Title: Delete Inactive accounts
Post by: L3GO-Barry on August 28, 2012, 09:32:52 PM
I was thinking that the inactive accounts should be removed mainly the ones that havent been use in over a year or more.

just a suggestion.

I'm not sure on this, but I think it's hard to tell. When you first join a CG server you have to register a forum account via an in-game menu, and some of those people still play everyday/week, but never go on the forums. I don't think you can tell if someone has been active or not via forums as the "Last Active" part of the profile is for forums. If the account is deleted, it deletes all of their stuff I believe.

There's no reason to. Maybe to delete unlinked accounts but still I don't see why

I'm not basing my numbers off of SMF's flawed logged in time system. I'm using Google analytics which gives live stats on our forum.

People who don't use the forum are not active members of the community and even so, the percentage that fits into your description is negligible.

Some of our hl2rp players register in game and then never log in, I guess people wouldn't "not log in" for a year but this sort of thing happens due to the forced registration system

it's a lot of effort with a lot of possible complications for literally no gain.
