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.

    maybe it's just me but it doesn't seem quite fair to count a single log in over the course of two years as enough to keep the journal active when it clearly has no entries, the layout hasn't been messed with. it's clear nobody is using that journal, they are just holding onto it for no reason.

      for example, [info]chriscarrabba.

        That's their choice, though. This purge isn't about whether people "deserve" journals. It's about purging journals that are completely unwanted and abandoned.

          this has nothing to do with deserving journals. i just remember with gj that there were a lot of journal herders and it just kind of sucks. i've never understood the reason of having a journal if you don't use it. c'est la vie!

            Well, isn't that what you're saying? If you're suggesting that journals that are hoarded and unused should be purged, you're saying that they don't deserve to keep them, since you'd be taking them away. I agree that it can suck, I just think it's dangerous to go from "is this journal inactive" to "is this journal active enough," because there are journals I have that I haven't touched in a year but mean a lot to me.

              Yes, this. I don't want to find all the links in my game wiki to the posts of dead characters gone simply because a dead character isn't posting.

      They may use that account only for reading friends' entries, or they may plan to use the journal for a project that they don't yet have time for. It doesn't mean they have no reason to keep it.

        That's so true. I have a journal that I keep just for reading asylums as well as another slated to be used for a project and I'd hate to see them deleted and purged under the assumption that they must be inactive. Also, 14 days isn't enough time to give people a chance to 'save' their journal. Imagine if you were away on vacation only to come back and discover your journal gone? If that were to happen to me I would be just a little pissed.
