Update to yesterdays username purge

I made a mistake in yesterday's username purge and included asylums in the purge. I have reactivated all asylums that were still listed as deleted. I apologize for this and promise it will not happen again in any future purges.

  If asylums are going to be exempted from purges, what can be done in the case of asylums which have no content and appear to have been used for squatting purposes? (I understand that no posts doesn't necessarily mean inactivity -- but I would think that would apply to journals more than asylums.) Full disclosure -- I've had my eye on wordpress waiting for a purge so I could actually use it for Wordpress-content (of course this is hypothetical because it wasn't included in the purge originally.)

    Contact the owner? It couldn't hurt to ask. I know that I have one community name on another account, that I'd like to give away.

      I've done that before with no luck, although I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try again. In this case, the owner's journal isn't active either.

        PMs aren't e-mailed out, so that might be the problem (if that's how you contacted them).

    Yes, I actually had no problem with the deletion of inactive asylums. There are several I came across during the last IJ asylum meme, and it would be nice to have those turned over to active mods.
