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.
  • It may be sad to lose content that you enjoy, but it's not a reason to not purge accounts that are no longer in use and aren't enhancing the business of running the site.

    And the reality is that fic and icons and anything else you enjoy could disappear tomorrow. The owner could delete it or mark it private, their photohost could go belly up, all sorts of things can happen. This is the internet. Link rot occurs. It's not something you can control.
