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.

  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.
