Unused Accounts

REMINDER!

Following a complaint last month from a member that I had deleted their account. This is just to remind you there will be 8 accounts deleted from the database tomorrow.

If you are one of them I'm sorry, but I can't see the point in sending you an Email to tell you your account will be deleted if you never log-in to the forum as you obviously don't need it.

This thread has been here a year now in Announcements and all is explained in the above posts, there is always a reminder in the monthly newsletter that is sent out to those that subscribe Newsletter Subscription

So to clarify what accounts are deleted from the database:
Any account OVER 12 months since last log-in that has made ZERO posts WILL be deleted.

*If you have made at least 1 post your account will stay live and you don't need to do anything.

*If you have logged-in with your username and password in the past 12 months your account will stay live and you don't need to do anything, (but remember if it's been 10 months since your last log-in you will only have 2 months left).

I don't know how to make it any clearer than that, and I can't spend all my time going through every account to check who has logged-in when and sending each one an Email to remind them (anyway if you haven't visited for 12 months it would be an invasion of your privacy to contact you, and I can do without another rude Email)

Thank You.

*If any member still has a question please ask here or send me a PM, most of you will be ok it's usually about 2-8 old accounts each month.

And just before I go. If you are the Ex member that sent me the Email about your account being deleted last month and you're reading this, I have replied to you and explained that you are welcome to rejoin us should you wish either with the same username or a different one.

I cant be fairer than that.  

Fred.

Right rant over, back to the Off Topics to see if Jim has posted any new material.
