yet.
      • You can't import a community into Dreamwidth, since by design, the vast majority of them contain the work of multiple people and one person cannot take ownership of that, even as a community maintainer.

        I believe that if you open a support ticket there may be a way to import a community that's only one person's work, like if someone created a community rather than a separate personal journal to house their fic or icons or whatever.
